[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you posters all 22 or something? It seems very immature and superficial to dismiss a person for something like this.

Also, while people claim this is about practical differences, it seems they are really saying it’s about class. If you would accept someone who’s vegan or Keto or kosher but not someone who is generally picky, you’re really just saying you’re cooler than they are.

And if you’re saying you’re a foodie and could never be with someone who isn’t, then I don’t think long term partnering is for you. People all have their own hobbies. My husband is into sci fi and I’m totally not. I believe I worried about that once when I was 22. Life got much bigger and his other characteristics got much more important.[/quote]

You eat daily. You don't have to watch the same movies or read the same books as him. HUGE difference.

It's also embarrassing to go to friend's/relative's houses with a picky eater. They will pick through all the food, make faces (they don't mean to) and generally just not eat the food served. It's a thing they've trained themselves to do. My dad can't do mayo/sour cream/ricotta. He will happily be eating a food with one of those ingredients, but when you tell him there's sour cream in it, he starts gagging and can't eat a bite more. Utterly ridiculous and childish.[/quote]

+1. It's every dinner for the rest of your life.

I feel for you with your dad. I once dated a picky eater. I brought him to my sister's and they made grilled chicken breasts on the bone because they knew he likes to eat a lot of protein. He gave me a stricken look like they were hurting him because he eats boneless chicken breasts but chicken on the bone was one of his prohibited items. That was it for me. His picky eating was just another way for him to be a crazy control freak. Every picky eater I know has other issues. It just doesn't seem to be an isolated trait.[/quote]
