Women who think the silent treatment is the proper way to express displeasure, disapproval, or disagreement. Better that you yell at me, so that we can hash it out or at least me stick up for myself. If you're not talking to me then you're just arguing with yourself.

I dated one of those too! And I'm a vegetarian. It wasn't what caused our breakup, but let's say it was one of the things that made me wonder if we could seriously share our lives forever.

so imagine a future where you celebrate everything at Applebee's.

Also, fruits and veggies are delicious. And there are SO many flavors/textures/way to prepare them! How can you not like any??

Also on a food related note: my deal breaker with potential SOs is if they won't share their food with me. I love trading bites at meals, so you get to try TWO things, amirite?

Cigarette smoking or past DUIs.

Oh, that's bad.

I once dated a guy who was REALLY into TV, and it drove me nuts. He would talk about characters from these shows like they were real people that he actually knew, like "Oh, Lana is so pissed at blah blah blah oh man what will happen...." type shit. I didn't even have cable at the time so I never knew who he was…

My husband was pretty picky when we first got together. But he was 18 so I gave it some time and within 5 years he was eating my lentils and squash soup. Took a few more years to get him to try sushi. So I think some change us possible, but this dude is I'm guessing not 18 and also seems more extreme.

not texting with whole words and sentences.

i dated a guy who, in the beginning of our relationship, texted like he was 14. "U wanna hang w/ pple?" oh i loathed it. i loathed when friends did it, and honestly it made me want to not date him. it made him seem hurried and not a little dumb. he was so intelligent, funny…

I don't understand that. I've tried almost everything once, and I know that I like a good salad and some meat on the side. Lots of fruits and veggies are wonderful. I don't understand picky eaters. I don't like mustard, for instance, but I'm not going to throw a fit if my burger accidentally has a bit on it.

My old boss was like this. He literally never ate any vegetable matter other than potatoes and maybe onions in a sauce or something. How does your colon survive?

oh man, picky eaters. I had a first date over dinner where the guy ordered potato skins only. that would be one of my biggest pet peeves.

People who won't try new foods drive me bananas. A lady I work with has never eaten avocado. Or goat cheese. Or sushi.

Two words: Vitamin Water.

Unless there are other amazing qualities or a shortage of compatible men within 3 hours of you, I'd say maybe move on? My friends describe it as "you have to eat with your tribe" in order to be a tribe. It is their first rule of dating.

If he is cooperative, perhaps the two of you could take turns and make meals for each other? You could try making the stuff he likes, and he could try to do the same for you. Perhaps by cooking with vegetables himself, he will be less opposed to the idea.

I firmly believe that's the definition of sex positive: "mind your own sexy business and let other people mind theirs." Figure out what your own personal sexy business likes/dislikes are, and live those. Let other people live theirs.

EXACTLY. That's it. That's the whole thing. Do what works for you and mind your own damn business when you find out others are doing differently.

I've often wanted to be able to enjoy casual sex. It just isn't for me, though :(
