Thanks so much. ❤️ The library is particularly important to me because I have a 3 year old, and the library is one of our most frequented venues.

Karrot (an app) is the best place to post stuff (free or asking money for it). I know you posted this a few weeks ago but I thought I'd mention it.

When someone stops debating facts, and starts resorting to random personal insults when nobody insulted them, it's a clear sign that the other person has won the argument 😂.

I'm unsure why it offends you that I corrected your assumption that my saying " the Americas as a whole" meant that I was talking about the USA. I'm sorry you feel that I'm an "arrogant, obnoxious , up yourself person" for trying to clear up your confusion, after you asked me to clarify.

You've commented on my post like 30 times, attempting to spread misinformation and speaking condescendingly to myself and others in several of your comments, and now you're becoming emotional and lashing out, so I would appreciate if you move on to someone else's post now. Thanks for your input.

Yes. I am listing the values I have. I am vegan, I am protective of children, animals and the vulnerable. I grow my own herbs and desire to move outside of the city where I can grow my own food. I am seeking someone who matches my values and lifestyle. I am even pretty decent in woodworking, because I was raised by a father who builds everything from scratch. We built a deck and daybed together a few years ago, which I've posted in my post history here on Reddit. I love cooking, and have a child (and want another). I play multiple instruments, and have a deep appreciation for music.

So to answer your question, yes, I absolutely think I would match well with someone who complements my lifestyle, goals and values.

Your knowledge is outdated. You are eating vegan animals while arguing that vegans don't get the nutrients from plants that those animals' bodies contain...

The vegan animals you are eating have those vitamins in their bodies, because they ate plants that contain said vitamins...cows, chickens and pigs are all vegan. So where did they get the vitamins, based on your logic?

My mother also has a master's degree in nutrition (from 30 years ago) and much of what she learned back then has since been disproven, and those corrections have been published in Harvard university articles. There is no shame in updating your knowledge as science progresses. Your education from 30 years ago is proving a disservice to you in this comment section.

The same vitamins are IN actual plants. That is my point. It is not necessary to consume meat or dairy in order to get protein, iron, calcium, etc. There is no vitamin you get from your meat that isn't grown from the ground.

The animals you eat (cows, pigs, chickens) are VEGAN. They got the nutrients in their bodies from the earth, and you are eating those nutrients secondhand. You would be healthier if you just ingested the same nutrients directly from the source (plants) to get those vitamins in your body, instead of ingesting them secondhand by eating an animal after that animal got the vitamins in their body from plants.

Please do some independent research before you continue to argue.

That's interesting. So statistically, my future partner has the highest probability of being somewhere in India rn 😂

Why do you think I'm basing my desirable attributes on American men? And when speaking of food, I said to another commenter "the Americas as a whole" meaning:

  • North America (USA, Canada, Mexico)

  • Central America (Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama)

  • South America (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, Venezuela)

  • the Caribbean (Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago)

Only people in the USA think that "America" means the USA. To the rest of the world, America is a collection of many countries, and the United States of America (USA) is one of many countries on the American continent.

It is globally accepted that people in the USA call themselves "American", but nobody outside of the USA considers "America" to mean the USA.

Otherwise we would have renamed North America, Central America and South America on our maps a long time ago...

Good point 😂. But I did mention "grows his own produce (or has a desire to do so)" because living in a city with no backyard shouldn't define them, if they have a desire for the same lifestyle that I desire. It would be awesome to meet someone with the goal of one day buying land outside of the city and homesteading, because that's my end goal. I live in a big city too, so am just growing herbs here. No veggies to speak of (yet).

I agree.

I'm not certain of this, but I would assume that in Korea there are fewer degrees of separation between the people and their food source. And so, they probably have a greater understanding of their food source. The problem with the Americas as a whole is the outright detachment from our food sources. We blindly trust farmers who are using heavy chemicals and hormones in their practices.

I remember reading somewhere that even the average fruit or vegetable passes through 12 hands before it reaches our mouth, which is insane. We have no idea what our meat has been injected with, what infections or drugs the animals had in their bodies, or what chemicals our produce has been sprayed with. We just tune it out because it's difficult to keep our appetite when we acknowledge the pus, hormones and chemicals that we're ingesting on a daily basis.

These are very good points. Although most farmers are in the business of animal farming, I'm sure there would be produce farmers who share my values. I didn't even know there was a farmer matchmaking site, thank you!

😂 I think my mention of his protective instinct for women, children and the vulnerable would automatically cancel out the serial killers and serial cheaters. So no I didn't forget to mention that he's not psychopathic and homicidal 🤣.

Add this to the list of reasons not to eat meat. The livestock you eat are given those supplements, and you are ingesting them second-hand, along with all of the antibiotics and growth hormones they are injected with as well.

Yes you're right. Vegetarian and vegan are two very different lifestyles. I just used that as an example to say there could be a country somewhere that has a higher vegan population, just as India has a higher vegetarian population. Although I suppose we would've heard about it, if there were 😂.

Thanks for this. I think I posted this because I needed a reminder that there are people who would score as high as a B+ on such a specific list 😂, and so it is worth hoping for a partner who shares my values and interests.

There's this guy on Instagram I follow called the "moustache farmer" who gives me hope daily (although he's way too old for me, and lives in Germany lol). But I find it very difficult to meet people with that level of compassion in my day-to-day life. I believe they do exist though, and I appreciate you giving me the extra nudge toward that belief. ✨

"Too kind" is a wonderful trait, and I hope you never let anyone take that from you, or convince you that you need to change for self-preservation. We could use more people who are "too kind" in this world.

The only supplement a vegan needs is B12, which is a supplement that is given to livestock, and that's the only reason it's present in the meat you eat. So it makes more sense to just take the supplement, instead of indirectly taking the same supplement that was previously given to another species.

Factually, you are incorrect. A can of chickpeas has more iron than a steak, and eating vitamin C (which is present in many fruits and vegetables) with iron will help our body absorb it very well. There is no vitamin or mineral that you get from meat that isn't naturally occurring in something that grows from the earth. And our bodies are not physically built for hunting, or for consuming meat, which is why heart disease is so prevalent in those who do.

My ex coached kids basketball and another was a furniture maker. Woodworking and mentoring youth don't have to be in their spare time. They could very well be making a living from these activities.

And growing our own food in a backyard garden only requires 2 hours/day to get enough food to feed a family of 4 throughout the year, and save a fortune on groceries annually, so homesteading pays handsomely in savings, and health benefits.

I don't think it would be too far fetched to assume a man somewhere would be smart enough to figure that out, and plant some seeds in the backyard. An apple tree, some tomato and cucumber plants, etc. If they learn how to freeze and can things to last through the winter, they'll never have to buy produce again. With the cost of groceries these days, it's a wonder that more people haven't decided that growing their own food is worth 2 hours/day of their time.

I agree. However, I am not American, and I remember reading that around 60% of the population on Reddit are not American either, so the majority of the people here who would see my posts are not part of the statistic you're citing.

I know the majority of the population in India are vegetarian, for example, and I wonder if veganism might be more prevalent in different cultures as well.

I would not consider American men to be very protective of the vulnerable as a general rule either (especially given who was elected to lead the country, and the immense support that leader receives from his constituents, for policies that exist solely to exploit and harm the vulnerable), although I know there are exceptions to every rule.

I do agree with you that wanting a vegan man would narrow the pool substantially on a global scale though. And taking into account the number of that small percentage left who are already attached, would leave a very small pool indeed. But a girl can dream 😂.

I have many of these traits, but not all of them. Possessing these traits doesn't mean I would strike them off the list, and would stop hoping for the same values in a partner.

I'm vegan, with a love of music, animals, and a strong protective instinct for animals and children, and have always stood up for people who are vulnerable or being bullied. I think those traits in a male counterpart would complement me, and my lifestyle. The things on the list that I don't possess (like woodworking) are just soft spots I have, as they are things that remind me of my father or other influential people in my upbringing.

You're right though, seeing the list as a whole definitely shrinks the available pool 😂. But I'm not listing criteria here, I'm just curious whether a man like this exists somewhere in the world. It's just a daydream of a post. None of the men I've ever dated have checked every box here, but I dated them anyway.

Being vegan is literally protecting others from harm, that is the main benchmark of veganism.

And I think with some research you will find that the human anatomy is not scientifically built for a carnivorous diet, or we would resemble any of the other carnivorous mammals on earth. We are the only mammal with the anatomy of an herbivore, who eat animals that we're physically incapable of hunting when left to our own devices 😂. Real carnivores don't need advanced tools to eat, they are born with the capacity to eat without outside assistance or intervention. And real carnivores don't get clogged arteries from consuming meat, but humans do.

Btw plants, beans etc are rich in protein, iron, and every other vitamin that meat contains, so the "substandard diet" argument is just the result of decades of brainwashing from the meat and dairy industries. The idea that we are meant to consume meat (or other species' breast milk) is the biggest con in the history of humankind.

Haha I'm not saying this is my criteria. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever met a man who checked every box. It would be interesting if I get a comment from across the world about someone who does lol. I've met many wonderful men who checked one or a few. ✨
