I still think he needs to be more flexible and needs to work on himself a bunch before he tries to really join the scene. While he could find a good match, I think he's really limiting his options by first restricting by them being vegan, then likely age and politics (this might fit pretty well with the person being vegan), and they also have to deal with the fact that he's pretty awkward + lives with a friend (not the biggest deal) but doesn't have a very stable nor high paying job (I think it wouldn't be an issue if he made bank playing poker but he clearly doesn't). I also think many of the vegan ladies he's looking for are probably decently educated and the fact that he never went to college could be a decent issue. He's obviously not an idiot but some ladies may see it that way. At least, I hope, he's not biking to dates and meeting ladies soaking wet from sweat.

I wouldn't be compatible in an LTR with a non-vegan. That's inarguable. I would be willing to schedule a few dates with non-vegans with the intention of improving my social skills.

Virtually everyone discriminates based on age/politics to some degree. I feel I'm less selective in this aspect than the average person.

Yea, income, job prestige + stability and living situation is a negative, no doubt about it.

Some have high levels of traditional education, others don't. Virtually none earn an above average income. Anyone who would assume that someone who lacked a degree was an idiot wouldn't be someone I'd want to date.

Amazing,

For women you find desirable, what do you bring to the table?

Amazin these are all really positive things that will appeal to females. Let them find these things out in due time rather than scaring them off declaring true love when you don't know them. From what I have seen of pics you are an attractive guy; you just need to let girls get to know you, instead of creeping them out. Good luck

Amazin - What’s the ethnic percentage of the women you’re pursuing?

You want actual percentages? I don't discriminate based on ethnicity, but recently they've been white. Unsurprising when you're exclusively dating vegans in one of the whitest major cities in the country

amazin,

What percentage of single female vegans you come into contact with do you develop romantic interest? Can you break that down by: is or might be in the same city as you vs not?

It's difficult to quantify. But definitely less than 20%, mainly due to lack of physical attraction

So basically like .1% of the population or less is a possible match. Seems like a huge uphill climb.

Right off the bat you are at .5% of the US is Vegan. Then if you filter of female, single, your age range and then attractive and then your political beliefs, you might be looking at a needle in a haystack. Looks like Portland is at least good for vegans although you seem to be pulling girls from distant locations for the most part. Is fb really easier to pull them than a dating site?

I believe vegans comprise 2% of the US population, and roughly 75% are female.

I've had the most success on OKC due to being able to filter for diet

Would you settle for a vegetarian if she was attractive enough? Or is the fact that someone eats eggs too morally unsettling for you?

plenty of vegan dating sites out there, oddly no vegandating.com it seems!

No. I did go on a date with a vegetarian earlier this year with the hope of converting her.

2% vegan sounds really high to me.

I would believe 2% vegetarian, but not 2% vegan.

I am sure this was partially a joke, but you sound like you're unbearable to be around. I'm certain that filters out to women you're attempting to date.

m,

I'm pretty sure that wasn't a joke in any way.

When I read it I had the same reaction as Sandra and m_hood. Of course, I already know amazin is insufferable from his previous forum posts, but it's something he needs to change if he's going to get along with other humans (vegans or not).

Do this. Do it for 2-3 months.

(Of course, don't only look at such dates in a clinical, self-improvement way - have fun and enjoy yourself in the process)

amazin,

You're looking for a very specific match. When you narrow down the pool so much, you need to cast a much wider net to have a good chance at finding someone right for you. Have you considered starting a vlog like that Vegan Gains dude?
