Has anyone else noticed that most of us who belong to GI2MR are single?!! Jade and I have been discussing this and wondering if this is because people who are into raw/veg diets are so rare to find that options are extremely limited, or is it because people into raw food just prefer to be single. Or are we too busy? Or, are most people with mates too busy to communicate on a forum like this? Worst case scenario - are raw foodies challenged in the sustainable relationship department?!! Would love to read your thoughts on this. Purely scientific research!
wow and I was beginning to think I was the only one lol! I've tried dating but honestly, time and time again I come to the same conclusion that I could only truly be in a lasting relationship with a raw foodist. Although we are all different, I've realized that this lifestyle does hold certain values, beliefs, and life philosophies that are really only appreciated by those on this path. And on a physical attraction level alone ....I mean, what true raw foodist wants to engage in pre-detox sex? A real raw dating site would be a great idea. I've been totally raw for 6 years, and needless to say, totally single!
Haley, I agree that the dating pool for raw vegans is microscopic compared to dating options for mainstreamers. I have come to believe that this is the primary reason that almost everyone who I know who is into the raw/vegan scene is single. Out of nearly 7 billion people on earth, how many thousands are raw vegan singles? 10,000? How many of those live in your zipcode? 10? How many of those are age and gender-appropriate to your desires? 2? How many of those haven't already slept with all your girlfriends? 0? (My number estimations are just projections based on real experiences on earth!) Maybe there should be a new, corny cowboy song called, "It Ain't Easy, Findin' Raw Love"!
Hey, whatever gets the ball rolling. I became vegetarian at 16 because I wanted to look better. Then the more I studied it, the more I became interested in the health benefits.
Im not single but I was for a long time until I really got passionate about attracting/projecting the man of my dreams! I wrote down in my creative vision book exactly what I wanted, I was very specific, I would read it everyday & visualise at the same time and Durianrider was delivered(i like the crazy ones)....it doesn't take long if you believe and don't limit yourself to thinking 'Oh there's no raw lovers out there for me' as that will surely create that result.
Thanks Mark
I don't feel it was effort for me because I got really creative with the process and it was fun and colourful, its important to feel your best during the creation process so you don't receive someone else's order! -if you know what i mean? I wasn't sure for a long time what I wanted and so thats what i got...a reflection of my wishes in unhappy relationships...I asked my heart to do the order, not my physical logical limited mind, im happy with the result ;-D
if we are a shining example of how we live/eat then there's no need for 'converting' is there?we just need to be the example that we want to see ....personally i like to get on with my life and not give a brass rahrzoo what anyone else does ;) cos i…
