Why are all my raw food friends single?
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!

Seem to be ISFP, that was the second test and the one I felt most comfortable taking for the second time. Right now I may be border line between the J and P on the last letter. Personalities change though I believe.

Two of my colleagues started dating and one of them told me that she wanted a boyfriend cuz she was lonely and wanted someone to turn to. I want to date people from who I can learn and help me grow as a person. Id rather be alone than dating someone out of boredom or loneliness.

girl, the whole package! i do believe we can have that beautiful experience. i dated a wonderful man for over 2 years who never wanted to get out there and do physical stuff like hiking, yoga, biking...he just wanted to sleep in. then i dated mr. fit guy who was open to all of that but did not have an open heart..really afraid of attachment. so now i'm looking for the balanced person...who also likes the raw everything as you put it! :-) meanwhile, self- cultivation!

Hmmm. This is an interesting question.
The raw foodists in town (300 of them) are people I meet within a certain social circle of mine, but they do not completely encompass it. For example, I also hang around artists, goths, political activists from all spectrums, business investors, and my work environment of academics and professionals (and my roommates encompasses just about every one of these categories, in some fashion)
What I have noticed among my social circle of raw peeps, is that they have become more like "family members", as we bond on items that people outside of this little "tribe" do not or cannot understand. The less I am understood on the outside of this raw bubble, the tighter I will resonate with my raw "family" on my inner circle.
Odd, but true.
As such, "dating" any of these raw darlings seems a tad bit -- incestuous? -- dare I say? And whatever f*cked-up scripts I have from childhood that prevent me from dating family are fine by me.
I even have a date next week at our perennial raw restaurant, with a well-known professor in town who has been a vegetarian for the past 14 years or so. "Dating" material, definitely, and even beyond that, perhaps. But if she had constantly been within my raw food circle for the past 3 years, I am not sure I would find a "date" with her that appealing.
Anyone else see it this way?

Thanks!
I've managed to only screw up a handful of dates in my lifetime, so I'm pretty confident that the odds are in my favor this time, and everything should go fine ;-)

I watch a lot of TV. For a normal person, it's probably too much, but for an aspiring TV writer, it's probably not enough. I watch Top Chef, Project Runway, Heroes, Gossip Girl, Greek, Biggest Loser, Glee, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, and Bon...

No, it needs all three. Flavor and ratio, not just equal parts of every component.
