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!
I was wondering the same thing and have been for a while. So around the time I first heard about raw food I put this poll out on eat.rawfood.com and here are the results:
You are a Raw foodist who is:
poll results
47% (143 votes)
D. Not in a relashionship at all, still looking for a like minded indevidual
23% (68 votes)
C. In a relaionship with someone who has little or no interest in the concept
14% (43 votes)
B.In a relationship with some one who is interested in raw food
16% (48 votes)
A. In a relationship with another rawfoodist or vegan
I found these results kinda interesting. Does this reflect anyones opinions on the matter? Tell me about it.
So was I! It makes me think that people in raw relationships dont have time for chatting on the internet. And also that we may use this site as a substitute for relations with other enlightened people: )
i agree with jennifer...that we will attract whatever it is into our lives when we are ready.....it doesnt matter whether its a relationship, a job, etc...its about timing..and you cannot force these things.. I mean don't they just evolve or flow..synchronicity and all that??....
Are n't there a lot of raw food folk out there already in a relationship I met loads when I went to USA Raw Spirit Festival?? .
.when i joined this site i was looking for support with in a community....I am a great believer. what you put out there to the universe is what you get back
There are loads of raw folks out there..far more than on this site....so its only a small % here....the world is full of folk who eat raw and considering going raw and who will end up being raw every moment...ABUNDANCE
Someone once said to me ``at least you know what you want``..when i told them i would like to ``meat`` (ha ha) another raw food person...
.does nt being more raw.....put you in touch with your intuition more?
Maybe we just are happy on our own and not ready to settle for anyone??..just some thoughts??
i dont have time to be on the net that much but when i do i love connecting to this community for raw support and have come to really like lots of folks on this site(:(:
..
I figure it's cause most of us are INFPs (there was a post a while back, and I recall that about 90% of us scored INFP), the most idealistic type of people there are. Like seriously, we are the type least likely to get married. We are mightily well liked -apparently- (though less popular then that which corresponds with our abilities, due to being enervated, but I guess us raw foodies don't have to worry about that...;]), it's just we have stupidly high standards when it comes to partners, as well as everything else.
So no worries, being raw doesn't make you less desirable, it makes you more desirable :D!

Really? I wonder what percentage are INTP? I think thats 3% of entire population, though I dont treat the classification too seriously because I think were too complex for such labels.
Wow! I am also INFP and rarely meet others! It's very interesting to me to see that raw foodists are mostly INFP. That's a very odd combo and to find so many people having both traits! I guess I'm in the right place. ;)
probably detox...detox is interesting and creative. thanks for the strength of putting it all out there! it takes a lot to stick with it when the body cleanses. you can do it though i can tell you know it....8^))
you need to whack it right around the top of the coconut with either a heavy handled knife or a machete..im an expert now and crack open those babies in no time....
are you having to take off the outer green shell,or just crack open the white coc...
we are hugely blessed to have Loren here i so agree...
ahh complete rest with eyes closed....sounds wonderful...just the not eating part for that long,i guess after a while you would lose your 'hunger' anyway ??
i would say give it time...if you are feeling flu like symptoms i would say you are detoxing...40 days isnt a long time,when you consider how long you havent been 100% well..your body will heal and clean house in its own time....
