Recently I was the victim of a dating service scam. I want to make people aware of this company because they prey on special-interest groups such as vegetarians.

Sad story, told in a rambling, entertaining sort of way, and it brings me to this question: Vegetarians and vegans, would you date a meat eater? And meat eaters, vice versa?
Back in the early 90s when I was a staunch vegetarian, I had trouble dating meat eaters because when people eat meat, especially red meat, regularly, their breath has a tendency to smell like rancid meat. I think I might be 'smell sensitive,' or something, as I often detect scents that others seem to miss (I think it's possible that yoga practice keeps my sinuses free and clear), but still, bad breath is a pretty big deal, and no one wants to smell rancid meat. I never was as strict as a vegan I knew who refused to eat in a house where meat had been served, even if the host was serving only vegetarian for her visit. She wouldn't eat with utensils that had touched meat, no matter how clean they were.
That seemed rather judgmental and unnecessary to me. It limited her social sphere for sure.
