The vegetarian thing makes eating out difficult, for sure. When I go out with friends, I can always have a steak or a chicken breast and have it be reasonable, but I see where you’re having trouble.

It just makes the prospect of dating weird too. I think I have a date on Thursday. How long until I tell him about BJJ? Lifting? That I eat like a freak? You know, that’s why it’s easy to stay w/in my friends, but dating them doesn’t actually work.
Your husband doesn’t train does he? Does he think you’re weird? I’m reading RBlue log, and her BF thinks she’s getting too big. How are you supposed to achieve that balance? [/quote]
Holy shit.
I always thought of “weird” as being a good thing and it annoys me when someone wishes they were more “normal”. I prefer “unique” anyway.
Any guy who sees these quirks as a bad thing, is more than likely a boring fuck to begin with.

Yeah. I’ve always been an oddball and have trouble relating to people on common experiences since I don’t seem to have any
So I’ve learned to embrace my ‘individuality’ and see it as a quality not a deficit.
I used to be afraid to share tales from my experiences because I didn’t want to draw attention to myself but I’ve learned people are interested in those things that make everyone different and it ends up people get a real kick of the stories I tell about my family of freaks.
I’m still a bit reserved around new people but the point is weird is not necessarily a bad thing and if you are weird and someone thinks it is, then better to know sooner rather than later.
When getting to know a guy I’ve always been up front about my personality ‘defects’ (I don’t really see it that way
) but it was very necessary because my appearance seemed to attract guys looking for someone a lot more submissive, feminine and traditionally girly which I have never been.
IME it is pretty demoralizing to find a guy and get into him only to find that despite liking your looks he wishes you were someone else and tries to convince you’re wrong the way you are.
