Dating Tips for Vegan Singles at Consonance (Gleichklang)
Since 2006, we have been supporting vegan singles in their partner search. Since then, we have examined success rates and success factors and conducted numerous surveys on the experiences of vegans in relationships. We also continuously analyze the current state of scientific research to answer these two questions:
- How can vegans become happy in their partnerships?
- What is particularly important and helpful for online dating for vegan singles?
Our dating tips for vegan singles are derived from the answers we can give to these questions:
- Vegans become happier in relationships with vegans than in relationships with meat eaters, but also than in relationships with vegetarians.
- Vegans who are with non-vegan people describe a lasting longing for vegan partners.
- Vegans become happier with vegetarians than with meat eaters; moreover, partners who live vegetarian often become vegan over time, more so than meat eaters.
- Relationships with non-vegans worked mainly when the non-vegans also ate vegan when they were with their partners.
- Conflicts can be avoided if topics such as raising children and their nutrition are discussed in advance.
Based on this situation, we give vegan singles the following advice and dating tips for their online partner search:
Clear Self-Description
- Emphasize from the outset that you live vegan, and describe the importance of the vegan lifestyle to you in your free text.
- Also express what you hope for in a relationship regarding vegan nutrition.
- If the topic of “children” is relevant, you should also address this in your free text.
- It is important that vegan singles clearly express in their free text what they wish for. The clearer you do this, the more likely it is that those people will contact you or respond positively to a contact request from you with whom you can find common ground regarding the vegan lifestyle.
Correct Search Settings
- Set up your partner search with regard to the selection criteria at Consonance so that it corresponds to your individual experience. Only in this way can we, within the framework of our matchmaking, make suitable suggestions to you as a vegan single.
- If a shared vegan lifestyle is indispensable for vegan singles and they do not want to deal with the stress and uncertainty of a transition phase, they should specify that partners must be vegan. They will then receive fewer and less frequent suggestions, but all suggested proposals will be vegans.
- If a shared vegan lifestyle is indispensable for vegan singles, but they can tolerate a transition phase in which partners switch to a vegan diet, they can specify: “Partner should be vegan or willing to become vegan”. Only people who already live vegan or want to become vegan will then be suggested to them. Since the alignment in vegan attitudes already exists, the switch of partners to the vegan lifestyle will typically succeed within the context of a relationship.
- If vegan singles can imagine a relationship with vegetarians and vegans, they can specify that partners should be vegetarian. In this case, the vegan singles concerned will be suggested vegans and vegetarians.
- Some vegan singles can also imagine a partnership with meat eaters. In this case, these vegan singles do not need to make any restrictions, or they indicate that partners should preferably be vegan or vegetarian. With a good match, meat eaters will also be suggested with this setting.
- Based on our own evaluations and available research findings on the importance of a shared vegan lifestyle, we typically give vegan singles the dating tip to limit their search to vegans and those singles who want to become vegan. Depending on their individual experience, however, vegan singles can also use other dating settings as shown.
Approaching Getting to Know Someone Correctly
- Vegan singles should also talk about their vegan lifestyle in the messages exchanged with other singles, and also express what significance this vegan lifestyle has for them and how they imagine it being integrated into a partnership. In this way, the people communicating with each other can better recognize compatibility, or, in the case of conflicting expectations, refrain from getting to know each other further.
- If offline meetings take place, vegan singles should pay attention to whether they experience them as positive and whether the topic of food does not disturb these positive feelings. In this way, you can test whether veganism has a positive, neutral, or negative influence on your relationship. If a negative influence becomes apparent, it is usually advisable to refrain from further contact.
- If a contact deepens, vegan singles should openly talk to their potential partners about possible complications due to the vegan lifestyle. If no complications arise, this can reaffirm the decision to enter into a relationship together. However, if complications do arise, vegan singles should pay close attention to their own attitudes and feelings as to whether they actually want to start a relationship under these circumstances.
- Vegan singles should be aware that the greatest relationship happiness is typically achievable with a vegan person, and therefore should not prematurely enter into another relationship constellation.
