Can a carnivore and a vegan find and sustain love? Opposites attract but since sharing meals is a significant part of the dating ritual all bets are off.

My dad and his GF have the whole Vegan/Carnivore thing down pat. They've successfully made it work for some years now. With it, they have also exposed my son to a variety of foods he would not otherwise have had at our house, and I think it's great!
1I find it very hard to believe women these days are having less sex. How does one get this data anyways???
2My fiance and I are living the carnivore/vegan lifestyle. It's really not so bad, he respects my vegan ways. We just eat separate meals and every once in a while I have to go to Whole Foods for my freaky vegan items. We've found several restaurants we both love that also cater to my needs, as well as a few delivery places that have vegan offerings. We have had zero issues with this. I guess if the vegan in the couple intentionally picked philosophical arguments about animal cruelty and such...there could be issues. But we just have mutual respect and would never skirmish about what the other decides to eat.
