Not exactly personals, but it seemed to be the right place to put this.
Is it just me, or do others have the same problem with being attracted to non-paleo dieters?
I've always struggled with feeling shallow and never being attracted to someone for long, but the more I think about it, the more I think it's diet related. Even with people who are in good shape, it's almost like I can sense they're still unhealthy because of their diet. Anytime I see people eating non-paleo now, it makes me shudder.
I haven't been paleo for more than two weeks, and it's not complete yet, but I can see the difference. My breakout is clearing up, my teeth feel cleaner, even the color of my skin looks better. I've lost 4lbs already, and I didn't even need (or want) to lose weight. It looks like it's mostly in the abdominal area.
There just aren't that many paleo-dieters, though. And people tend to be defensive about grains and dairy, even when health-conscious. I don't even care if someone isn't eating raw.
Just kind of frustrating.

Yeah I hear you on this... It's hard enough to meet someone who shares the same values that I do in my generation, let alone throwing the diet into the equation. I refuse to enter into a relationship with someone who I can't see myself eventually settling down and having kids with. And I will definitely not be having kids with someone who doesn't share the same views on health as I do, for the sake of my child. I'm still pretty young though  and while I'm gradually beginning to accept that the whole wife and kids thing might never happen, either way I'll be completely happy simply to be alive.

I'm attracted to young, healthy, fertile females who are interested in having offsprings. Our paleo ancestors were most likely polygamous and pro-making-and-raising children. The ones who did not like making and raising kids in the past were not our ancestors... their blood line died out.
We are the pioneers re-discovering the truths of our ancestors. It is unreasonable to expect them to be on cooked paleo and even raw paleo.
What my kids do notice and I brag about it: when they and their mom get sniffles, colds, or coughs, I ask: Who is always healthy? Who does not get sick? They know the answer, and they know why.

I don't know how people can go from one person to the next. I'd rather have love without sex than sex without love and when I fall in love I fall hard! I want an everlasting love and always have but I always end up with someone who "loves" me but I don't love or I end up falling in love with someone who does not reciprocate or grows away from me. It took me two years to recover the first time I fell in love and it did not work. I could not develop feelings for anyone else during that time and now, I try not to get to close for fear of getting hurt again. I am a mateless soul.

Oh, and the older I get, the less looks matter and the more personality does. So, diet wouldn't be too much of a factor in most cases either.

Ah, what a sweetie you are. I wish I was as nice and thoughtful as you. But alas, sex does matter in my book. :  This whole subject reminds me of the dietary supremacy I have experienced in raw vegan circles. You know, cooked food = poison gets extended to cooked people = poison. I don't think that's what is being said here, it just reminded me of that general demise when idealistic perfection gets in the way of an otherwise healthy lifestyle.

Like Satya said, we should be careful not to adopt a 'them and us" approach to those on cooked-food diets.
Mind you , what I love is being lectured by certain old-aged SAD-eaters on how cooked-diets are perfectly OK, as the others are invariably in an appalling state of health.
