    When I, a man, am eating by myself I include meat sparingly, but when I eat food prepared by the women in my life, meat is front and centre and hard to avoid. I guess that is the threat to masculinity? The “why won’t he eat this perfectly good meal I made for him?”

        What is there to talk about? There is nothing wrong with the meals.

          Ask her if she can make some more planty meals because you want to take care of your health, thats usually seen favorable

            You want me to lie? I’m not necessarily looking for “planty meals”. I gravitate in that direction when I cook because that’s the kind of food I can make taste good, but that is not necessarily someone else’s skillset. There is nothing wrong with the meat dishes put in front of me. They taste good too.

              Ah i thought you wanted to eat less meat, if not then there obviously isn’t a problem.

              You wouldn’t have been lying if you wanted that.
