Ziggyrbe10k, 51

Where art thou, my vegan soulmate? I went pescetarian in my home country (Argentina) when I turned 25. I didn't know any vegetarian people at the time, and everybody thought I had become crazy and that I'd die of malnutrition. I've became vegan only three years ago.

The last three years have been a roller coaster of various types of activism, and I'm now mostly dedicated to a project I've founded, rbe10k, with the goal of eliminating worldwide poverty within an adult lifetime.

I'm at a time trying to juggle wanting to develop a social life whilst being introverted, vegan, geared towards social change, and separated with late teenage children. Most of my social interaction is online and international (mostly as a result of rbe10k), which is pretty lame, and it definitely doesn't address my need to socialise, and the chance to develop a romance. Plus, being an envirovegan puts me at odds with most vegans I've met, and being a non-political and non-confrontational social change activist puts me at odds with most social change activists I've met. I am still to find my niche!

Some of the attributes I have that I value are an inability to get offended (it does have its drawbacks though), not being jealous nor possessive, being respectful and supportive, tender and sweet, adventurous, aware of my codependent behaviours (and that of others'), great cook, musical, open-minded and critical thinker, physically affectionate, and generous in every sense.

In looking for a soulmate, I realise that a relationship with someone who's not vegan (or almost vegan) tends to be conflictive. I'm looking for someone to support, be supported by, and learn from each other; a mutual companion and witness, someone with whom we can experience being fully honest and unashamed and silly, be mutually interested in each-other's stuff, and support each other in growing independent and fulfilled.
