    So the sister in law has stated that I'm the only male vegetarian she knows (I know - what a sheltered existence:-). So that got me thinking of doing this here mini census: what percentage of the vegetarian boardsies are female or male. A second question would be is your OH also vegetarian, but you'll just have to answer that in a reply. No other reason for this survey other than general interest

    Are you? 18 votes

    Female, but you can tell your sister that I was converted by my now husband. He's been vegetarian for near enough 20 years now. :)

    Also, growing up, two of my uncles were vegetarian. The whole "vegetarianism is for chicks" seems rather Irish to me.

    I'm a female and a veggie. My OH is a veggie too. Of my veggie friends, I'd say it's about 60/40 - female/male.

    Be careful when drawing results from this to take into account the fact that the vast majority of boards.ie users are male. ;p

    That had occurred to me after I posted the initial post, it'll be interesting all the same to see the outcome.

    Thanks to everyone who responded so far...

    I've only ever known about 2-3 male vegetarians, and so many more female vegetarians!

    22/F/Vegan, OH most definitely not.

    Most of my childhood friends are male and vegetarian. Biased as I am male and was in an all male secondary! Most became veggie sooner or later.
