Go on, provide details! Is it a meat-and-potatoes diet? What's the one lunch?

Tbh, I think YANBU- I love my food, dislike almost nothing and I think it would grate if lots of restaurants were off the cards because of trying to accommodate an unadventurous eater. Let alone trying to cook for one.

My man's diet consists of all day breakfasts and macaroni.


Run.

It would put me off.

I want a man I can have adventures and fight the world with.

Not one who sits there crying because the peas are touching the carrots.

I'd swerve that just for the sake of not having to share a loo with someone on such a stinky diet...

Need a few more details but generally speaking it would put me off enormously!

It just seems so horribly immature ...

YANBU. Fussy eaters bore me rigid.

I'm with SaucyJack (-what a fabulous thing to type!); people who are frightened of food are frightened of life.

Id have to run away. Im a real foodie and a reluctance to even try anything new would be a huge no no.

This would drive me absolutely round the bend. I once had a boyfriend who did not like dry white wine or spicy food, and that was bad enough.

I dated a very fussy eater. She was amazing in many ways, but the fact we couldn't share meals drove me nuts. I couldn't face eating plain pasta all the time! I also found it pretty embarrassing going out with her, or eating with other family and friends because it seemed to come across rudely...

Meh probably an obsessional control freak. Mate dated one like this and he spent mealtimes criticising her choice & weight. Run.

My dp constantly avoids carbs. He lives on salads and looks at me over a raised eyebrow as I trough my chips (I have to eat very white, carb heavy, stodgy foods....
In fact we are the jack spratt and his wife of the carb world.....

My last BF was a very fussy eater, it didn't bother me but that was because it was a LDR and we didn't live together.
We're not together anymore, but he is so much better with food now anyway, and will try anything. (We're great friends)
Food is everything to me, I love to cook and eat, the more unusual the better, so yes, it would be a deal breaker for me.

I agree, total turn off.

I used to occasionally fantasise about a friends DH, until she described one day how he'd pick every bit of onion out of a spag bol. l

It's the OP's very specific food-group description that makes me think she MBU.

Is the partner a health-freak of some sort? (Apols if that sounds dismissive, but I know when I've been on a health kick in the dim and distant past I have adopted some quite strict diets).

If so, surely they are entitled to look after themselves in a way they see fit?

I met a new friend for lunch once. She sat and picked all of the cherry tomatoes and olives out of her salad and piled them on her side plate. Friendship withered away, right there.
