I sent this to a guy I've been talking to on a dating site, and he said that he doesn't eat pepperoni because it's "too spicy". I then found out that he lives exclusively on a diet of Lunchables, chicken tendies, pb&j, and cheese pizza. He's in his 40s. Should I run?
Obviously?
Help me rationalize this because he's otherwise a nice guy but his food pickiness makes me cringe
Is it possible he has undiagnosed ARFID? I had issues eating new things until I got on anxiety medication and had a similar (but not as extreme) diet.
If hes that picky with food, hes probably unwilling to try new things and experiences.
Do you want kids? Do you want them to eat like that?
Do you want a partner who dies of a heart attack five years from now?
"Nice" is not a high bar to clear
My tubes are tied and I'm too old for that anyway, but the health concerns are valid.
