There should logically be tons of people on Veggly, yet there are barely any profiles
For those who don't know, Veggly is a dating app for vegetarians and vegans. Anyways, despite being a conventionally good looking young men (lots of likes on Tinder), Veggly is a desert for me. I am also in a big city where there is a vegan community (Montreal).
Ok so here is a bit of math, skip to last sentence of the paragraph if it does not interest you. Links to sources will be provided on demand in the comments, but I don't want to put links in my posts. There was a famous survey by Veggly that stated half of vegans would only date other vegans. So if we go by the estimate that 1% of people in Montreal are vegan AND only date others vegans, that leaves 20,000 people. This is a very conservative estimate by the way: Montreal is a city with more vegans than the rest of Canada, yet I took the estimates for Canada. Even if we do not count people who are out of my age range and only count women (around 5% of population), that still leaves around 1000 people. In the age range I am looking for, around 30% of women are single & would eventually want relationships, so that should mean 300 active women on Veggly in Montreal.
However, I only see the profile of someone near me on very rare occasions. I do not understand why there are not more people there. Where else would vegans who are "vegans only" find love? If you try to stumble on someone IRL, you would have to stumble on a vegan of the gender you are looking for that is single, which seems borderline impossible.
I have also tried other dating apps, but you just get swarmed by non vegans. And if you do stumble on a person that doesn't eat meat there, they are likely of those that do not mind non vegans, so the person probably is writing with tons of other people & is highly unlikely to reply to you. I have also tried niche vegan apps, but they are empty.
WHERE are the other vegans?
