A bit about me: I only eat raw food, I'm a vegan and I don't drink alcohol.

For most people I meet, even one of these things is either a turn off or a cause for a three hour lecture on "Why you should drink alcohol like all the rest of us".

While that has yet to come up in my game (AFC, yo), it will eventually - my friends say that I stand out too much in a pub with a glass of water (or a cup of tea), and I suspect the girl might ask questions if I go out on a dinner date and order nothing but a salad.

So, my questions are as follows:

1) When it comes to women, how much of a DLV am I displaying by being picky with my food and not drinking alcohol?
2) When asked "Why?", is there anything I can I say to portray this as a DHV? Advice for some canned material would be appreciated!
3) How can I give off the vibe that I'm completely secure in the choices I made and not come across as some looser who is insecure about his beliefs?

Hope to get some responses!

The secret is not lead the conversation around what you don't do. You must focus the conversation around your passion and why your beliefs are so important to you. One of the most Amog things to do is to be truely passionate about something. Don't ever be insecure about your beleifs, embrace them fully. You should speak about your beliefs the way Tom Cruise speaks about scientology.

Oh yeah, and taking care of yourself can be a DHV too. Use it in a family context. Like "One day I'm going to have a family, and it's very important to me that I am healthy and able to take care of them till I'm an old man. I want to see my great grandchildren one day and this is going to let me." (this will flip all kinds of evolutionary switches)

don't worry about drinking water instead of alcohol, i do it all the time, occasionally i'll get pissed of my nut, and i'm not a vegan, but i drink water at clubs all the time, no big deal.

If anyone asks, tell them that you're drinking water in between each shot. This way, tomorrow you won't wake up with a hangover.

This is actually true, and it's a good reason to shut them up.
