Specialized online dating
Dating websites never cease to amaze me. As the number of people seeking others online increase, so do specialized alternative dating services emerge. We nowadays have websites for all kinds of people – the rich and beautiful, pets and zoo animals. The other day I came across one for the poker lovers.
When it comes to dating however, there are people who get alienated for some reason or the other. If you come across a profile where someone clearly declared that they are HIV positive or have herpes, would you consider dating them? Be honest with me people… I don’t spank. ;-)

You will agree with me that dating with a medical condition can be awkward especially when it comes to the time when you have to lay the cards on the table… divulging your situation. Finding others with similar circumstances is a natural desire.
Well one thing I have come to admire about upcoming dating sites, is the ability to cater for quite a variety of people. And yes… you guessed right. A dating website has been launched for people with health conditions… from cancer, deafness, AIDS and Herpes through to obesity.
This website is dedicated to giving people with special conditions a chance to experience a completely honest dating experience enabling them to openly and honestly seek love with people happy to share their medical problems.
Do you think it is good that people are coming up with such websites or do you feel that this further alienates those with such conditions? I really would like to read your comments on this one.

Mostly the singles looking for a love connection in the online dating sites to join the tedious searching and struggles associated with wedding through million of profiles that are not even close to what they were looking for will find niche dating sites helpful in finding their love interest.

I think that it is a great ideal, but it's not really a new thing. You have groups on the internet before that seek each other out that share the same interest, this is not so different. One of the hardest thing about a web date, flirt, IM or message to a person on a date site is the fear of rejection once the person finds out about you. We all seen the profiles that say "want a woman with not baggage or no drama". Well if they reject you because you feel life been hard, how fast out the door would the person be if you said you was sick! I think it is a good ideal, because nothing else you know that the person is honest about one thing if the site said dating for HIV persons, because why would you go to that site and say you was curious? You would not. I'm off my soap box now, bye.

laugh_sailor says:Posted: 01 Jul 07I'll second your vote, Coco - Though there are a small number people here who will actually meet. I've had better luck here than on other sites and think it's due to the common bond we share.

Well it sounded good Coco and Ria...perhaps those sites are not a bad idea, but I wonder how many members they would actually get. Enough to make it viable?

Moss, you'd all join that club, and be too afraid to contact each other :)

Dating for folks with the same medical condition? Now that's an interesting concept. I for one, am dating someone with the same illness as I have, diabetes. I guess you can say we are one SWEET couple!

Coaching Testimonial
"My online love inspiration angel"
Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21
To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.
I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.
BOY WAS I WRONG!!
I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).
She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.
She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".
