Category: Dating and Relationships
Hey, I am on dating4disabled.com it markets to the disabled community but isnt as accessible as it could be. okcupid.com isnt all that accessible either. who knows of free dating sites? one where all of it is accessible. Where i can answer questions without hearing the selection eight times one where a bunch of crap isnt auto refreshing. I am seriously wanting something that will work with firefox and screen readers well something that isnt full of crap on the main login page. I see so much crap on okcupid like they take and show stuff from all the stuff is that necessary? if i want to see my profile options and stats i could click on profile. for matches i could click matches and select what i want there. i shouldnt have to get sighted assistance to find people 20 to 27 i did though. there is no reason for a page to have 91 headings and 600 links so yeah, i want a good dating site that is accessible. I like okcupids q and a thing to match people. its cool but i want it in an accessible format!
OkCupid can be a bit annoying but if you turn off the instant messenger and change some of your profile settings, it's not so bad. If you're a legal adult, I'd suggest either

for a long-term relationship or friendship. If you want an fwb (friend with benefits), quick sex or just something less serious, you could check out
http://www.adultfriendfinder.com
These are both free and accessible but do have paid options. I believe AFF makes men pay to use certain features, but this is not true for women. If you're looking for something completely free, very unique and accessible, check out
http://www.passionsnetwork.com
The best way to describe it, using my own alanology, is a tree. This is the main trunk. Then, there are branches (networks actually) for different interests. Each network has it's own site but all come from this main site. There are over 110 of them and you can join as few or as many as you want. I believe they also have groups and stuff on there but haven't gone there in awhile.
I also forgot
http://www.craigslist.org
Again, if you're a legal adult (18 or over in this case) you can post an ad on there and hide your e-mail etc. It's free, accessible and you get alot of cool results, or at least, I did. That's actually how I met my boyfriend. they have everything from longterm- and marriage, to casual dating, to misc romance, to sex with no strings. I think
http://www.kijiji.org
is like that too.
thanks for the info i will check those out.
Doesn't Craigslist also sell things? I was thinking of looking on there for musical instruments. Of course just like anything else you have to be careful. Craigslist has been in the news a lot recently and not in a good way. Or at least, certain users have been.
Well, yes. I'd think that being careful would be common sense. That holds true whether you meet someone from work/school, from a paid dating site or from a free one like CL. But glad you brought it up in any case. Never give your full name, address, phone number or other personally identifying information until you completely trust the person. It's always best to start with the phone and see how you feel about actually meting the person. Yes, Craigslist offers a service to buy and sell things and sometimes, they have amazing bargains. The whole site is amazing. Most of the time, though, when you buy from CL, you have to go in person to pick up the items. However, since there's no middle man, you might just ask the seller if he/she could ship the item to you. Also, it's a fixed price most of the time, never an auction. On the downside, there is no rating system for sellers as there is with ebay.
um...Jenni, I thought you were engaged?
The Zone is pretty damn accessible and from the looks o' things on here looks like kinda a dating site to me ... of one fashion or another
that died with his constant threats of suicide he hit me emotionally abused me so i moved out of my place and he split to go home to mommy when i wouldnt let him eat at my house anymore. or sleep here either. he had my old apt. with his shit in it. so yeah, sent the now thirty year old man back to mommy
he says he has a place of his own.
lol jenny try www.blackpeoplemeet.com
or
www.vibeline.com
I am not looking to date a black person, and thats what those last two sites are geared for, my family well there my family and all but could i please disown some of them? long story. But yeah, its also a culture thing, i dont get the whole way the young black guys talk and some of there habits are less pleasing. Just never hit it off with a black person except one and one of my moms cousins said dump him or i will kill you bastard and he wonders and so does mom why i hate him. I got relatives from the south lemme just put it that way.
Ah I see. Me, well to be honest I've just about had it with relationships for the moment. My most recent girlfriend believes she's a vampire and thinks I'm too nice and boring for her. I've decided to focus for the moment on finding a job and getting more into music. And if I can't find a job, trying to save up enough so I can move to a bigger city, as much as I hate the thought. But that's a whole nother story.
Hey, besides craigs list, are the other sites for both blind and sighted or just blind people?
www.plentyoffish.com You need help signing up, but after that you can email them and they'll turn off the blue letter thing that you have to read to send messages, but you can post and all.
