What kind of disability's are we talking about here? Like is it all just blind people or does it serve anyone that's disabled? And do you have to be over 18 to aplie?

Oh my gosh! The last poster's answer made me really really really laugh. I could just picture the combinations of disabled people getting together. Oh that's funny stuff. Thanks for the laugh

Why is it amusing? Your a childish eejit.

I fancied a cracking girl with mild cerebral palsy, till a friend a mine who's a doubnle amuptee and paraplegic, got in there first, you need to get out more.

Wait wait wait, hold up. So you are saying there is a dating site for disabled people? So you think you have to be on a disability dating site just to be able to online date? Sigh, c'mon people, quit being so close minded, you don't need a freakign site just for disabled people to date, Jesus H Christ.

Jessica beat me to what I wanted to say on this board a couple days ago and never got around to. How incredibly sad that such a site exists, and that people actually make use of it. Instead of trying to clump all the "disabled" people together, how about going out and trying to, I dunno, mingle with the rest of the world. Or even just use a regular dating site, if you must. Honestly.

Speedy, first of all I really don't care who your interested in dating. I will continue to think that the different combinations of people with disabilities getting together will be funny tome. Just as I think some combinations of non-disabled people are funny too. Next I agree with Jess, while humans like to be around like minded people, exploring the world outside one's comfort zone can be a good experience. As far as me being a childish eejit, sticks and stones will break my bones, but plain text HTML will never hurt me.

Personally, I don't get the online dating gobelty-gook.
That is just my humble opinion.

i agree with jess, chelsea, and everyone else, there is no need for a dating site for "disabled" people, i mean, we're regular human beings also, why do we need to be catigorized? this is the kind of thing that really upsets me sometimes.

exactly this is sad. and then disabled people complain because they are not treated as equal by other people and then they use sites like that

ooooh... methinks will rant... or maybe not.
First of all, if people choose to keep themselves in their own little bubbles with their like-abled counterparts, that's nobody's business but their own (like having blind people only date blindies).
ow, I agree with Jess, Chelsea, and Yvonne, I think this site only serves to further alienate people with disabilities. Now, I think if fully-abled people (forgive the term, but it's 3:00 AM) went on to sites like these, I see two problems:
1. the disabled person is at an extreme disadvantage by simply being on that site in the first place; it shows a lack of wanting to explore the world outside of one's own little bubble. Therefore, rresponses would be limited to only those in that little bubble.
2. anyone ever consider the predatory factor here? Someone could quite easily use a site like this to take advantage of someone else, depending on how naive a person happens to be. Now this is by no means unique, but let's be serious here... anyone ever heard of con artists, posers, and the like?
Off my nonsensical soapbox,
