NOAH AOC

Hey. =] Yea, those are definately the best guys to keep around. The ones that are willing to accept you and work with you. Those are definately teh best friends. Most of my friends forget all the time. It hurts actually... because I've known them for so long. I guess we're only human though. A guy I dated though, did really seem to try hard to help me out a lot. =] I loved it. He didn't make me feel needy or like I needed him. He was just... sweet about it I guess. Needless to say.. I am a bit sorry that relationship didn't work out.

=] Keep those friends close. I have 1 or 2. I love them soooooo very much.

Well, I've got a guy friend. He's not albino.. but he's also been through some struggles. Don't just think she has to have albinism to understand you though. =] Everyone has struggles. I've dated some fairly nice normal sighted guys... I'll admit.. they may have been a bit different.. but they tried very hard to understand... Ok.. maybe that was just one guy. =]

I personally have a fear of telling guys that I have albinims.. or mainly that my eyesite is horrible... I'm so afriad they'll look at me differently.. or not want to be around someone who needs help all the time. Honestly, if they don't want to be with you just because of that.. they're not worth your time.

But.. I get the whole understanding thing. I'm here for you to talk to. =] I don't know but about 1 albino personally....

So.. keep in touch. =]

I did have a girlfriend. Her name was Tiffany. We both had our good and or bad times, and sad to say that eventually we hit a fork in the relationship after two years. I always hate to admit that I have albinism to people, but I love to say I'm the "albinomexi" and respect that. Tiffany dated me, FOR ME. Be yourself. I never told Tiffany about my vision, but I bet she can tell by the way I looked at things. It's not that I'm sad to say that I have it. Just be yourself, don't hide, it's better, and I guarantee that you'll find someone out there

 I haven't had that many problems getting a date. Occasionally I do get depressed here and there for no real reason and wish I had someone but I've always held my head up high. I've had to fight my way through life and have developed quite the mental punch. I always thought my slight depression was just because I expected a lot from myself, I never thought about it being related to my condition. Come to think about it, my complicated, head-strong attitude that I developed in middle school was probably my way of overcoming many mental barriers.

I'm not here to moap about the lack of a girlfriend, I'm here to ask a question / statement.
I find myself extremely attracted to girls that have characteristics resembling albinism. From a serious point of view, in my perfect world I'd like to find someone with albinism, that’s what I'm attracted to. Which is somewhat strange, why look for someone with a disability? (I wouldn't call it that but it is) Perhaps from an evolutionary standpoint we're fighting to keep this condition around, indirectly of course. My question is whether or not other people with albinism find white skin / white hair attractive.

I also have the problem of feeling like I’m the only one and that the chances of finding someone like me are, well… up there but I guess that’s to be expected.
