    Re: DATING

    I am a caucasian with albinism, and i have actually had more acceptance among "minority" races in dating than in my own race...i dont think race or ethnicity matter at all...i am more concerned about the content of a person's character than anything.  My husband is "mixed" but he looks white...i think it would be the greatest thing to have a more "african-looking" child one day.  My husband and i plan to adopt as well from other parts of the world...we havent decided, but i would love to adopt from africa or india.  I think skin is beautiful in all shades, and i am constantly fascinated by how different everyone in the world is, yet how similar we all are.

    I would like to say that one day when i have my own children they will be born into a better world than i was regarding discrimination and racism, but honestly it seems to grow worse, and races/ethnicities seem to be more prejudice now than when i was a child.

    All of my life i have fit in with the asians hispanics, and blacks in my community because in a small predominately white community they were minorities...and i was also. 

    I dont get how some people in this world believe that the color of your skin makes you "different".......this goes with all races though....my best friend was black, and she HATED white people as a whole, until we became friends...her parents did not like me, or they would say rude comments to my face, or call me casper or "hitler's poster child".....but eventually they like me.....i dont know where some people get such hatred and prejudice in thier minds.

     Last anatomy course i took i learned we are all the same underneath the skin,..so why does one organ change so many things in one person's perception  of another?

     

    "The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw..."

    "I am not my hair, I am not this skin, I am the soul that lives within....."

    Re: DATING

    Well, I do think dating posses difficulties without adding the close mindedness of those who like to love'em and leave'em. Personalities and appearance fuel attraction, but not nearly as much as proximity. The ability to chose a mate may be based on a combination of the three. Building on commonalities and differences drive longevity through communication and the ability to learn from one another, without those things the flame can burn out fast. "Stick with your own Kind...", Others with albinism, African Americans, women...., what was that person thinking? I know people who have done all of the above and still no, haps! So, I think they just wanted to say something out of habit... Limiting your dating pool definitely is NOT the answer to what you are going through, but actually broadening it may be. Overall, just taking some time to enjoy the relationship while its blossoming is what I had to do! I was always questioning things, until I had missed the moment. As a result men probably lost interest, but if you just try to enjoy getting to know the person possibly the relationship can grow into something special all by itself. Remember it takes two willing participants and there are no protocols!

    Re: DATING

    We, with albinison, will encounter many of the same issues that others do when dating.  The bottom line is, you are who you are and your partner must accept you for that.  I, too, am a divorced parent of two.  There are some men who would choose  not to engage me for that reason - or there could be a million and one other reasons.  If someone suggested you stick with your own kind, you know "right away" that she would NOT be your kind. As with any relationship, you are likely to kiss a few frogs before you find the one that is right for you.

    Re: DATING

    HEY JUST KEEP YOUR HEADS UP. IM SURE WE ALL ARE THE SAME. BUT TO THEM WE ARE DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF THE WAY WE LOOK.  RATHER IT TIS SKIN EYES OR JUST MAINLY OUR APPEARANCE. BUT LIFE IS HARD BEING ALBINO. IM COLORED. BUT IT DOESNT MATTER. IM ME.

    I WOULDNT CHANGE IF I COULD. JUST LOVE YOURSELF LIKE THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN.

    Re: DATING

     I am a complicated dater. First of all I am bi. Second of all I am picky and third of all I am nonmonogamus.  Yet with all those stipulations, I do ok. 

    I am more alone than not and I do believe albinism has something to do with it as well but I figure that is part of it all.
