NOAH AOC

HELLO ALL,
I WAS WONDERING WHAT TYPE OF ISSUES HAS ANYONE COME ACROSS WITH DATING. I'VE FOUND IT KIDA HARD MYSELF TO DATE SOMEONE AND WAS OFTEN WONDERING IF IT WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAVE ALBINISM OR BEING A SINGLE PARENT? I'VE OFTEN BEEN TOLD THAT ITS BEST THAT I SHOULD "STICK WITH MY OWN KIND, WHATEVER THAT MEANS. ITS NOT LIKE I'M AN UGLY PERSON (LOL) BUT I'M INTRESTED IN SOME THOUGHTS AND FEEDBACK ON DAT DATING WITH ALBINISM OR DATING SOMEONE WITH ALBINISM.

Greetings guys and gals:
Well...I've actually had the pleasure of dating men with albinism, and let me tell you, I don't really think that you being a single parent is a factor. First of all, I've encountered situations where people have asked if we were brother and sister--like they couldn't get it that not all people with albinism were related. DUH. I actually enjoy dating men with albinism because we have a mutual understanding that we don't have to explain...it's definitely a unique connection that grows between people with albinism who date. On staying with your own kind, I don't believe that you should do what "they say." I mean, if you like men of different races, then date them. I learned from experience that you should not let others dictate your relationship, or it'll fail.
And to the Pink Gorilla: why do you call yourself a Gorilla? Are you thick or something? Just asking.....

I am a caucasion woman, who does not have Albinism, and I have no problem with dating men with Albinism at all. If a man that has Albinism also has children, I have no problem with that either; it's who the person is and how they treat me that matters. I have photosynthesis, which is an allergy to the sun, so a man with Albinism seems to understand that better than a man who doesn't have Albinism. Yes, when I go out with a man with Albinism, we get our share of remarks, but personally, I don't care, I very much enjoy dating men with Albinism, and hope they enjoy going out with me also. Yes, if a relationship with a man that has Albinism developed into a deeper relationship, I would be more than happy to become involved and help him with his children if he has them. Since I came to Charleston, SC, there are not alot of men with Albinism around that I know of, so I feel a gap in my life. Women with Albinism should be able to date anyone they want; I can't imagine why they could not have a varied dating life. It is a matter of confidence and I wish someone would come up with some way that men and women with Albinism could have a dating service, that is safe, of course, where if they wanted to date people with Albinism or people that didn't have Albinism, they could do so freely. This is my opinion, but I would love to see a dating service like this start, or at least where a group of people could meet, get to know each other, and form friendships; and if it goes further than that, then great.

Morgana, I suggest you attend the NOAH National conference later this year. You sound very genuine, and if this is the case, then I am sure you would be welcomed. You can get to know some people and quite possibly make new friends. You could also learn more about albinism by attending the many sessions that will be available for your choosing.

As far as the dating service goes, I don't think that is going to happen, too many weirdo's out there. But good luck to you, and I wish you well.

Felix:

My very first boyfriend had Albinism and we lived together for quite some time; I will not tell you what happened to him, because it is still hard to talk about. We had a wonderful relationship, and I never minded giving him rides or helping him. He was very smart too, and together we opened a small record store that did very well. I would love to attend a conference, but the money is the only thing stopping me. I appreciate your suggestions; if there is some way I can get there I will.

A Message To Morgana:

Why don't you want to let us know what happened to your albino friend? I know I am being nosey and prying into your business but if something bad had happened to him you can share it with us.

Please keep in mind that some people with albninism have been killed because of there condition. A lot of the people with albinism that lives in Africa get killed more often than the ones in America.

As far as dating is concerned. Dating a person with albinism is just like dating a person without albinism. Everybody has there problems.

When someone tells you to stick with your own kind that means, stay within your tribe or clan. Stick with your own race. The whites should only date whites, the chinese should only date chinese and the blacks should only date blacks. That's what they mean.

As far as someone dating a person with albnism, I guest that the same rules apply. Just because that person has albinism, that's only a condition. That person is still a member of a particular tribal group or clan.

When a person with albinism dates another person with albinism, they should be able to relate to each other as far as the condition is concerned. When it comes to personalities, points of interest and compatability, that's a whole different story.

When a pigmento dates a person with albinism, the very first thing they should do besides getting to know that particular individual, is to try and understand there condition. This may cause some problems but they can be delt with.

There are always ways to work around certain problems like, not being able to drive, dealing with sunblock during the peak hours of the sun and the most common, vision problems.

Some people with albinism, not all have problems dealing with other people because if social isolation and the ignorance of others. Dating for them can be a real challenge.

As for the people with albinism that is more outgoing and open with themselves, they may have a much better change of finding a date than the ones that are socially challenged.

HI MY NAME IS JULIEN aka MRYELLOW. I LIVE IN THE CARIBBEAN ON THE ISLAND OF GRENADA.HERE IN MY COUNTRY, IT IS DEFINATELY NOT KOOL OR GOOD TO BE AN ALBINO. NO ONE WANTS YOUR FRIENDSHIP. AND ALL THE WOMEN SCORN YOU, SO THERE IS ABSOULTELY NO CHANCE OF EVER HAVING A GIRLFRIEND, LET ALONE A WIFE OR CHILDREN.

what does it mean when u are told to stick with ur own kind...? are they saying stick with other albinos or other blacks or stick with the human race cos those are the only kinds u would want to stick with anyway...it is rather unfortunate that in this day an age people are still being told to stick with their kind whatever that means...I have had better luck dating white women than dating african american women....for some reason african american women tend to think I am white....no matter what I say. the sad thing about all of this is that I have an accent ( english is not my first language) so it suprises me when I tell people that I am african they sa no u are not ....just recently started dating an african american woman and we are cool and all...I dont think that she minds that I have albinism but then again one cannot tell but so far so good. while I was writing this, a thought just crossed my mind...it is personality not albinism that makes us who we are. If someone cannot accept u for who u are then u have no business being with then anyway...that is more than 2 cents worth ...got to get back to work
