Hi bb,
Meeting them is easy.......just look at the pictures, find a couple you like and send them a message. The thing that makes the whole dating thing mostly impossible is the part about owning a helicopter, or private jet (for you 'Thirston Howell III' types), so you can get to them. Unless you're independently wealthy, of course, in which case you can just hire someone to find you an ostomate babe of your very own. Seriously, there just aren't a lot of ostomates out there, and those that are seem to be spread out pretty much all over this great country of ours. The "other" ostomy dating site has a map that shows you where all the members are located, so you can tell in just a few seconds if there's anyone even remotely close to you. Then you have to deal with if you find them attractive and interesting enough to want to have a relationship with. As I seriously doubt having only an ostomy in common is a good reason to have a relationship.
This site, despite its name, has primarily been about ostomy/ostomate discussion, with some dating going on in the background between the few who found it somehow possible. It seems now that this site is placing a bit more emphasis on the 'dating' aspect of being an ostomate, since it says everyone that views you is interested in a relationship. I don't know..........maybe they're just curious.......or like to look at pictures???I guess there's a perceived shift on here to more dating because few ostomates really want to "discuss" their misfortune and would rather spend their membership fee trying to meet someone with their same issues instead of listening to me blab about Oral Rehydration Solution. So can't say I blame them. But I seriously doubt there's a lot of dating going on between ostomates, no matter what the name of the site is. Of course I've been known to be very wrong once or twice.........so you never know. And there's that blind squirrel who manages to find nuts every so often............so there's that.
But Dude..........seriously, if you can't get out of your comfort zone enough to send a few messages to gals on here........then you're comfort zone is way too big. Giganormous even! To your detriment. I mean, what the hell do you have to lose sending messages to some gals on here???So pick up that pen and start to wri.........no wait........you don't even have to do that anymore. Just click and type! Now git on that!
