And your point is what renaldo?????

Many of us here are ill, but don't start threads saying asking everyone what they think about us being on the threads.
Celebrate being alive and just get on with it.

The sooner the better. People are more understanding than you think they are.

yeah, but if you tell someone all your bad points at the begining, then it could be a little off putting...
for instance ...
should i tell them I have smelly feet?
and a crap sence of humour (or so im told),
and i like to fart and scratch my ass,
that when i get drunk i think i have the voice of an angel, but really it sounds like a lion with laraengitus (i cant spell, you know what i mean)
i know those things are semi trivial, but other things like..
i was deformed at birth, not exactly noticable when fully clothed, but topless its hard to miss, or sometimes i get so depressed that i drink myself into a coma.
or that for years i spent all my time with my kids and none with adults, and there fore have what some people would call a childish and imature out look on life.
or that i have a phobia of anyone's house other than my own.

i could go on for days with these "bad points" some "trivial" some not so "trivial"...

but back to the point... if i think of mysel;f as being this "f***d up" then would anyone else date me if i told them?


its hard to know what to tell and what to keep secret.
and at what point does the saying " a partnership is based on trust and truth" not apply?


Don't forget to add how much time you spend thinking about yourself and your flaws!!

Just kidding man. Don't sweat it. I think you're failing to realize that everyone has not only character defects but physical ones too. You are not the only one so don't go thinkin' you're unique and no one can understand.
For instance, a good night at the bar where I work, on a wet floor and the mixture of booze in the well dripping onto my shoes every time I make a drink can very well cause my feet to stink!
My sense of humor can sometimes be mean and yet I think it is very funny!
As a child, my mother didn't need to buy me toys as I got a kick out of farting all day long and laughing about it!
When I used to drink, I would get so drunk that I thought I sounded like an angel but instead I sounded like I ate 10 pounds of glass and ate a handful of somas-very ugly!
I was deformed at birth too-just go look in the love forum!
I have a childish outlook on life but think it a great quality as I never lose hope and feel that no matter what I will be where I am supposed to be when I am supposed to be there-very childish-but it keeps me positive and happy!
When I was a kid I couldn't spend the night at ANYONE'S house without getting up in the middle of the night and riding my bike home. I am very particular about having a "home" that is my own.

Are these things I should point out to potential partners? I think not. I would say that is leading with the chin. Giving out information like that is unnecessary. What's even more important is that just because YOU think these are potential downfalls-someone else may not and find them endearing. You just never know. So just be yourself man-it is all you can do.
cheers-

I think things maybe just need mentioning in an oh so matter-of-fact way If or When they come up. My ex-husband had a heart murmur which he didn't bother to mention til after our first son was born, it just came up in conversation. On the other hand, a friend of mine has epilepsy and she always tells people up front in case she suddenly had a fit and they panicked or something. Some people are ok about it, others aren't. Those that aren't.....well, that's their problem eh?
But some things are kind of hard to 'hide' or 'ignore' - my eldest son is manic depressive, mostly a little hyper and eccentric - people either like him for his individuality or they don't. Again, if a person don't like who he is then that's their problem. He has a lovely girlfriend, when he met her he said I better warn you I have mental health problems and she said Thats ok then cuz I'm on meds for paranoia, you gonna buy me a drink or what???!! They've been together over a year and are really in love.
So anyways, personally I don't see why anyone would bother to even mention a heart condition in a chat room, and even if I was going steady with someone and they asked me to marry them, I wouldn't expect to know everything about them all in one go - it's not like its going to suddenly turn them into some unattractive/nasty troll if I find out or not?!
I would only want to know something deeply personal like that if I *needed* to know eg what should I do to help if you suddenly collapse/have a fit/start hearing voices etc.

OMG!!! Averagemale how could ANYBODY not stick around/come back/call to see how you were??????
I was once in the street when an old man had a heart attack and I went with him in the ambulance and all, then went to visit after, we were friends for years after that til he died.
I am gobsmacked that a fellow human being could have simply walked out of your life cuz you ruined her date, or whatever reason she had. That is disgusting, I am so sorry you had that done to you! Can I send you a big hug, I know you dont seem too bothered, but it bothers me big time so maybe its me that needs the hug haha.

i agree with the if people dont like me "the whole package" then its there loss.

i had hoped i wouldnt have another "episode" with my condition, especially not on a first date, but sod's law being what it is...
we ended up in emergancy room at hozzie, and not only did she have to go through the "erm.... i dont know" with the nurses asking, whats his next of kin, any allergies , his adress.... his second name... anything you know at all ??????....
she was in cubicle at hozzie with me when i died again, and basically i not heard from her since. i cant say i blame her, it must have been a bit scarey for her.. not so much for me , i done it a few times before. it would be useful if she had called again, as she was the only one that witnessed it and could give the docs some useful info.. cause they always come and ask me what happened... like im gonna know??? i was dead... pay attention next time ...lol


What a BITCH! I totally agree with Rocket AND have so much respect for her after her story! Very Happy You rock rocket!

As for you averagemale-maybe you could permanently strap a video camera to your head so when it happens again you will see it all and you won't have to depend on ANYBODY to re-tell the story! Is there anything they can do? Like a pacemaker or something?
