Poll question: Would you date a person with a skin disorder?
Even if you knew it was non-contagious.

Be honest, it's cool.

1. that wouldnt be the only point on which i would decide, obviously.
if they were a good person, who cares about the outside?

3. Pretend you're a typical gay person or just a male to cover the PC angle.
As far as I care anymore, that's all they want. External beauty and looks.

8. i dont know. honestly.
you asked for what i would do. and thats all i can honestly tell you without speculation.

that being said. i would think that just like any other group of people, the gay community will have its shallow members and those who care about personality rather than exterior. neither are limited to either the homosexual or heterosexual lifestyles.

everyone has their flaws. its a fact of life. if somone is a good person despite physical flaws why should i ignore them. especially when it is beyond their control. im sure theres plenty of people that share this view. on both teams.

Well, I'll keep trying. I wouldn't mind being one until the crash anyway. :D

6. Dammit, man, what exactly is this "crash" that you are expecting?
Is this the precognative dream thing? Or are you actually ill?

12. No. Quite the contrary, in fact...
My precognitions occur during random times while conscious.

With the # of DUers talking of the economy going down (higher gas prices might ultimately be our Waterloo) and another 9/11-like terrorist act, it is inevitable that within 18 months collapse will occur. Likely sooner should another war erupt. I had nothing to do with this one.

13. And you think that your chances of hooking up will be affected?
If anything, global chaos will be accompanied by global hedonism.

7. I have it too
on weird areas, such as my ankles and underarms. Also have it on my eyelids.

I also have eczema and when it clears up, there is often a vitiligo spot.

I'm quite fair, but it's still noticeable.

9. I suffered horribly with eczema and
my man still married me, Even though it caused alot of stress for the both of us. Many nights I had to sleep in the other room on the couch because it was too hot and close in the twin size bed. I would wake up to find him sleeping on the bare wood floor just to be next to me.

Now, several years later I am eczema free and he is still crazy in love with me.

Personally I don't know how he put up with everything I/WE went thru over my skin problem. I am happy that he loved me enough to see me thru my dis-ease.
