At times he could weigh between 75 lb. to 125 lb. He also had a Colostomy Bag. It was hard for him to disclose his disease to anyone. But it was really hard for him to tell someone he had a colostomy bag, when do you tell someone that you want to date that you have a colostomy bag….. the first time you meet, the first date, the second? So I thought if he met someone at a website where everyone had the same condition there would be nothing to disclose. He passed away July 15, 2004,(<a target="_blank" href="http://www.mem.com/display/biography.asp?ID=517377)" rel="nofollow">http://www.mem.com/display/biography.asp?ID=517377)</a> back then the website was in the developmental stage but he liked the idea. As we were developing the website it came to my attention the different people around me who had different conditions that might want to use my website for friendship or love. We put in 11 conditions to start, thinking we could add more later. Some of the conditions were added just because I knew someone who had that condition, and maybe their diet led me to add them. Another friend was deaf and suggested that also should be added to the website. Its just an idea thought up for people who had certain conditions to better their lives through friendship or love.

But since it's a "full disclosure" website, you can easily avoid the STD folks if you wish. People: What I had in mind, of course, was diabetics looking for other diabetics.

I guess folks with those diseases like companionship, too. Yes, Nick, STDs are one area of medical conditions they cover. I guess folks with those diseases like companionship, too.

At least at first. The website bills itself as "STD Dating Services" Doesn't STD stand for "sexually-transmitted disease" ? Concerned, Nick Sounds good! At least at first. The website bills itself as
“STD Dating Services”

Doesn’t STD stand for “sexually-transmitted disease” ?

Concerned,
Nick
