Handa fail, mind may not
Stephen6607/30/2010
We want to do what we want to do, but often cannot. I take, 3-5 or more times as long as many to type. Yet I love this site to the point I think it is worth the effort.
°Amen! Love ya guys!
Smiley07/31/2010
disabled or not disabled
memgal07/18/2010
Why would anyone in their right mind subscribe to a disabled dating service and not be DISABLED?
°Again, any fakes or scammers can be reported.
Stephen6607/18/2010
Maybe cuz...
peacenik107/18/2010
they realize that there is more to each one of us then our disabilities. That we are just as worthy to befriend as their able bodied counterparts.
Why?
TheViking07/19/2010
So you mean disabled people should only date disabled and non disabled date non disabled? Then maybe the same about colour, religion etc? I think that is wrong. Maybe i just misunderstood.
°that's the way I interpreted it too

Site Safety Rules
AdminD4Dcom07/04/2010
Safety Rules for Meeting Online

•Remember that you are in control of your online experience at all times. You can remain completely anonymous until you feel ready.
•Never include your personal contact information in your profile, especially telephone numbers, email, home address or your last name, and only give them out when your instincts tell you this is someone you can trust. It's okay to take your time.
•Set up an email account just for online dating. Don't give a stranger your personal email address.
•Ask a lot of questions and watch for inconsistencies.
•Stay away from members who won't take no for an answer or pressure you for any kind of personal information. Other singles will respect your space and allow you to take your time.
•If someone asks you to go to their personal web site or asks you for money, use common sense not to oblige and then report the situation to us.
•If someone gives you a phone number with a strange area code, check it out to make sure it's not a charge number before you make the call.
•Please report any suspicious members, messages or postings to Dating4Disabled immediately. This will ensure your safety and the safety of other members.

Meeting Offline
You are also in control when it comes to taking an online relationship offline. Plus, you have an advantage online because you can get to know each other before you meet. Remember that you don't need to take anything further than the computer or phone wires until you feel completely at ease. Proceed at your own pace! When you do decide to meet face to face:

•Pick a public place.
•Provide your own transportation to and fro
•Tell a friend where you're going and that you will check in with them when you return home.
Using your own good judgment is your best bet, because ultimately you are responsible for your own experience. Trust your instincts and then have fun with the right people!

Scammers and Abuse on Dating4Disabled
Dating4Disabled.com uses an advanced filtration system which automatically denies membership to suspicious registrants. This program blocks approximately 90% of all illegitimate membership requests. Being that no computer system is perfect, a small percentage of these scammers do succeed in entering the site.

All public Dating4Disabled correspondence is monitored daily, and member profiles are scanned for fraudulent information. At the same time, it is possible for abuse to occur in personal correspondence. Therefore, we have developed an abuse report system by which we identify fraudulent profiles. A "Report Abuse" button is located at the top of every profile, and we ask our members to please report any suspicious members, messages or postings to Dating4Disabled immediately. This will ensure your safety and the safety of other members. Abuse reports are addressed daily.
Pics of Pets?
Tatastribe07/03/2010
I am not sure if this belongs here. But I wanted to post some photos of my pets since they are they are so important to me but the pics were denied. I just wanted to ask why?
RE: Pics of Pets?
Vazl07/06/2010
Good question. I'm guessing they might want to save server space by only allowing pictures depicting the user.
Photo policy
Stephen6607/06/2010
The policy is suppsoe to be that a photo needs to contain the member. This is to reduce the risk of scammers, fakes, etc. I think an explanation should be given when a photo is not approved & the chance to appeal that decision.
Me too!
Reen07/07/2010
I would love to post a picute of my Neelix!
°Oh you are a tease Post one with you in it.
Stephen6607/08/2010
Thank You
Tatastribe07/09/2010
Thanks everyone and Admin for helping me out on this question. I never thought of scammers using fake photos.
°Scammers us every trick there is. YW.
Stephen6607/09/2010
I wish
Simply Me06/29/2010
I wish that there were reasons listed under the decline/block functions... such as.. you are not my type.. I am pursuing someone else.. you aren't my type.. etc.. it gets so maddening when one is left to wonder why someone has made that choice.
RE: I wish
Vazl06/30/2010
I have not yet been blacklisted, as far as I know, but I do believe this is a good idea you are mentioning.
°Blocking is suppose to be for sensible reasons.
Stephen6606/30/2010
We need a term change
peacenik106/25/2010
When will you change Sexual Preference to Sexual Orientation? I'm surprised by your lack of knowledge regarding this term.
Peacenik
Sexuality is a choice?
Stephen6606/25/2010
Yes, I can see your point. It has never bothered me, partly as I think we can go too far on this PC nonsense. I would prefer something like Sexuality rather than the orientation part, if it is going to be changed.
RE: We need a term change
Vazl06/25/2010
Why does it need to be changed? What is wrong with "sexual preference"?
°It could imply it is a choice.
Stephen6606/25/2010
I don't like the wording of it either
nick00706/27/2010
I also noticed that it list Straight, Bisexual, Gay/Lesbian, Curious, Rather Not Say, Devotee, Gay Male, Asexual/Non-Sexual.
What is Devotee?
Why is Gay Male listed? Wouldn't that be covered by Gay/Lesbian
What does Curious mean? Wouldn't that be covered under Bisexual
Also Asexual/Non-Sexual does NOT specify what the person is seeking. Some Asexauls like the opposite sex & some only like the same sex. I'm a borderline Asexual but I'm NOT going to select Asexual here partly for that reason. The list of choices here are too complicated & confusing.
Maybe instead of having sexual orientation here; we could select what we are seeking instead? Like in my case. Seeking Friends only with guys, & Seeking Friends & relationships with women but NOT interested in a sexual relationship unless it's romantic as well

Last Edited by nick007 on 06/27/2010
Gender confusion
Stephen6606/27/2010
I think we are in danger of having too many choices, Devotee is someone who is interested in a disabled person because they are disabled. No, bisexual does not cover curious as it is someone who might be interested, has never tried, not sure if they are, may want to see, may like it, may not.

I think we could simplify this.

Straight
Gay
Lesbian
Bisexual
Curious
Not sure
Devotee
Asexual/non-sexual
Seeking just friends
Rather not say
Other-See Profile
Sexual choices
peacenik106/28/2010
I like your categories Stephen. As long as they replace "preference" with "orientation".
Sexuality
Stephen6606/28/2010
Yes I agree, if we were listing just the first ones. We need a better word as some of the choices are not about sexual orientation or preference. Unless we have both words: Sexual orientation/preference, as that covers both sexual orientation & those who have a preference for who they are & what they are looking for.
list still seems kind of confusing to me Stephen
nick00706/28/2010
I'd rather just select what I'm seeking & choices could be something like~
Seeking friends
Seeking romantic relationships with men
Seeking romantic relationships with women.

It would seem much simpler for me to select Seeking Friends & Seeking romantic relationship with women. Only like one person here has Asexual/Non-Sexual selected & that could be explained in profiles some. People looking for sexual things could select Intimacy/Physical Chemistry

Last Edited by nick007 on 06/28/2010
Simple or not?
Stephen6606/28/2010
Well it could be made that simple as there are groups we have missed out. TVs & TSs. Often they are put together & that is not right as they are very different.

OK, so a simpler list. First we list gender so they know what we are. Then we have a list such as:

Seeking male for a relationship
Seeking female for a relationship
Seeking male or female for a relationship
Seeking male friends only, not a relationship
Seeking female fiends only, not a relationship
Seeking male &/or female friends only, not a relationship

This way we can add whatever else we wish to our profiles, & the sexual orientation is implied.
Yep that's good too!
peacenik106/28/2010
I wonder if Admin is going to address this? They are usually quite responsive, but awfully quiet on this. Hmmmmm?
I wish...
peacenik106/28/2010
there was a way to know if someone was gay or straight so I wouldn't keep checking out the profiles of men that are not interested in woman.
RE: I wish...
Vazl06/28/2010
How about you use the "advanced search" function and fill in the settings properly?
It would be nice to have that displayed...
nick00706/29/2010
next to the pix on the profile searches. I keep having gay guys come on to me here.
Gay or not?
Stephen6606/29/2010
It does say in most Profiles, the problem is most people do not bother to look before they contact someone.
Members seraching have to click on profile thou
nick00707/02/2010
in order to see sexuality. I suspect that people searching just click on Send Message instead of clicking on someone's pro & viewing it all 1st
°I know most do not look first.
Stephen6607/02/2010
°You make a good point too Nick
