- Hi everyone!
-
- I just read an ad in a magazine for an organization called Handicap
- Introductions. It's evidently some sort of dating thing, or at least
- they try to match up people and send subscribers profiles of other
- subscribers. It's kind of expensive - $125 a year - but it sort of
- interests me, though I feel somewhat ambivalent about it as well. What
- do you all think of the concept of a dating service specifically for
- disabled people? Gosh, perhaps there aren't very many other single
- people out there on the echo besides me, I don't know. I am 45 now, and
- have always been single, and it bothers me more and more, and I often
- feel very lonely.
-
- In an ideal world, I would certainly rather just be out there trying to
- find a soul mate in the general public. However, the world is not
- ideal, and I wonder if something like this Handicap Introductions might
- be useful. I did write them, and asked them if their material is in an
- accessible format, such as braille, computer disk, or audio cassette. I
- just wrote the letter though, it hasn't even gone out in the mail.
- I'll be interested in their response. For $125 a year, I really want
- stuff in an accessible format.
