Illness'?

If you where looking for a person to have some "fun" with, be it a one night stand, a discreet long term relationship, or a lasting relationship, would you want to be with someone that has had a serious illness in the past? I'm not talking about a STD, but more the lines of cancer or something on that line, nothing transferable.
What if they had something you could see, not from the outside, walking down the street, but when your laying in bed? Would you be with that person or no? And why/ why not?

sure, why not?

Whaddya mean "if" I was looking?

I would have no problem with it. Hell, I may like them even more because of their strength and ability to survive.

I certainly wouldn't have a problem with it.

A totally different question. What about someone who currently has an illness?

Thanks Milky and Cathleen, it's good to know that theres ladies out there that outwords appearances isn't all there is to a person.
And Cathleen, I know what your talking about with people who is currently ill. I had 3 surgeries last year for cancer that left me, well, not as I was suppose to be, so now I'm alittle self-concious about my looks, aleast naked..lol. But they hope they got it all, but to me it doesn't matter, as I have sworn off doctors and hospitals, next time I see one is when I'm dead.
And due that that I'm leary about trying to get involved one way or another with a lady if I met one. Thanks again for the input.

I'm sorry to hear about your cancer. I hope you have a full recovery.

Health issues and dating aren't often thought about or discussed. I suppose partly because when we meet others the inital physical appearance may lead us to assume the other is healthy unless we see tubes and do-hickies are attached. As you've said, many times we don't see the ailment or disability with the eye so the assumption isn't difficult. But for many it is reality and it makes for some tough decisions.

I wish you well in your recovery.

Present or past, I wouldn't have a problem with that.

You're a sweetheart. Present illnesses can cause trepidation for some; which is understandable at times.

Thank you, Cathleen. I have worked around it, lived with it with close family members and it no longer intimidates me.
