I can understand you.....but its to be expected I suppose...especially in a club scenario where its ALL based on looks! Depends what you're looking for I guess...go to a club if you want to meet someone who just wants to have some fun....but if you want something a little more serious maybe you should look elsewhere....obviously exceptions DO exist (I met my gf at a club)

p.s. - I'm not trying to judge anybody...just trying to be realistic....and if I didnt have a fistula or kidney problems I would probably be as ignorant and squeemish about seeing a fistula too....

Photography is my hobby and I have met a lot of people who like the same thing by going to local flickr events. For example, there's a group in Denver that posts events occasionally, often people attend who have point and shoot cameras, no expertise is required http://www.flickr.com/groups/denver_colorado/ But, if photography isn't your thing try going to Meetup.com and look for events in your area http://www.meetup.com/find/us/co/denver/ - or you can search by typing in your interest (cars, hiking, bowling, skateboarding, etc) to find other meet ups or people looking to organize something.
