Posted: 12/8/2006 8:39:03 PM | I have been raising a disabled son of 19 years. It scares me to think that he may have difficulty finding his perfect match....because he is differently abled. People have preferences whether they date someone of a different race, religion etc. I would hope that being differently abled would be considered in a similar manner and without prejudice. I know ....that this is not always the case and it is a shame.
My experience has been that people who are differently abled have more to offer (than most people I know) whether they are in a relationship or not. They are under estimated in all facets of life. As for dating....Not being given an opportunity to meet someone, to get to know them before you decide if you'd like to date or not/to be friends or not/to just chat or not based on the fact they have a disability is prejudice....whether you try and candy coat it or not........ | |

Posted: 12/12/2006 12:31:11 AM | To Sallyao,
do what... !!!??
I'm shallow ?? Exactly why ?!
Did I ever go on here and say I wouldn't date anybody per se, especially disabled women ? I don't think so, being disabled myself !
As for the personality ..well I highly doubt yours is any 'better', making blanket statements and judgments about other people sight unseen (or undiscussed, as it were)..
There's no symbol for this, so here's mine: ?????????????????????????????????????????? | |

I don't usually go through guy's profiles or posts, but wow... !!
I think you are bolder than I could ever be, though I was paralyzed and will now always use the nickname "penguin".
But if you'll forgive me for presuming to know anything....I think that that first girl you were with was a keeper, and it'd be well worth your time to try and find her again !
Again...wow, and kudos !! | |

Posted: 12/12/2006 8:09:55 PM | | Funny you should ask. I never thought about it before, but I just met someone on here that is in a wheelchair. When he told me about it, it was kind of in joking, but I knew he was serious. I told him it didn't bother me, I just wanted to know if he was a good kisser. And you know what? He is! I like him the way he is and it doesn't bother me one bit. He's a great guy and a great father. | |

Posted: 12/14/2006 10:34:23 AM | I posted a similar question as well because I'm in a chair. It was interesting to say the least and I met some online friends through it. But I find most women and most women that I'm attracted to run from it and are very rude...won't even reply with a 'thanks...but no thanks'. Whether that has anything to do with the chair or it is just the way society has become is the next question.
Before I changed my profile for the holidays I would get women who have started reading it, liked it, put me on their favs, e-mailed me then finished reading my profile to where it gets to me being in the chair and deleted me off their favs list. Oh, then never respond to the question of, 'did you delete me because of my disability?'. While I realize that they are NOT the person for me and are incapable of being that special person...it makes you think...'is this always going to be the case?'. Will I ever find a woman that will be willing and able to love me completely? It's looking pretty slim...women are a lot different these days. Not as compassionate...but, I guess I understand. It does and will take a very special person to see past the obvious. | |

Posted: 12/22/2006 7:49:29 PM | | Yes I would date a person with a disability if hes accepted it and is facing life head on. NO i wouldnt date a person with a disability if he whines and blames how he cant find a date. Or if he blames why he can not go after a dream for fear that people will ridicule him Yes I will date a person who has accepted his disability if he considers himself an equal and has self confidence. Self esteem is Attractive to me!!! | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 1:28:22 AM | | lately, i am more concerned about a man's intellectual, emotional and spiritual abilities. too many able "bodied" men and women abound, who cannot "do" life, without limiting my pond further by posting a keep-out sign for a man who has and can "manage" his own disability. i would need an intimate relationship, but i figure that could be worked out if both are willing and creative! | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 4:58:16 AM | Well I have positive news. I was just rejected a few days ago by a girl who I thought would be a slam dunk. I so thought I had her, we'd been hanging out constantly, going out to lunch together etc.
I think she rejected me because of my health. She often asked a lot of questions about it. I think she was pitying me, which I told her I won't tolerate and I don't like.
At any rate, I'm not impressed, and this just makes me work harder to recover fully. I don't blame people for not wanting to adapt to my situation, I blame myself and the illness for not working hard enough to beat it.
Illogical perhaps, but a fine motivator to kick the shit out of the problem and get my life back. | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 6:35:46 AM | | I did actually have a long term relationship with some-one a number of years ago who was in a wheel chair.. Stangely enough it was other people who took offence. I did know this person before the accident however. The relationship lasted about three years | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 8:13:30 AM | | Without a doubt, as another poster pointed out, as long as his disability wasn't what he was all about. My ex had a disability and 99% of the time I forgot all about it. The other 1% of the time he used it as an excuse to go out, get drunk, loose jobs and generally make life very unpleasant. His physical disability was never a problem for me, but his emotional disability was a HUGE hurdle to overcome, which I eventually gave up on. | |
