| Would you date someone who is disabled. Posted: 4/15/2005 2:08:15 PM | I respect your feelings YamIhere, but I will say this.
If you love someone unconditionally, anything that happens in life should only be a stepping stone that both of you can survive. True love isn't measured on the physical only. Its much deeper and defined with a greater depth.
If I were married to someone and they were in an accident that paralyized them, it would not be easy, but if I loved this person unconditionally it would be something we would learn to live with. Yes, it would change our lives, but isn't life so ever changing anyway?
Love is deep and if its true love, nothing that happens in life will change it or destroy it. Challenges come in different shapes and sizes, But I know for me, my love would not be a challenge.
This is what I believe and choose to believe. It doesn't make it wrong or right it just makes it my beliefs. I don't judge anyone by what they believe in. YIamhere I have to say you spoke with truth that you believe in and I am not saying its wrong or right. I respect your honesty.

| Would you date someone who is disabled. Posted: 4/16/2005 11:22:01 AM | | Ok, so you're whole and everything physical is functioning normally. One day you are vacumming. (this is a true story that was just on the news) You keep a safety revolver under your pillow for protection, as you're vacumming you knock the pillow, the gun falls, goes off three times, you now have a bullet hole in your cheek, wrist, and throat. You're paralized from the waist down for life. Now would you date yourself? | |

| Would you date someone who is disabled. Posted: 4/16/2005 11:49:28 AM | there are no perfect people. whether it is the way they think, their attitude or a physical disability. as far as dating ppl with disabilities, emotional, would be something to stay far away from. physical disability, if there was a connection, sure why not. they have feelings, we all want someone to care about us.. regardless what our condition is. | |

This sounds as if the disabled are a removed breed of the human race. I disagree. I've met more emotionally disabled people who call them selves normal than disabled people who consider themselves disabled at all. | |

Yes I would. Just because someone is disabled does not make him any less of a man to me. I look whats in someone's heart, and soul. Cheesy yes, but thats what i do :) What if you were married to prince charming, and he was in an accident and left in a wheel chair?, would you leave him? just because of that, being disabled does not change a person's heart, mind, and soul. just my 2 cents | |

Build your esteme to the peak of the top of the world. Nothing is ever going to match what is in the heart for when the thoughts and looks are gone the love there is what will bind you above all else.

| Would you date someone who is disabled. Posted: 4/17/2005 10:55:48 PM | If she has angela jolie lips I would hold it against her. No, seriously. I think that we're all abled and disabled in some way. If it was the love of my life and I loved her. She'd no about it. I guess it depend on the issue. I like the fact that Paul M could have any woman and he picked heather there with one leg (and they campaign against mines...) obviously she has a leg to stand on with him..brain looks...money.. he only foots 1/2 the bill..NO I LOVE THEM BOTH and wish the bset....i wouldn't wish anything bad on anyone..but people are loveable even if messed up a little...
How about a cheynobyl girl with a mole? If she was model except for the mole? Would you marry someone knowing they were going to die? someday? its scary really. Thanks God!!! Jesus!!! | |

| Would you date someone who is disabled. Posted: 4/17/2005 11:58:37 PM | I realize this is probably a finished topic... But i'm relatively new to this plentyoffish thing.. and I just couldnt believe that some would base a relationship with someone on a disability. Aren't we looking for personality? integrity? honesty? trust?.. What does a disability have to do with any of those things? For that matter.. What do LOOKS have to do with that?. I've never been a model.. nor do I expect my partner to be. I pity the people who are looking for a perfect mate, or the perfect model sort, Those are the truly disabled. A disability is what you make of it.. I"m asthmatic.. But I sure dodnt let it slow me down, even when I find it hard to breath. lol..and I sure wont judge someone for having a limp, or a scar, or disability of another form.. lord knows I have enough scar's of my own.... Just wanted to put my 2 cents worth in there. Best of luck to you all. Lynn | |

| Would you date someone who is disabled. Posted: 4/18/2005 12:51:31 PM | Yes Georgie that was blunt but honest. I can respect her decision if it is a honest answer. The worst thing I hate most of all is a liar. I hold nothing against people that tell the truth. That makes it easier to learn about a person and know if its worth the time to get know someone.
Having a disability is not about what you can't do but what you can do. How far are we willing to go to do something that we want.
I myself will never give in to my disability or let it keep me from finding an awesome lady to spend my life with and compliment each others lifes.
Be strong and be thankful that you have what you have. It could always be worse. | |

| Would you date someone who is disabled. Posted: 4/21/2005 3:41:05 PM | I might limp but to me I'm more ablebodied than a lot of people who consider themselves not disabled. Last year I ran a 10km marathon for spinal cord research. Took me 7 hours, but hey, I did make it. I'm an avid fisherwoman, gardener, drive funny cars when I'm offered the chance, and life is never dull or boring.
Disability is a state of mind, in my opinion. | |

If I were in the reverse position and was the one who became paralyzed, I would pursuade her to leave. Maybe it's just me, but I don't want to weigh down someone's life and make them my eternal nanny - love or not. It would be an incredible burden to place on someone and I wouldn't allow it. | |

| Would you date someone who is disabled. Posted: 4/22/2005 7:56:07 PM | | I agree. I've many friends who have disabilities. Some minor, some severe. It doesn't make who they are or define what kind of person they are, unless they become bitter and angry and push the world away. There are a lot of disabled people out there who even the most able bodied person would be hard pressed to keep up with. | |
