I was born at 7 months with a shunt on the right of my head, I walk with a limp only because my tendons are too short; i've still got m permit and still I can't find anyone who can accpet me and love me for who I am. Plus I still live with my parents, I've got my reasons though.

Posted: 7/27/2009 10:59:21 AM | Depends on the disability. I probably wouldn't date someone in a wheelchair or something like that at my age out of fear that it would hinder what it was we could do together.
On the other hand, I use to have this crush on a deaf girl. i thought she was the cutest girl in the entire world, and I admired how she took her disability in stride. | |

Posted: 7/27/2009 12:47:37 PM | I have dated a disabled guy before, and it was a tremendous strain. If I fell for a guy, and later on he became disabled, then I would deal with it, but after what I went through, no I would not volunteer again for it. | |

Posted: 9/13/2009 5:14:33 AM | Yes because I am disabled and looking for a lady.
And yes I belong to other dating sites for disabled.
I only have had email friendships so far lol.
Most ablebodied women run a mile.
So if they dont want to know me its their loss. | |

Posted: 9/13/2009 9:40:31 AM | I read your profile and I must tell you this...it appears that you do dwell on your disability. Maybe, it would be better to just explain that you have Fibro after you get to know someone.
I too have Fibro but I don't let it take over my life. And, yes, I am on disabilty too but, I wouldn't go into the limited income thing in my profile. I am upfront and honest about it after I get to know a person better and I have had no negative responses after they find out about it.
Too be very honest, your profile starts out on a negative vibe. Try rewriting it from a more positive point of view. | |

Posted: 9/13/2009 10:50:25 AM | It totally depends on the nature of the disability.
If it prevents us from easily communicating, I would say no. I just don't have the patience.
If it's a condition that requires constant, strenuous physical effort from me, then.. no.
However, if the guy can manage on his own and we have no problems talking, no worries.
.. that being said, I also have to LIKE the man. | |

Posted: 9/13/2009 11:19:12 AM | I would absolutely date and marry someone with a disability as long as that disability didn't prevent us from communicating easily or being intimate. It couldn't simply be a platonic love. For example, I have a great deal of difficulty picturing myself with a woman who was unable to hear. As a blind man, my world is largely based upon sound. I would want to find someone who could appreciate what I've discovered in life and who I could genuinely have a positive impact upon. I don't mind pushing a wheelchair provided she can tell me of obstacles ahead of us in timely fashion. Reaching for objects or moving heavy ones is quite alright with me provided they're not impossible for me to lift. I'm no Superman. I could likely fall in love with someone who had mild mental challenges. Keeping notes, keeping things organised, remembering stuff, etc, aren't problems for me. However, she would need to be able to have a good thoughtful conversation as ideas are what I live for. The big thing is that she has an overall positive attitude towards life in general and towards other people. Also, I couldn't fall in love with someone who had to live in one of those bubbles due to immune system problems. I'd need to be able to go places and experience life with a woman to get any closer than I am with the people around the world with whom I exchange emails.
Quite often, I've found that the people who are the most interesting to be around are the ones who life hasn't swept up into its fast-paced race. They've had more time than most to reflect upon things and truly absorb the thoughts and ideas filling our world. All too often, people like myself who have disabilities are set aside. What we could contribute to others is ignored due to the things we can't do. The only response to that which makes any sense to me is to keep on looking for ways to contribute anyhow. Keep knocking on doors and do whatever you can to enjoy your own life and help others to better enjoy theirs. Sooner or later, I have to believe that universal justice will catch up and our efforts will finally count for more than surprised astonishment at what we manage to do.
Thankfully, I've met some very special people over the years who are able to look beyond the average status indicators of success. As a man who has great difficulty navigating, I know my chances of encountering such a woman who was available and close enough to get to know are fairly slim. However, they decrease astronomically if we let go of our hope and faith. I may very well end up alone in some affordable housing apartment somewhere but it won't be because I stopped trying for a less solitary outcome. If we keep as ready as possible for the extraordinary, we can at times have fairly profound impacts on people from our positions on the margins of society. Hang in there. The right kind of women do exist. Hang in there and keep on slugging away. | |
