you never know till you try at least at that site you may find some one who will asept u for u theres a better understanding there because people know what it is to be disabled and in some sites people rather not date some one with a disabilty wich is not fair thats why i went to lovebyrd.com as well i met a few good friends there and they have a chat room there to .

I don't have any problems with it. As a matter of fact, I do better in person than I do online. It's has more to do with confidence. Learn to believe in yourself and you will naturally attract people who want to date you.

It's easy to fall into thinking that you are "less than" or "less desirable" because you are disabled. But, that is not the case. Here is a repost of something I wrote on a similar forum. I hope this helps.


expunge it from your thinking. Your life has no place for that line of thought. It says to the man reading your profile, and any man you encounter in the real world, that you feel he is the prize because he can walk and you can't. Actually, it is the other way around. Because of your unique experiences as a disabled person you have probably learned great compassion, patience, life skills and ways of solving problems that would benefit any man who has you in his life. If one adds those attributes to the fact that you are attractive, educated and accomplished, it is very clear that YOU ARE THE PRIZE, not him. He/she is the one who should be hoping that you will talk to him.

Embrace all that is your "Wheelly Goodness" when it comes to dating and romance. Put it out front and be proud of it. It is a very big part of who you are. Yes, there will be men/women who won't date you because of it. They don't matter. When they found out about your disability, you'd end up without those guys anyway . So, you've saved yourself some time. At the very least, by making your disability known from the beginning, you'll know that any man/woman who responds to your profile doesn't care about your chair and values the opportunity to get to know you. And, if he's lucky, you just might let him/her take you out.

There are some people, like me, who find that people with disabilities or physical differences are the very best partners and lovers. I wish you the best of luck on your search for romance!

But also it is easy to judge some one with out even knowing them if they have disabilitie and what if it was not there fault or what if they where born with it why are they differnt or be treated differnt from every one else thats why iam glad they made a site and perhaps now make other sites to help those find there true love with out being looked at or judged.

But thats why i believe there is more to love than money or judge those who cant help who they are.

I think that it's my disability that I am having so much trouble. I get lots of help from other people.

But being disabled aint a bad thing it's how you use your time being alive and iam sure there are many out there who didn't choose to be disabled but now is and now it has been a down fault to them finding some one that would asept them for who they are.

It hurt's and you feel alone and feel rejected in this world because there is no kindness and if there is it's very little.

So it's nothing wrong in getting help from other's it's good to have that support and the problem is that the world has revolved of money and sex and selfishness and it leaves us good people in the middle. pretty sad ha

I changed my profile because I wanted to be up front about my health problems and since then I've had no replies. I'm independent and intelligent, I'm a nice person and I'm attractive.

Dear joanne1357,

disability's are not always in the out side but can be in the in side as well i have arthrightus in my knees lower back and neck from a car wreck also dealing pain on a daily basis taking pills for that and have sufferd with ptsd from long ago so i maybe doing better now but yes to be honest i have a disability that i wont lie about i dont pretend to have something to get help iam a mrt medical response tech i took that course do to the fact my mom had seval heart attacks and its good to know incase something may happend again.

It's the way of things we all have a disability that can stop us from sertain things but at least i try to better myself not be some who sit there and feel sorry for them selfs but now you know your answere have a great day or night

Why is it that in just about every serious thread, some idiot has to come along and be a jackass?

black wolf-- I myself am hard of hearing.I am not deaf , but if there is a lot of background noise, or if someone is talking and not looking at me I can't understand them. Friends and family all know this and so do my co-workers. All the people that I have chatted with or become friends with have not any issues with this. They will repeat something when I ask them too, make sure to look at me when talking or speak just a little lounder. I am up front with people on this and people have been understanding and respectful of this. Give people a chance and sometimes they will pleasently surprise you.

bj7 ,

my mom has problems like you and had 2 heart attacks so i feel for you it's hard but at least you have friends and family that understand you and help when needed .

What i was refearing to is those who judge others for any type of disabilty and i know it hurts .

so i do respect people and i also tell it as it is i learn long ago to stand up for myself other wise they will walk all over you .

But in any case i always believe no matter the age or what the person looks like we all out there for the same reason to make friends and maybe that special some one that can asept us for who we are .
