Would A Physical Disability Make A Difference To You?

i dont' think that I would have a problem dating someone who's in a wheelchair, blind or deaf. I was always the kind of girl who dated the guys that no one else would, no matter what the reason. Same thing went for me and friends. I;m proud of that, but you have to be a stong person. I've had a low self esteem from being totally slammed down for my decisions of people to associate with. But the whole confidence issue goes beyond that.
Anyway, yeah, I don't think that it would be a problem. as for the guy I'm with now, I'd never leave his side if ANYTHING happened to him, god forbid.

 

I like to think it wouldn't be a problem, but I don't know.
You can never know.

 

Certainly not by default/in all cases. But it all depends on the details, person and situation of course. In a lot of cases it also would. But like I said, definitely not in all cases and I don't exclude the possibility just like that.

 

Nice necro thread resuscitation

11 yrs, is that a record?

 

Probably not even a record. I think I did recall this thread and/or user btw... Didn't expect it to be that old. Pleasantly suprised by my memory (or is it just a sign I am using my memory for a lot of irrelevant stuff?)

 

i am in a wheelchair since birth i am kind of good looking i guess its a lot for most women to handle

 

I noticed a girl in a wheelchair and I say she was good looking. She looked friendly and was pretty. I was walking along a road near by and never seen her again. I still think about her but I was heavier then.

I have a mental disability and I know people would be kinder to me if I had a physical one. Everyone can fantasies about what it is like to have physical impairment but not mental. So I believe.

 

I think it would depend what the disability was.I would find it very hard personally,to date someone in a wheelchair.Mainly because I enjoy my freedom outside,going for long hikes,over rough hilly ground usually,and I do sometimes enjoy company when doing this.At this time of my life,with kids grown up and left home,no pets,so no responsibilites,I'm enjoying my time atm.You only get one life,and I dont think its being selfish wanting to spend it doing what you like with it,or spending it with who you like.

 

I had a GF that was in a wheelchair. We were engaged, ready to get married. I bought a really nice double-wide mobile home in rural Idaho, and had it remodeled to handle wheelchairs.
Then I found out she wasn't getting married for love, she just wanted someone to take care of her, because she was already having a hard time. I figured, "well, ok, she has a tough life already and she wants help, no biggie". Until I found out for her family that she was saying some really bad shit about me behind my back. I lost over $45,000 for her.

Now? No way.

 

i may or may not have thought about that chick with two heads

 

Yes, provided I wasn't expected to take care of them too much. I obviously don't mind helping out when necessary, but wouldn't want the burden of someone being unable to get by without me.

 

Of course. It depends on the disability. For example: not being able to have kids - there's no going around that one.

That's not even a disability in my book

 

yeah ..thats an advantage

 

i thought the question was about me, im thinking "damn that was a stupid question, like would it be one that would keep me from playing hockey?"
yes it makes a difference. it would have to be a bad one for me to say i wouldnt give them a chance. but honestly i work hard to make my life easy so i wouldnt go looking for someone that would make my life hard.

 

If ADHD counts as a physical disability. No. Since I am also ADHD apparently. But other physical disabilities. Yes. Painfully Sad I know.

 

I dated a girl with one leg once, didn't even realize it for like 2 weeks, I just thought she limped until I asked, stuff like that doesn't phase me.
My brother is a quadriplegic from a diving accident..... the girls he dates have no idea what they are getting into, he has a rough life.
Every situation and person is different I guess.
