I know what my capabilites are when it comes to relationship. My son's father is bi-polar, I cannot live in an environment with an individual that has bi-polar or any severe mental illness. I can't and I know that; I learned it the hard way.

Physical disability, it would probably depend on the level of care that I would need to provide. I am a very independent person and tend to seek individuals that are independent. So if a physical disability is not stopping them or will not stop them in the future to function, then I don't have an issue dating or being in a relationship with someone.

this is interesting, for i've tried in long past to date a few physically challenged (don't like the word disabled) for i was very attracted to them, the ones i met were amazing people, mind body and soul.......and they turned me down...




maybe it had something to do with me being stupid, ugly, and (slightly?) insane.laugh laugh laugh slaphead

I know how it feels... I have muscular dystrophy and i met a girl and fell head over heels in love with her, we were together for 2 years and married for 6 months and is now going through a divorce because she doesn't want to have to take care of me down the road when my condition gets worse. Alot of girls think I'm good looking, but as soon as they find out about my disablity, they shy away and want nothing to do with me. I have to say, we are human beings too, even if we have limitations and we deserve a chance just as well as anybody else. As far as I'm concerned, i think that people with disabilities seem to have a bigger and better heart.

Having a disability is not a problem. If your honest, and have a cheerful personality, you will find someone. I have an artificial leg, and I turn down women that im not attracted to all the time. Perhaps your just trying too hard. I don't even look at women and they come up and start talking to me at the stores and stuff. I think it's because I smile 90% of the time, and laugh the other 10%. Also, when a woman approaches you, don't complain about your life, or even life in general. Just be friendy, warn, and interested in her thoughts on life, and she will snuggle right up to you. Ever see a not so handsome dude with a beautiful woman ? It's because he has a great personality. Try this... Take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror. What do you see ? Now put on a big smile, and tell me what you see. Everyone see's the same thing. Dennis

I've been wondering why is it hard for a person with a disability too find that special someone.I'am on disability and its really hard for me to find someone that respect me for who i am.


Alan, I have the same problem WITHOUT a disability. I've published two books this year and I can't find anyone who respects me either.






hey Lex .. send me signed copies and I'll respect ya !! Well at least until I read them :tongue:

I have compassion for the disabled. I work at a rehab hospital. Stroke, brain injury & spinal cord mostly, tho we do get some ortho, cardiac & cancer patients also. My work is my job & my personal life is separate.indifferent

I agree with you! I have worked in mental health and other similar areas. So I know a lot about certain disabilites, so I know my limitations. And I know I couldn't handle the stress at home, just to come home to more stress. But this is me, if I choice not to work in such environments than I might have more energy at home.

However, this could all change. I could fall in love with someone with a physcial disability.

I have a physical disability that most people would not notice. you have to spend some real time with me to pick up on it.
I had a bad accident a few yrs back. It took a few yrs to rehab to the point that it is fairly unnoticable.
Most, when then realize it are ok with it, but some have shyed away.
It is unfotunately the nature of people.
Does not make them bad people, we all have things we handle well, and some we dont.

it's rather easy to do, for you admire their strength and determination, and sometimes their insight on life is an inspiration to behold. i've helped quite a few in my time, in the distant past, and fell in love with three of them, for they were truly angels and heros to me.
alas, they were not in love with me.

all these disabled people comin out of the woodworks

it's not hard, if you're charming and articulate and witty, they never notice your disability
