Hell ya I would! Then I could get one also and be taught all those neat tricks. Maybe we couldn't go jogging or roller blading, but we could have wheelchair races. In a busy mall. That'd be fun! "Beatcha to (insert store name here). Winner buys for the loser! What're they gonna do -- throw us out?

Being in a wheelchair only prevents you from maybe doing some of the old things you used to do, but what about all the new stuff? Riding a horse or motorcycle is not impossible. Intimacy is not impossible.

A bad attitude disables able-bodied ppl in more ways than you can imagine.

Or for that matter, could you men date a woman in a wheelchair? Open ended question. Time is running, and you're maturity and intelligence is on the clock. My self, I would say, doesn't matter. If she's in a wheelchair, black, white, asian, hispanic, arab, native american, doesn't matter, wow me with your personality. Please tell me that anger is not your fallback emotion. If you're a kinred spirit, I don't really care if you have no limbs, 2 or 4.

You know, I hate to say this but there are probably far more women who wouldn't than would. For some, it's shallowness, for others, fear, and there are probably many more reasons as well, just like there are many women who wouldn't.

As some have said, it's partly sex. Not an easy subject to discuss under the best of circumstances, but how do you tactfully ask, "just in case we get to that point, CAN you?" I mean, really? And others may be afraid of the responsiblity (perceived or real). Maybe they're afraid they'll have to take care of you and the relationship will be more of a nurse/patient than lovers? Some may be afraid of the financial aspect, what if you lost your insurance or whatever? Who will pay for new wheel chairs, modifications to homes/vehicles, stuff like that. With someone you've just met, whether consciously or not, I think these thoughts would cross most people's minds and they would automatically say no, maybe without even articulating their reasons to themselves.

And then there will be some who would be willing to give it shot. Just like anyone, it takes time and patience, eventually you will find the woman/women who are willing to try. I wish you good luck on your journey!

At the risk of being called a shallow b!tch here I will give you honesty...
First if I were to fall in love with a man nothing would stop me from being with him..I don't care if he is purple and has no limbs at all...
As gyspy said sex is an important part of a relationship and I would not want to be in one where that is lacking.
Also I have raised 3 boys for many years alone in every sense of the word. They are grown young men now an I feel now is my time. I put my own needs, dreams and desires on hold to take care of them. I am not so sure if I would want to spend this part of my life having to continue to be a constant caregiver. It has been a huge bag of bricks of my back to have them come to an age where I can do more for me. Selfish..maybe. I have dedicated 25 years to them and now want to put some energy into me..
However, with limited information on your situation this is only a guideline for myself. I am an open minded person and would be open to all possibilities.

Hi Sgt Billy,
If a girl cant see past your disability then she aint worth knowing, at the end of the day its your personality and how sweet of heart you are that attracts a person to another.
Sadly society judges us by how thin/fat capable/incapable white/black straight/gay we are and thats just shallow because there are some great people out there you guys with tunnel vision should look harder.
Good look in your search Billy and if you want to chat please feel free to do so and God bless you. Anna x

I UNDERSTAND MANY PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT BUT I THINK LOVE EVEN INCLUDES THAT SMILE BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW GETTING PUT IN A WHEELCHAIR COULD HAPPEN ANY TIME TO ANYBODY. YOU WOULDNT WANT SOMEONE SAYING I LOVE HER BUT IM NOT GOING TO CARE FOR HER CAUSE SHE IS NOW IN AS CHAIR.happy THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY

Welcome to the sight!


I have dated a man in a wheel chair also a vet so it's not the wheelchair that makes the man it's who he is not how he gets around.

But whether it be size, height, hair color, skin color, etc there are always going to be people who will automatically judge or bias their opinion based of exterior qualities.

Not everyone is like that there are those who see the person for who they are and the other stuff is all just details

Good Luck

:heart: flowerforyou
