OP hello and welcome

Sadly you are already convinced, so there is no need for anyone to try.

Change your way of thinking and stop putting so much pressure on yourself and others looking for a relationship.

Things have a natural tendency to happen when one least expects it.

Good luck

Recently I met a young lady that had some kind of condition that had put her in a wheelchair. She also had trouble speaking. But, she had an amazingly bright and uplifting personality. She was also quite a flirt. She was more fun than most women I've met. She was great. So, I got her number. We haven't been out yet, but it's only because we haven't had free time at the same time.

You're trouble is you self limiting notions that it does make a difference. Some women will like you and some won't. The ones that don't have their own issues to deal with that have nothing to do with you. Go out and talk to twenty different women this weekend and see what happens.

BTW Steven Hawkins does pretty well from what I hear.

sad but true lostguy, however, no one can take away your confidence nor your dignity unless you allow it.

write those off that are only there for b.s. reasons, become friends with all the rest, trust your instincts and above all have fun and stay positive.

True confidence comes from within. Know that you have everything a woman could ever want or need. Know that you lack nothing. Know that any woman would be LUCKY to be with you.

None of us are perfect. Some men are short, others are bald and some are fat. When you understand that these things matter more to you than they do to many women you won't have any trouble finding a date.

Every site has those. We will investigate and ban them. Please report these scammers though so we can look into them.

I'm sorry this effects you, but trust me....it isn't just you. As the others have said...the confidence is in you and no one can take that away except you.flowerforyou

I would not have a problem with that at all. If people can not see what is on the inside then they are blind.

Wheelchair? what wheelchair? I used to date a guy who broke his back in a bull riding competition. I have no answer as to why people don't want to date a handicap person but I don't try to figure them out. It's their loss if they have an issue with it

It depends on the guy and how he percieves himself. Having worked around Paralyzed Veterans of America for years I can tell you I would date a person who is in a chair without a second thought about it. One of the hottest guys I was ever involved with was a para. The sad fact is some people in chairs don't want to believe they are loved regardless and the headgames are just not worth the aggravation.
