Why? (14)

Is it just me or are there too many people out there who judge a book by its cover?

I have a disability (spina bifida and a below knee amputation) and have been honest about it in my profile - no point in trying to 'hide' it.

Would that put you off or not? Knowing that someone has a disability i mean?

If yes, why would that be? If not, why?

Just curious I guess...

There some people who want to meet prince charming or a princess online.....

well I got news for you they don't exsist!

If people are happy to meet a real person with a real integrity, then they should be content to find happiness alone. People with disabilities dont have problems, but some without do!

Thank you for that Jimi

You're a good guy..

Well yes it is hard to hide a disability but i think that the first thing every one needs to remember is that its a person who has a disability not a disabled person. We should always see the person first and not their disability. There is that special person out there for everyone and you are no different..

I do beleive that most people at one point in time judge only by what they see but it gradually decreases as people become more mature with age and see people for who they really are. I myself cannot and will not judge another person by simply how they look, it just seems wrong to me. I prefer to see the person for whom they really are, weither they have a dissability or not. Reguardless of weither the person in question has a dissability or not dosn't mean that their heart,mind or soul are damaged, they remain intact and if you can see that then looks and whatnot shouldn't matter,it's whats inside that counts.

You really don't know much about marketing... do you?

In the dating arena, you are nothing more than a piece of merchandise... and you have to present yourself in the best possible light in order to attract someone.

Your disability can't possibly be your best attribute, so don't focus the reader's attention on it. If you feel it necessary to mention in your profile that you have a disability, make it a subtle comment... don't drive the point home with a sledgehammer.

Reality is that you have a lot of competition in the singles market and some guys will judge you by your disability, but you're not helping the situation with the way you are highlighting it.

You're inner beauty wont shine through a brick wall.

Hey Nadine
U have a beautfil pic

Its not u there is too many ppl out there who judge a book by its cover.

Its those that don't see the individual person, who has the disability.

my 2cents.....................

Yeh I do feel it necessary to mention it in my profile lol...I don't honestly see a point in hiding it...and why should I, ya know what I mean?

I'm not highlighting it at all, but I sure don't see a reason to hide behind it either - and try and look/act like someone I'm not. I'm not ashamed of it - never have been.

Only posted about it to see what others thought...

And for the record my inner beauty shines thru bullet proof walls, let alone a brick wall lol
