it would realy depend on the person, and the relationship. I would not rule them out just because they are in a wheelchair. everyone is a person and deserves to be treated as such, not looked down apon or looked at with pity, simply looked at for who and what they are.

Yep.. thats what I was going to say. (Hi Slim wave)

I work with people who have all sorts of disabilities.. So I have a slight advantage of seeing past all that.. all day every day anyway.

I wouldn't rule out dating someone just because of a disability, or being in a wheelchair. If I love the person, then I do...the heart and soul matters much more to me than the physical person. wine

I personally voted no. I honestly have things in my life that are honestly stressful enough both physically & emotionally, that, I can say honestly that would be just a little too much for me to worry about to instantly jump into a relationship like that at this point in my life.

If someone I was in a relationship with however, went through an event in their life that left them in a wheelchair however, I think I would be able to adjust to the lifestyle, I personally however, just couldn't be thrust into one like that.

Hard to really explain in words.

But thats fine thumbs up..
We ALL know (roughly) who and what we want... and how much we already have (or don't) have going on.

It's still fine to think the way you do. You have not said anything about not finding someone with a disability attractive yada yada..

Just that you would see it as more to have to deal with than you already have.

There a loooads of 'types' of people I wouldn't date.

Agree'd, but just kinda makes ya feel small. And yeah I know that it shouldn't matter what other people think, but I dunno being the only that expressed why, just gives you that minor small feeling.

I'll live handshake

Dont be daft.. You are only saying how you feel.. and so you SHOULD.

Whoever you are.. I think as long as your words aren't rude and disrespectful to people.. Then say what the hell you want. thumbs up

hahaa @ comfort.

Anyway.. I was just thinking.. I bet LOADS of people think the same way.. but wouldn't say it.

as i said you should in no way feel any smaller, or belittled, because of what you have said. the reasons for why we feel what we do are our own. I can say that I would look past the disability of a woman, for two reasons, first they have to look past mine, though to look at me you would never know, and second I have, from beeing in hospitals for extended stays, meet some of the most upbeat people that were fighting some of the worst conditions out there. though I have never seen them again, they left an indullable (sp) inpresions in my life, and some of them were 10+ years ago. I still think of them, when things get bad, and say if they can make it, so can I.

Yes, I would date someone in a wheelchair, and if we fell in love, even marry her.

Maybe to help your study, you should have also asked how much contact you have had with people in wheelchairs.

I bet most people who answer yes have friends or family members who are in wheelchairs, but there are exceptions to the rule.

I do have a friend in a wheelchair...he is paraplegic.

Ide date or even marry someone in a wheelchair, But it would depend the person. She would have to be independent, able to exsept her limitaions but yet know theres still things she can do for her self. And at the same time able to exsept help when offerd..
And able to admit when she cant do something and able to ask for help if needed.


And yea your right Mbcasey, My grandfather was in a wheelchair and i went to school with a few peaple in wheelchairs.
