Date-a-Disability Threshold (30)
Odysseus101: Assume that you have met someone, and you are strongly attracted to that person, and then you find out that they are dealing with some sort of disability, how would you react?
None of us are perfect. Some disabilities are physical, some are psychological. But when it comes to dating, where is your limit? Would you be prepared to date someone with a disability?

There are 2 options I would select on this poll but you are only allowed 1.
For me an addiction is somethin I couldnt cope with, have had experience of this and is not for me.

I think for me dating a woman with male erectile dysfunction would be a MAJOR problem!

I am currently interested in someone that is disabled. We've talked about it extensively and since I work in the medical field I have a pretty good idea of what I'm getting myself into. Hearing Impairment, Partially Blind, wheelchair bound...none of these things would prevent me from being with him if the connection was there.
Alcohol and Drug addiction I wouldn't do. Now if they have taken that first step of admitting they have a problem and are finding help for it then maybe.

No, I think the female version of that is called 'marriage' (promptly dives for cover!)

at full blast. I'd even date someone partially blind as I'm as blind as a bat myself. However, I'd not date anyone with any mental problems/infectious life threatening diseases or addictions....------ This poll is Archived ------

I'm guessing, but I would assume that it would be relatively easy to love someone, if you are already in a committed relationship, and a physical disablility occurs. Much more challenging would be for the person who already has the disability, to initiate a new relationship, where that issue is first and foremost.
druidess6308: And that's a good question, Odysseus. I wonder how many men could date a woman who has had a radical mastectomy...and how many would be able to remain with a woman if she has one after they get together. Today there's reconstructive surgery, but I don't know how things appear afterwards since I've never seen anyone after it. I have seen a woman who had a radical double mastectomy without reconstruction, and I can imagine that would be a challenge for most men to deal with. However, there are a lot of deep men out there who would be able to love a woman for the inside, and not have the outside deter them as well.

When you are strongly attracted to someone and the feelings are mutual, I would assume that you would be able to discuss the disability and determine whether or not to continue the relationship. Disablities are hard but should not be the breaking point of a relationship.

Not always, Odysseus. I know of relationships that fell apart because of the onset of a disability. I had one marriage do this, but not because of the disability...it was how the medications changed him that I couldn't live with any more. The man I married had died...and we were married for years after his back injury. But the last course of painkillers they had him on changed his personality permanently, and I couldn't live with the man he'd become. And the only other woman I know of that he dated afterwards left him when he bruised her...the man I married wouldn't dream of doing that to a woman.
Sometimes it's not the disability, but who the person becomes because of it. And sometimes, it's the fact that someone can't handle being with someone who isn't perfect any more, or they find the changes make them lose attraction, and the love isn't strong enough to withstand this. It's not a judgment, it's just part of life. We're all different, and can handle different things. I don't know if I could date someone in a wheel chair...I spend a lot of time outdoors, have two young large dogs, and a house that has the main floor upstairs, and is not wheel chair accessible. For others, this wouldn't be a problem at all.

What would be hard to handle about your lifestyle, other than how much time you spend taking care of your mother?
And for me, it's the same. Few can handle my lifestyle...it's too healthy for most people.

Marty Robbins Twentieth Century Drifter Lyrics:
Drivin' my race car is my way of making a livin'
My way of puttin' the bread on the table at home
I'm gettin' back about half as much as I'm givin'
And I couldn't make it without a good woman at home
First place could be just a dream
but I'm gonna chase it
Finishing out of the top ten is nothing but bad
And a junker won't ever be first I might as well face it
First class equipment is somethin' a man's got to have
You might even call me a twentieth century drifter
[ Find more Lyrics on ]
Thirty-two weekends I load up the car and I'm gone
And my woman cries with each goodbye kiss that I give her
And she prayes that come Monday morning and I'll be driftin' home
Well my woman sleeps in my arms and I lie here thinkin'
Half awake half asleep I run and re-run the race
From dark end till dawn it goes on my half awake dreamin'
And ever so often I dream of me taking first place
It's got to be more than a dream dreamin' won't make it
Or dreaming won't ever put bread on the table at home
And racing runs deep in my veins and I'll never shake it
I'm tied to it just like I'm tied to the woman at home
You might even call me a twentieth century drifter...

Yes amahlala this is so true but there are people out there that just dont understand that the disabled have live to live to and are trying to make the best of there ways to do so.I have have been disabled in a wheelchair for over 25 yrs now and separated for many many years now simply becacuse the my x wife just didnt understand why i was and how i got disabled.Im very independent and always took control of the medications i have to take and also fully aware if the effects it can have on your boyfriend,girlfriend,wife,or husband friends.All it takes is some education so the they understand that we want to enjoy our lfes to the fullest.But have a positive attitude,and some compassion towards the disabled too.And yes i wish there were more dateing sites for the diasbled to.

Marty was born in Glendale, about 15 minutes from where I live. He was my idol all my racing years, I got to meet him "backstage" when he was playing at the old Sierra Hotel/Casino in Lake Tahoe.
He died just 10 or 11 days after I finally found my chair...

Zellarrone1: I'd date someone with an hearing impairment. I reckon it would be to their advantage to not have to listen to me at full blast.

Being the one with the disability in the relationship I have to say if you think about the disability more than the person you are not going to succeed in the relationship.
