Would you date someone with a physical disability? (77)
Expecting him,to come down on a parashute??
DarkAngel_4Life: Yes depending on his altitude ..... love has no boundaries
Thats when landing down.
deadbutwhy: And what about his latitude??
Depends if you class excessively hairy woman as disabled? Oh, you mean humans? ewe yuk
They are also human being tht god created. they also got flesh, skin, blood like us.... i will sure if she is confident to belive tht the desability is nothing tht cause trouble to her future like,....
deadbutwhy: I think you should only be posting in the grumpy thread today
Yes, I am grumpy....I could be more explicit...you should see me when I drive...the boys say I drive way too fast....but guess what I have never had an accident or a ticket. I have been driving since I was sixteen...used to do a little racing.
Have lived with permanent disabilities for about 30 years, I can tell you women will date, and marry men with disabilities. I believe a great deal of anyones anxieties about those with disabilities is the fact they have believed the lie. Everyone discriminates of what they have heard without ever finding out the truth for themselves. You'd be surprised at just how loving those living with disabilities can be, but you'd also need to accept the truth. They are humans just like you, with all the same feelings, worries, and needs. 
Well its all about attitude for sure. i have been disabled from day one but it took many years before i could accept that for myself. You cant expect other people to accept your disability if you cant.
If people do accept you then they tend to be more genuine than most. People are people, disability or not. But if you are disabled and struggling to fit in take a good look at yourself it might just be your attitude rather than the fact that you have a disability.
A good personality goes a long way for sure.

Juneau: It's crappy!!
It is also called CFDS or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Best to Google it really as it's pretty complicated, and a bit different for everyone. Basically, it leaves me with extremely low energy levels, loads of muscle pain, very bad headaches, lightheadedness, difficulties with levels of concentration, nausea etc. As you can see in my profile, I still get out and about and do things, but I always have to pay for it afterwards.
You can recover from ME, and many people do, so I have my fingers crossed that one day, I will get better and get back to my active lifestyle again

Chronic fatigue is a part of many illnesses that are IMO chemical related and while I agree sometimes temporary, more often permanent damage is the result of continued exposure. With that in mind, drug treatment is yet another chemical exposure that is not taken into consideration by mainstream medicine, and often the reason many don't recover.
In my case, I was exposed to lead... some of which is still in me, so I'm still under exposure to this toxin everyday. In addition as a result of that exposure I am also now profoundly sensitive petroleum that is everywhere and in everything and I deal with all of the symptoms Juneau has described... among others that many people don't see and so don't believe are real.
As difficult as it is, I do try to avoid exposure, but in reality today an impossible task; the best I've been able to do is to avoid the worst exposures and learn how to manage symptoms caused by every day exposures. Seemingly simple everyday things like transportation, shopping and even working around the house have become more difficult. If those things can't be easily done it's certainly going to make things more difficult for anyone involved with me... and
That said, if I weren't as intelligent as I was before I got sick, (I'm sure you will agree Juneau ;-) I'd be living under a bridge right now like so many less fortunate that have no idea why they feel so sick and tired all the time. Beyond that, If you think about it, and it scares me to think sometimes, but homeless shelters and jails are among the most toxic environments for the chemically injured and where do those people go from there... certainly not into a more pristine environment as I've been fortunate enough to set up for myself.

If I fell for someone with a physical disability I would find it endearing as well as it being our challenge.I do not think it is wise to write people off on the basis of them having a disability alone.

However, while some may have empathy, few have the patience to deal with 'other people's' problems on a daily basis... trust me on this, been there, done that and have a closet full of t-shirts.
Some wouldn't have the patience to read what I've written, much less understand that I spent over an hour writing to be clear... actually closer to two when you consider the time to read the thread and consider the profile of the person responding or responded to. Not to mention responding to some of the utter garbage spewed forth in these threads.
Chemical sensitivity effects that part of my brain involved with memory/word finding/word acuity and the like, as well as, the effect of chronic fatigue. So to sit at this keyboard, read, think and write to be clear is a multi-task I am just not able to do most days. Right now my left side hurts and I have a head ache.

"Love is the capacity to take care, to protect, to nourish. If you are not capable of generating that kind of energy toward yourself- if you are not capable of taking care of yourself, of nourishing yourself, of protecting yourself- it is very difficult to take care of another person. In the Buddhist teaching, it's clear that to love oneself is the foundation of the love of other people. Love is a practice. Love is truly a practice." ~Thich Nhat Hanh, Love and Compassion

We are all a bit crazy at times, some more crazy than others...
after living in the Pine City and Mora area, for over 40 years,
there is a small town they found benzine in the water, have you heard of this? I owned property there a couple miles away from there, lived in that spot for close to 20 years, Knew one guy named Jack, he liked spinning nun chucks, always wondered how he kept from smacking himself in the head with them...lol

I am sure you speak the truth jeddah, and I know it comes from your heart. Having lived with diabilities for 30 years, I can tell you that your heart does not live in the majority of Americans. The disabled, the elderly, have been judged, and placed in homes, and areas erected to show how much the American public loves them. While they might want to live, stay intheir own homes, the laws have been written to insure they live so tax dollars go to voters who are being paid for. There is an entire government agency insuring their opportunities are limited to approved housing units, and approved doctors, procedures. The American public has limited the abilities, and opprtunities for the disabled, but they pay their taxes, and feel good about it. night_whispers50: We are all a bit crazy at times, some more crazy than others...

Juneau: Interesting poll - thank you
It is good to read that most of the folks on this poll, anyway, wouldn't exclude someone with a disability. I have found that a suprising amount of really nice people on this site may not have a physical disability, but do suffer with depression and the like. This can be just as debilitating as a physcial illness.
I suffer from ME and migraines and these two things have changed my life completely, but I am still the same life-loving, zany person on the inside!!

Great profile read Juneau. I sent you a msg but it will go in your spam as Im under your age range as it was a great read and just wanted to say that.
For me its what is on the inside that counts. The soul. You fall for who they are not what they are.
Unfortunetly people do judge on dating scene and if they get to know that person there opinions alter radically it is just that first hurdle for some. I have made alot of disabled friends over time on internet and every single one is caring and compasionate :)
Myself I always want to know the person if I find them intresting or attractive and a persons profile what mentions something like that makes 0% difference.

Ohhhhhh, I couldn't figure out how come your message went into my Filterbox
Well, you learn something every day! 
Juneau: Ohhhhhh, I couldn't figure out how come your message went into my Filterbox Well, you learn something every day!
Good question ......but I need to ask who if any of us is perfect.....I am a long way from that, so with that thought I will say it's the person that counts and what you want from the date it may just be as friends or more but that is as always up to the individual.....JMO
