Would a woman date a guy in a wheelchair (65)
Softshell: And if something did happen to you once you were a couple or got married that she would not dump you and run if you did get hurt that bad.
I wouldn't do that to her and could only hope the bond between us was strong enough where as she wouldn't either.
fasterthanthem5: I wouldn't do that to her and could only hope the bond between us was strong enough where as she wouldn't either.
That is what I would need to in any relationship as well a bond like that. We never know what can happen to us or to our mate.
equiya: But someone being in a wheelchair does not mean they cannot take care of themselves. They may have some mobility issues, that's all. Maybe they can do everything else. My colleague who is in a wheelchair even drives a car. he gave me a ride once. I think it will be easier to deal with someone in a wheelchair than someone who has mental issues which you may not easily tell unless they tell you themselves, at least someone in a wheelchair you see the disability.
I went to the gym yesterday someone came there in a wheelchair, he got out of the wheelchair and walked to a machine to use it to exercise. He is in a wheelchair because walking long distances makes him tired too tired.

IF I was seriously involved with someone or dating somebody I CARED FOR AND THEY ENDED UP IN a whhelchair,thats different.
Good point THOUGH.
Nobody in a wheelchair has ever asked me for a date and I haven´t ever come across anybody in a wheelchair when I´m on a night out.
Having said that, I can honestly say if he smiled at me in a special way, I liked his smile, and I was interested in him after speaking a while.....as in any other meeting on a night out..... then of course.

yes, my view too... I would not desert someone if whilst dating an accident occurred...
but the theme here has changed hasn't it???
I would if there was an attraction and I have before...
Softshell: I actually dated a man last month that was well not always in a wheel chair but half the time he was. He had one leg amputated and his prosthesis caused him a lot of problem so yeah big part of the time he was in a wheel chair.
I really liked him but he also turned out to be a big play boy and had too many other females on the side(3)not counting me, well that wasn't for me. I wasn't about to become just another one of his conquest, plus he was on the lookout for more.
So just keep being honest about everything and sooner or later You will run into a nice woman who won't have a problem with it sometime, cause let me tell you all the other ladies I work with wanted to jump my dates bones, Ha ha wheelchair or not..

Jeesh... just goes to show doesn't it... It certainly didn't stop him from figuring out ways to be mr casanova... lol
Looks like the issue isn’t a physical attractiveness, bur responsibility for the disabled person. May I ask, who takes responsibility for this person when he/she is single, ie before he/she met you?
Given that a disabled person has to struggle with the disability AND prejudice, will he/she want (or have time) to take responsibility for you?

So you would prefer dishonesty...
I think honesty is best... if it shows a side of us that is not totally (in your view) squeaky clean and pure...
Well, Jimmy cracked corn
Yes, I would. What attracts me is the man's personality and character.
Today you may be walking one minute and next in a wheelchair. all of us need love and want to give love, being in a wheelchair doesnt mean you are unable to walk, sometime the person need a little help to get better or just cant walk that good so use a wheelchair to get around. It could happen that that person sustained an injury and became confined to a wheel chair but is still a healthy person. How could you stop loving s person because of that?

cant judge a person through one sentence,
some people say good things all the time, but actually, they do nothing, LIARS,
some people say no, but they really respect a disabled person, help them in all ways,... JMHO

Yep, I know someone who uses a wheelchair even though he can walk but has poor balance or equilibrium but can do everything on earth. He does not need to be taken care of, he is healthy. He even cooks more often than me.
singleguy1979: i do not have much luck with dateing
i just wanna hear from you
i just wanna hear from you
If i likke him , and he likes me...the wheelchair its not an issue
Merriweather: Personally, no is my answer
Because.. life is busy and hard enough without taking on extra responsibilites...
Therefore , if there are kinder souls out there... then thats wonderful news... and thats not to say that people dont date others who are in wheelchairs..
We may be kind, considerate and caring to anyone who has the misfortune to be in a wheelchair..but considering dating someone..
sorry, unless you are totally free of other responsibilities.. I think it would be unfair to begin a relationship that you could not continue if later down the track you found it impeded yourself as a person..
Thinking about the consequences of actions taken today that may affect tomorrow is my view...

Personally my opinion has nothing to do with kindness, misfortune, or responsibility - if I fancied the pants off someone, wheels wouldn't alter that.
I'm being entirely bloody egocentric!

I had a colleague and her husband was in the weel chair because he had an accident They were married for 15 yrs and they had 2 kids.
In one day she came to work ,came into office,I saw her sad,with tears in his eyes and I asked her what happened.
She said:"I am tired,he is my husband,I love him,I don't want to leave him, but is too much and sometimes I want to die"
Conclusion;is not easy and simple when in someone's life there is a person with disabilities;so let's face it people with disabilities have special needs.
Some people can say"Yes ,I can date a person in a weel chair",but I think they don't realize that is a big responsibility.

Yes, it is and thats the harsh reality, but what if the tables were turn ?
Help is out there for people with disabilities, special care, support groups, family............it all boils down to the level of commitment or how committed you are and sacrifices you are willing to make for that person, JMO

jac379: Errr...assuming that somebody in a wheel chair is less able to look after themselves and is less likely to look hot than somebody not in a wheel chair?
I'm sorry, mate, but I have greater priorities regarding relationships than whether somebody uses wheels, or not.

Confused all you need to do is look around the news the tabloids what do you see everyone is selfish some to different degrees but we all are did you really need that 2nd plate of chicken or that extra scoop of ice cream do you really need a new car every year. This comes back to personal preference.
watersports: When can I see your wheels Jac
I have no wheels. My mode of transport is a pair of kickin' boots.
Jac xxx
yes, as long as he has the confidence to do so. 
LouiseDreaming: Would a man date a woman in a wheelchair?
Women date men on bar stools as men date women on bar stools also, so why not a chair with wheels' they even have bar stools with wheels...
I dated a guy in a wheelchair for about a year. He was moderately disabled, and there was a good amount of work involved in getting out and about with him. (Someone asked about the beach - I brought James to the beach on the Fourth of July and they had sand wheelchairs there to use free of charge.)
It was a bit of a challenge, but no greater than working around distance, work schedule, or other common issues.
Incidentally, we broke up because of his philandering.
