Would you date a Disabled person.

[artyboy]

Hey guys, this is a thread I do every couple of years to see what peoples reactions would be.

Anyway here it goes;

Right I'm disabled and have dated quite few guys and my sex life is about the same as any guy my age.

I have a disability that is called becker's muscular dystrophy which is a muscular wasting condition, which means I'm getting weaker year by year and sometimes I have to use a wheelchair. This condition doesn't really stop me, I'm back in work after a long period of time away.

My question is would you date a disabled person?

[JohnMusic]

yes.

[TigerLover]

Of course.

[InbetweenDreams]

Yes.

I think this might have been asked before and I think another important question to ask is would someone stay with their partner if they became disabled or ended up with health problems. I mean at some point we're going to end up as worm food.

I do worry a lot about my own health and ironically I think the worrying is my biggest problem because I think it is keeping me from enjoying things more.

Only if you were a nice guy that I'd want to hang out with to begin with.

I dated a guy a few times who lost part of his leg in the military. He was having major issues with his prosthesis, so often had to use a wheelchair. I don't see him anymore, nothing to do with his disability, he just turned out to be a total dick.

The way I see it, a disability has nothing to do with who you are as a person. If you're a nice guy and we hit it off, why not?

[artyboy]

Just to the people who are not sure they would, please state why you think you cant? Maybe we can help you change your mind?

[Ibex]

If you're a nice guy and we hit it off, why not?

If this, then yes from me too

[knickerbuck]

if he's my type .. then why not? ..

[Dan1980]

Yes I would!
