I really wouldn't mind. The disability is just a part of the person. It's just as important as any other character trait they have.
Yes, I'd date a woman with a disability
yes, why would i not?
I agree with you
what if it was a mental disability? (eg mild autism which isn’t obvious at all, slight down syndrome, bipolar etc)
@lemonsaresosour If I genuinely loved them, I don't think mental disabilities would matter
hm that’s true i agree with you!
@LilytheHorcrux
@lemonsaresosour don't compare autism to down syndrome
down syndrome people are embarrassing and complete failures
I would
you would date an autistic man
seriously
yeah but other jerks can get dates
they're not though
I'd rather it be genuine and real
I'd rather be the genuine boyfriend to her

It really depends on what her disability is. I like doing a lot of outdoor activities and traveling, and that is difficult with some disabilities.
I talked to a 35 year old woman earlier this year when I was looking for a girlfriend who had some medical issues and it was abundantly clear that she would not be able to go hiking or do travel that involved a significant amount of walking, so I knew it wouldn't work (I'm not the Kind of guy who can sit on a couch and play games all day).
Here's an exception: if a girlfriend became disabled after I started dating her, I would not leave her because of the disability because that would be messed up.
u Every woman I ever dated had a disability, and none of then were physical! But. . . I suspect that many girls would say that every guy they ever dated was disabled, but not physically disabled.
All of us have disabilities, flaws, failures shortcomings etc. A good relationship is one on which you love your partner so much that you are willing to tolerate and live with their flaws, and they feel the same way about you.
I mean it really depends on what it is? I really have to be put into that situation I guess. I think that as long as they're similar to me mentally and we can hold a conversation then I really wouldn't care what it is that they have and I would try to help them in any way possible so that we can have a happy and healthy relationship. When it comes to physical disabilities, I don't think that's much of a problem as long as they have an amazing personality and they're a good person because I think that's so much more important than looks or any disability.
My answer is going to match 99% of the respondents: "depends on the disability". What else did you expect?
I'll attempt to give my response a bit more value though...
As long as the disability meets the following standards, it is not a deal-breaker:
- is non-terminal
- does not interfere with communication
- does not interfere with having sex
- does not negatively impact appearance
- does not cause chronic behavior that would negatively impact the relationship (such as clinical depression, bipolarity, autism, etc.)
how would autism negatively affect a relationship,
I mean they have ugly faces but how would it still harm it?
@JellyDonutguy96 Sorry, I should've specified: *severe* autism. In the context of a romantic relationship, autistic people--by definition--are ill-equipped to express their emotions (which is obviously very important). If its manifestation was mild, I could perhaps tolerate it, but I would rather avoid unnecessary responsibility. Also, as far as I know, autism has no effect on physical appearance, so I don't know where you got that idea.
what about high functioning autism though,
does it have the same ill effect
@JellyDonutguy96 High functioning is what I meant by "severe", so yes, it has the effect I was referring to.
that's not severe though
people who are high functioning can be in relationships and can learn to express themselves emotionally
learn the difference
www.verywellhealth.com/high-and-low-functioning-autism-260599
so basically they're going to unloved because normal people want to discriminate?
@JellyDonutguy96 Look, like I said, I don't care what the disability is as long as the behavior doesn't interfere with the relationship. If you claim that high-functioning autism doesn't do so, then fine. I only included examples to give people an idea of what I meant.
yeah I understand man
people with down syndrome clog up the support networks
I hate those with down syndrome if anything
Definitely depends. I mean, this hits home because I have a disability, Epilepsy. So, I hope nobody is saying no to something like that because that is ridiculous. With my disability I’m not confined or restrained, sure I have some extra obstacles but other than that I’m peachy. But, I wouldn’t date somebody who is special needs or something.
why not you're just like them
what kind of normal guy is going to want someone who's epileptic
you are special needs though
I dated a guy in a wheelchair... It was pretty normal, i mean we couldnt go anywhere but besides that it was normal love
Thanks! But is not big deal... He was like any other guy. Actually better cause he was sweet and mature
Oh no... We were serious but we broke up long ago
Sure... I had to move to Spain so we lost touch
Yeah... We tried long distance relationship but it does not work at all
Totally
It ends with someone cheating
Jajajaja! Nope... I cheated on him. It was my fault
He didn't tho jajajaja!
Why where u rude to her?
Yeah... I know the feeling
Thats the problem with LDR
Omg! Thats a lot of drama... It sounds like a movie or something
Poor girl! Well im sorry for her and you too... Sounds like a very complicate matter
Anytime... I Like to talk!
Sure!
Yes of course. I actually met a guy a few months ago who was quadreplegic and I was very attracted to him. Heart of pure gold, incredibly intelligent and handsome :)
Depends on the Disability. Confined to a wheelchair, no I wouldn't date a man confined to a wheelchair. Nor would I date someone who already has an Illness that will get progressively worse to debilitating them.
If my boyfriend became disabled I would never ever leave him...
I have before but wouldn't do it again. They didn't get hit on much so were insecure about not being good enough; needed constant reassurance that I liked them so their neediness got annoying and I ended it after 2 months.
As much as I truly want to say yes, I have to be honest and say it depends on the disability.
Luckily my disability goes only as far as one-sided deafness so I feel it doesn't affect me in the dating world.
Probably yes, but it depends. If they are autistic and I feel like I'm babysitting a five year old all the time probably no but other than that I probably wouldn't mind
not all autists are like that though
and yes those types of autists should be alone
they're just a burden on everyone else
so does autistic mean ugly to you?
Not at all
down syndrome is worse than autism though
I think down syndrome people should be banned from relationships
they're way to happy all the time
I've never really dealt with people who have a disability in which they don't really act like normal people. At most I've dealt with the rare drooling kid at my school. As long as they can function with a clear head and can be understood clearly and they could understand me, I wouldn't have any problems dating someone who had a disability
you don't want to they're fucking embarrassing and smell like crap
why put him through school if he's a drooler
he's obviously is going to make nothing out of his life
If I was single of course they're no different than anyone else. Unless they csnt use their dick or a dildo i need dick.
Depends on the disability. Physical, yes. Mental , no
why not mental though
they're people who want love also
but everyone should just deny them because they have a mental disability,
If its minor maybe. But if I'll have to look after them no
some mentally disabled guys can look after themselves
does everyone just assume they're all manchild's
If they're no and can hold a convocation no problem
are you retarded or something?
it's conversation, not convocation
IDC if he can converse he's fine by me
love is an emotion though
but communication fuels it
Exactly
I have before. Would date a women with a disability agin if we hit it off.
I have a disability and use a Walker. Date me. I'm also s cougar.
Sometimes depends.
But straight i would say no.
If my partner becomes disabled then i may not leave her.
there's nothing lovable about them
they can all drool in a group home together
keep the filth confined to their own cage
It depends on the disability and if we would be compatible in life.
Yes he's cute and we have stuff in common
Depends if we were dating while happen we were together I’ll stand by but new woman probably not.
Yes of course I am going to rain my love on them so that they feel alive and strong
.
Depends on the disability.
I'm high functioning and I'll probably never find anyone because of it,
God is basically telling everyone with a disability, sorry bud you're going to be alone
@JellyDonutguy96 I have a learning disability. I don't tell guys about it till I've been dating them a while.
so am I going to be forever alone though?
@JellyDonutguy96 Can you hide it? I can hide mine pretty well.
yeah easily,
I'm an outgoing social person, so that definitely overshadows it
but is it usually a deal breaker, like why would most girls not want someone with a disability,
it seems cold hearted to deny someone those feelings, especially when someone never had those feelings
@JellyDonutguy96 don't tell the person till you've been dating them a while. I don't.
but why would they just flee?,
does that mean they think about the stereotypes and just picture you as one of those kids
@JellyDonutguy96 I don't know. No guy has ever left me when I told him I was disabled.
I'll never tell anyone I date or marry ever
it's not a big issue though
it can remain hidden
@JellyDonutguy96 then you'll be fine.
wunderbare
would you say I have any attractive qualities if you could?
just a question nothing serious
@JellyDonutguy96 I hardly know you.
just based on what I say on here is what I meant?
@JellyDonutguy96 Um, you seem nice enough. You've said some nice things on several of my questions. Not sure what you want me to say.
ok that's good
thanks
Probably. What disability?
Yes.
Depends on the disability.
Depends on the disability.

Sure, why not.
Be more specific
