Would you date a disabled person or have you been in a relationship with one?

[Sanser]

Life can be complicated for some people... you can suffer accidents, have degenerative diseases, be born with a problem... Would you be able to have a date or a relationship with someone like that even knowing that life could be more difficult?

Yes

No

It depends

[Miristheiss]

Yes. I would. No, I've never dated anything in that condition.

It really depends on what the disability is as to whether I would have been willing to date them or not. Certain situations would have been too much.

[Sanser]

I suppose nothing like mental but what kind of phisical disabilities wouldn't you mind? Deaf? Blind? Wheelchair? Something even harder?

[Miristheiss]

Deaf and blind, a limp, a prosthetic appendage would probably be doable.
Being paralyzed and no working parts down below and withered legs... etc. I wouldn't date them. If my wife were injured I'd stay but I wouldn't have started a new/fresh relationship with that situation.

[Sanser]

Same... maybe I would feel frustrated in a relation with a deaf because im such a parrot, I talk too much lol. This question came up because I saw a guy who was very handsome in the gym and he had a prosthetic leg. This kind of things I think wouldn't be such a no-no for a lot of people!

[Drumlin2001]

My OH is registered disabled. She has a range of health issues, will probably get worse over time. They way she deals with it is amazing

[Sanser]

Wow she mus be a wholesome person, and how you deal with it? Must be very hard for you too

[jennifer_bloom]

I would date a disabled person that I'm compatible with because I want the guy to need me just as much as I need him. If a guy is smart and rich and good looking, he might not need me or he might try to control me with his superior power in the relationship. I've heard stories of men who date jobless housewives or less attractive wives and then abuse them because they think they have all the power and can call the shots. My dad says all rich men abuse their wives if the wife does not have a job. He also says all rich men cheat on their wives.

[OlderAndWiser]

I have dated several women who I later determined to be suffering from mental handicaps.

[provokeesmokee]

As with mental illness (which I have and manage), I expect them to have accepted and manage their disability.

I am looking for a partner, not a patient.

I've had enough partners with illnesses or neurodivergence which either they refused to or could not manage. Or had preferences which did not match with my needs and we could not find a compromise.

But the disability itself, provided we both had our needs met, I see no issue. I've made many friends with disabilities and I love them.

[DizzyDesii]

When I was like 19, I had a crush on this one guy in a wheelchair that I would've gone all in for. His looks and personality just really outshined the disability. He was just super cool and sweet. He Had a truly amazing heart. Plus he had a custom built car that he could drive and he could play sports and do handstands in his wheelchair. Dude was a beast unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. And he had been paralyzed waist down since childhood

[DizzyDesii]

I have not met anyone else with a physical disability that I could overlook, but I won't say it can't happen

[Sanser]

Wow he looks like a amazing guy! If a person is confident and has an amazing personality he has it all!! I thought about this question because today I saw a guy who was like SO HOT in the gym but had a prosthetic leg and I was like ¿How must be the dating world for someone like that or even worst?

[DizzyDesii]

Omg there's this one D list actor with a prosthetic leg who is sooo handsome to me and he was in this one cringey monster movie but he was so handsome and cool

[abedheadstory]

I have never been in a relationship with someone with a disability, but I would date them. Everyone deserves to be loved regardless of their physical or mental state. I believe it is important to be open to love from all kinds of people, and that includes people with disabilities.

[Adam1978]

No the only way I date a disabled person is if they get disabled in a already committed relationship with me. And if you can live a fully normal life without any help, you aren't disabled enough for this rule to apply to you.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

It’d make me a hypocrite to say no! I love people for who they are not for their lack of disabilities.

[KatherineJ]

If I weren’t married, it would really depend on the connection I had with that person.

[Nikki1989]

I could do it for the right person.

[Sanser]

Love moves the world...

[muscles_glasses]

my boss at work is completely deaf but otherwise an amazing person. I think she likes me and I like her but her disability is hard to overcome

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, both of my ex-girlfriends, were mentally disabled they had mental illness

[molonski2]

Would depend of the classification of disability.

[AngryCarl2]

If it's a minor disability that they manage well, yes I might.

[strateguy632]

did it but not intimacy

[Sanser]

How was it? what kind of disabilty had your partner?

[elizamichale1]

I hav had a few clients who were disabled

[Sanser]

And how was the experience? What kind of disability had them?

[elizamichale1]

Not so bad tbh
Well one of them couldn't move his arms n others couldn't walk

[exitseven]

it depends on what the disability is.

[Sanser]

what would u accept?

[exitseven]

if she had a physical disability it would be okay. If she had severe mental problems , not so much.

[gothbxtch]

yes, i have disabilities myself

[Sanser]

really? what kind? do you find difficult to find a partner?

[gothbxtch]

mainly mental but also hand motor and sensory!! i’m 17 so i don’t have one yet

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Sorry to hear! I’ve disabilities myself. I cannot move my right side well. I’m also autistic and many assume that’s a disability.

[gothbxtch]

@HippieVeganJewslim i’m neurodivergent too (adhd), so i get that!

[HippieVeganJewslim]

That’s a dis-order. Autism is no dis-order!

[Pterodon]

I have

[Sanser]

How was it? what kind of disability had she?

[Pterodon]

We were together for four years and i begged her to marry me. Her legs were paralyzed

[dudeinohio]

It depends. But my fiancée is on disability

[LimitedBenefits101]

Absolutely not.

[Anonymous]

No I wouldn't
