What do you think about interabled relationships?

[Lucian_Hodoboc]

"Interabled" is a rather recent term that has been created to define romantic relationships between two people in which one of them has disabilities and the other does not. In an attempt to break down the stigma surrounding such relationships, people such as Shane Burcaw, Cole Syndor and Ben Mattlin have been writing on social media and blogs, and making online videos together with their significant others, documenting their everyday lives and addressing the fact that people's preconceived opinions about dating while being physically disabled have to change.

What is your opinion about interabled relationships? Would you ever consider dating / having a romantic partner who had physical disabilities, provided that they had a great personality?

Yes, I would be fine with dating a disabled person

No, I would not want to date a disabled person

I would date a person based on the person not based on their disability so I can’t answer the question properly.

You need to fall for the person first and then decide.

I myself and not without issues so one could say and ask would you date her. I don’t like to be judged so fuck I don’t judge others.

I am me. They are them. We date who we like, love and fall for mentally I see beyond physically these days because life and love is so much more than what someone looks like.

I want to be treated well, respected, cared for, loved, wanted, protected, etc and none of that comes with how I look or how they look!

I have learning disabilities. It wouldn't change what I am attracted to. Most of my past guy. all had learning disabilities. That people can't see from the nakaed eye. There could be mid or sevure. Everyone is different. My learning disabilities is 18p.

Well i dont really know if i can be in long term relationship with them but i do have a soft spot for them and i have been with couple of disabled persons for their pleasure reasons

[MrKinktastic]

Depends on the disability, physical would be no problem and minor mental stuff could be manageable but it really depends more on how they are day to day. People with bad anxiety set mine off so that rules a lot of the mental disabilities out.

I would totally date a disabled woman, but I don't think the term should have been added. Do we really have that many people who see things stigmatized that we need new words for everything and everyone?

[Lucian_Hodoboc]

Yes, there are a lot of people who perpetuate this stigma. Try making an account on a dating website and mention in your profile about any disability you may have, and you will see how little matches you get, if any at all.

[ChiPaPa]

I already didn't have any matches with no disabilities, so I wouldn't see any difference at all in my case.

If I were disabled myself then sure but I don't see why I should lower my standards. My opinion is not going to change. This is just like fat movement. Fat women wanting to break down preconceived notions and want men to date them. But it doesn't work. Most men don't want fat women.

[tertater]

Feel free to date them, but I'm no fan of people passing on genes that are inherently bad. Makes me bummed that I will probably not have a child so I dont risk passing on them being born with an a. v. m.

[Lola591]

I think you like / love people for who they are not their disability.

[Kurodo]

If i happen to be in love with someone who's disabled so be it

[DeviloftheValleys]

I don't care what doesn't work on my partner. Ire they a good person? Are they attractive?

[-Asca-]

It obviously depends, since "disabled" can mean a million different things.

[ivanhunterjo]

i have dated people with disabilities and would do so again
