Why do women seem more empathetic to disabled people but rarely date them?

Because women like to APPEAR to have a good heart. But in actuality they're just as narcissistic as the next person.

It's no different than guys with FAT, UGLY women. A guy may like her in every way, but still find himself physically repulsed by her. I would say this is nobody's fault. But some people are just more shallow than others, even if they don't want to be. And it does no one any good to pretend they're not. You can attempt shame someone for this bit in the end it is what it is. Rather than worry about the women who shun you, it's better to concentrate on the ones that accept you.

There's a huge gap between having empathy for someone and understanding their struggles and wanting to shoulder that burden personally. Empathy promotes understanding and respect. It does not go as far as taking personal responsibility for another person's struggles. See the difference?

because disabled people can at least somewhat be helped and feel comfort with empathy and we should show empathy towards them whenever we can. but you also have to like the person. and disabled people are a minority towards them begin with. you dont have to date somebody to care about them

Disability is neither a deal-breaker or deal-clincher. If I like the person, them being disabled won't stop me from daring them

A lot of women have non-sexual fetish and usually they involve power dynamics. Its non-sexual.

And there is also material instincts not being met: like with career women for example, They don't have a baby, so they want something to treat something like a baby. For example, a dog or car or a maybe a guy they view as weak and depended and needs someone to provide them with care.

Female Chimpanzee will nurture sticks to have something to take care of.

Women bear and raise children. They're naturally empathetic. They're brutal about mate selection though. Everything about them serves the uterus and securing their genetic immortality. Your dealing with something aincent from a cambrian sea.

They want a leader, provider and protector. They don't want to be a baby sitter

Because they want an able-bodied partner as possible physical protection.

You can have empathy towards someone without being attracted to them obviously
