Would you "date" a disabled person

Skyfarm

So would you? there's a few different aspects to the question ,would you have a one-night stand or have you, as for dating would you date a person with a disability

i have an interest as I'm disabled and have been for three years,I'm not quite there to throw fully back in the dating pit,but crossing my mind and in that question i think I'm trying not remember the results of a study when the question was asked and the majority wouldn't as they felt they would be a "nurse" or the sexual side put them off

I'd hate to be thought of as somebody who needed pity or would be a trophy of a person who needed the cred of dating a disabled person.

So over to you AH,would you? have you? i know there's a dating forum ,but I'm asking here as I'm sure it's the perfect place to get that cross section of views that will inform and understand dating disability 2016

My wife would probably have a big say......

Honestly, I don't know.

Depends on the degree of disability. I don't want to be a carer for someone. If they are independent and can take care of themselves I'd be open to it..

'Disabled' is quite a broad description. I can't say if I would or I wouldn't, it would depend on the person and depend on the disability I suppose.

In reality I cant remember what a one night stand is

I went out with a bird for 3 months who told me she was a Nurse in a mental hospital. Turned out she was a patient!


She was one of those that had their own room in the hospital and could generally come and go as she pleased. I found out soon enough though

It depends on the nature and extent of the disability, not to mention the appeal and other good points of the person themselves.

If I don't find a persons character attractive, their disability wouldn't be the primary reason I wouldn't date them. A great person with a minor issue wouldn't be a problem. More than that, I don't know without specifics.

We require you to tell us mooooore!

There are a lot of disabilities, some a lot easier to work through than others. For instance having to use a crutch or having a missing limb would probably not be as big a barrier in the dating world as being blind or deaf. You'd need to be more specific

Met the broad in a nightclub. As normal as could be. Stayed many's a night in her dorm completely none the wiser. Twas only when she started getting a bit freaky that I thought there was summat wrong with her. Then I bumped into a guy I went to school with who happened to work at the hospital and he told me the story. Twas finished at that point anyway.

Well the OP should specify as to how disabled the person is , like do they need a carer ?
If I had no problem communicating with them, sex was possible and they were reasonably mobile and self sufficient then I would date them. And their injury/disability didnt make their body unattractive. So that cuts out a lot of the disabled population, I guess. But I would date somebody who used crutches, or a mental disability like OCD or turrets I think. So I would date some disabled people

Well my friend is deaf and we can communicate fine so I instantly thought that wouldn't be an issue for me, but then I thought it depends on the deaf person's ability to communicate too. A person could have no legs and stay in bed all day or they could be hugely independent and need no assistance. The person could be extremely negative about their disability or just get on with it and it's not an issue. Everybody is different and that's what people will judge a person on rather than their disability alone.

You can't really expect people to list a comprehensive run down of all the disabilities they'd find either no problem, tough to overcome, or out of the question.

If an OP such as this one turns you on so, you have a debauched line of thought Madame.

If they were in a wheelchair no I wouldn't and that's just me being honest. I'm married and if my husband were to end up in a wheelchair then I would stand by him but if it was a first date thing them no because it would put me off.

My ex was fine until she got her new wheelchair. Unfortunately it had a very difficult-to-operate braking mechanism....

She went downhill very quickly after that

I'm going to hell amn't I?

Oh Jesus was there no clues that she might not have worked in the hospital? staff generally don't sleep where they work!

Let's focus on handicapped humans for now

Well I'm conflicted. I mean the standard answer is it depends on the level of disability. But in truth I would find it initially odd I think to date someone missing say their little finger on their left hand. (I am not kinky and there is nothing I need that digit for on my partners hand).

What conflicts is the family history. My mother as a young girl lost a limb, well before she met my father, and it's not something as her child(of now 30+) I've ever noticed in my mother. She has her difficulties and sometimes we can help her, and other times we can't. Which defines everybody, everywhere, since whenever. My father saw through this and their happy and long marriage has provided healthy and happy children and grandchildren. He is a very happy man who feels lucky and grateful for his lot and I know if he had the choice to do things again they would be the same.

I assume if I met the right girl happening to have a disability it would no longer be odd, and from my families experience it aint 'no thing'. Best of luck OP.

All depends mate, I wouldn't look at a disability as something that'd put me off, though I've never gone out with a girl with a disability. But if I genuinely did like the person, I can't see why not. Some people wouldn't be comfortable with it though, and I understand that, but in reality, we're all human beings at the end of the day and to me it's more important what is in the person's head than anything else. I just couldn't go out with someone who is stupid by my definition, that'd drive me crazy. My sister goes out with an amputee and he lost his leg long before they met. It's all down to the person at the end of the day.

Clearlier

Pretty much everyone has some kind of disability. It's just that some are more visible and significant than others. If you define yourself through your disability then you'll find that you have quite a limited pool of potential partners (although there will be some). If on the other hand you are a person with a disability it's a different story.

This is the best thing I've read all week. Thanks.

Ellen Keane is cute

So no id have no issue if i found the girl attractive tbh. Similarly the way i would with an able bodied person

CobraClan

I'm not trying to be funny but one day I was on the bus and a girl got on and she had no arms but she was absolutely stunning looking, at least I thought so anyway! Id of had no problem going out on a date with her if the opportunity had of arisen! She came across as really confident which probably added to her attraction.

I don't think there is anything depraved or shameless about my post. Am I disabled? No. Could I be turned on by a disabled person? Why not? A disabled ride? Absolutely
