Yep, you should not be told you're ignorant or anything else negative just because you decide not to date someone with a disability. Nor should you be given a hard time for choosing to date someone with a disability.

it would probably depend on whether or not they defined themselves by their disability and how much positiveness they were able to maintain. i doubt i'd be able to date someone who constantly felt sorry for themselves and/or consistently complained about how unfair it all was. I go w/ this one of all the positions put forth, this reply is completely aligned w/ my own thinking! And? Papersmile would know best, as a partner in a relationship w/ a person that faces the most/biggest health challenges of anyone on Mingle that I've read of. Yet!? Quietman remains one of the most cheerful, optimistic, hopeful and full of life posters/people I have EVER encountered. One would never guess of the tremendous, life-threatening hardship and difficulties he faces w/ a smile, had he never told us. He comes off as the MOST able person here! He leads by amazingly positive, shining example, he gives me such inspired hope! Others? You read the pathos and negativity in their posts, and just imagine the pity party one would be forced to endure if sadly partnered to them in RL! We have all met them in RL too ... NO THANX EVER!!! When someone so negatively identifies w/ their disability that it has become their self, and they cradle it between their hands in a golden vessel to present themselves to the world? That person is no longer in the driving seat, they are as if 'possessed' by their illness/dis~ease. The disability is as if their calling card and sacred entity; it is an unworkable abyssmal RUT! How much fun would that be? Not a bit, instead, it would be a constant trail of travail and tribulation, headache and heartache ... a pity party of calamitous proportion unending! Eeeewwwww! Nah, no thanx ... I go w/ Papersmile and repeat that they'd also need to embody kindness and integrity! Edit: ... ![]() |

thank you dancere, for your understanding and kind words. Qman is MY hero too. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh watch it you two ya gonna give that boy a big head............hehehee ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But honestly now what some describe as a Disability to others is only a mere bump in the road. I do admire those that handle life with a positive attitude and don't sit back and whine what life has dealt them. It makes me see that my life is all good and has taught me not to complain because things have not went the way I want them too. At times a Disability will only hold one back that lets it. It amazes me when you talk to those that have major disability's and they always have a smile on their face and a positive attitude about life......... I can't really say I would date someone with disability's or would not unless I was put in that situation first hand. But I would never say those that do or don't are wrong for the way they feel.... ![]() I mean heck would you consider one that is a diabetic has disability's? If so then I guess we are all disable in one sense or another it is called lack of brain cells...... ![]() |

Sometimes just the back breaking load someone carries in the hand they were dealt is a 'disability' in itself ... What matters is the positive attitude and approach! That's why, no matter what one faces, the important factor is to keep a smile on the dial and encourage others ... Living is pretty easily a disability in and of itself! |
