It would be very difficult for me to date someone who is physically disabled whether they are in a wheel chair or not because all of my activities and hobbies are physical: rock climbing, cycling, hiking, volley ball, Tae Kwon Do, etc. I enjoy having my dating partner take the classes I teach at the gym too. I want my partner to join me in my activities.
I know there are numerous athletes who are physically disabled; therefore, I can’t make an absolute statement until I meet the person. Also, as someone else said, the most important factor is THE PERSON and not chair. I would never date someone out of pity. They should be a person I want to be with regardless of anything else. |

My best friend is paraplegic. He is on another dating site and women won't give him the time of day when they find out he is wheelchair bound. He is very good looking, has a good job, owns his own home and is very self-sufficient. I have had the very same thing happen to me. There have been a few that tried to see past the chair but others tell them they can do better, at least that's what two told me. In that case they caved in to peer pressure. Stereotypes are hard to break, but after 30 years in a chair I keep trying. My life is full just like everyone else and I'd love to share it with someone special. I just have do it sitting down. |

It depends on how much care is needed....the extend of the injury or disability. I have spent the last 27 years raising my boys alone, I have done it all and now they are grown up and I want some time for me. Maybe that comes off selfish, I have earned it.... I was kinda thinking the same thing about myself. I am still raising my children and can't take care of someone else, too. If they are completely self-sufficient then it would be fine. |

Yes!! We could race down a hill on our first date if she is in a wheelchair. The second date would depend on whether we stopped in time to avoid the traffic at the bottom LOL

Everyone needs to be loved and feel loved. I would not be able to judge someone solely based on the fact that they have to love their life with a disability. There is more that meets the eye and true beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

its not the chair but it would be tough for me as i hike all the time shooting pics i have hiked in 12 miles for one shot i love to snowboard sledding skiing and snowshoeing
this would mean either me giving up this or haveing a partner that could never share sunrises from 9800 feet up and for the record ill never give up my activities |
