Should ones imperfection be the deciding factor on how well you get to know someone, or should it be a deciding factor on how society sees them as a whole?
Well I remind you no 1 is perfect. I think having a brain that can hold an adult and stimulating conversation is more important to me. I use the word imperfection because , that is what my disability is to me. So tell me how You feel about me???? I have cerebral palsy and don't see it as a disability. I'm also the mother of 2 children.
Signed :How can you deal with me???

I work with a lot of people with disabilities. Some wallow in it, some adapt and overcome, some are in complete denial. Those who can adapt are the people one wants to hang out with.

Everyone is different. Some people purposely date amputees. Some like obese people, I think there is someone for everyone, we just have to find them. We all have imperfections.

You trying to tell me I'm aging.

I thank everyone for responding to my topic. Sometimes the people I meet, I think they let it define me. I just want another chance @ life & the pursuit of happiness . I haven't found love but, I'm not giving up either. I've embraced my imperfection. There is so much more to me.


Thanks Everyone! I'm someone to know!!!"

There are a lot of ignorant people in the world. I have scleroderma, and I remember in jr. hi, kids were very mean to me because a portion of my leg is no longer Caucasian like the rest of my body. There is also a situation on it and most people now think I was in a fire, but for awhile people stopped accepting me because they knew me before my condition and after and saw as it grew up my body. It really creeped them out. I find there are people who are kind and genuine and others who aren't so, that's the human race I guess. Good luck.

Ps, when I was younger and it was actively spreading people avoided me like the plague. They thought it was contagious, when it was not, although I tried explaining the condition to them, they didn't care. Oe girl yelled at me because my leg touched her carpet, she was screaming bloody murder and crying as though I had tossed acid in her eyes or poured aids virus into her room. It was terrible. She was not a real friend apparently. Or someone worth knowing.

I ended up crying because I knew I could not "erase" my leg. That was the beginning of my future.

Well, you have so many attributes going for you, that outweigh any imperfections you may have been judged for. We all have imperfections. Its their loss, since you are genuine person.

yes you are, dear. and me and simon and everyone else in mingle..and i like what i'm seeing with you...imperfections ,(do you have one?) and all.

How can people deal with you if they don't know that you exist? You have been a Mingle2 member for two years, and yet you are just now participating in the forums?

Thank you.

Yeah, he has a gap in his teeth, duh. Bt it's okay, many handsome fellas do and a lot of women like them.

She may have been generally speaking not isolated mingle incidents.

We all have so much to be thankful for . I have CEREBRAL. PALSY in my right Leg.The walk is a little funny . But never the less ,I've been there too as a child. At some point you would think being ignorant would stop. But some just carry that trait.I know not all are like this .Some people may judge a book by it's cover, & some judge by the content inside. I would love to be judged from the inside .

Is it just in the right leg? Hemaplegia?

I'm existing now because I want too. For a long time I didn't because my husbands death 4 years ago. I also have. 2 children to think about .I'm in a transitional period for me!!!!

Yes , just in my right leg.

I work with people that have disabilities. They are each special to me in their own way. They have strengths and weeknesses just like all of do.

I once married a jerk off who looked nice and neat on the outside, but his inside was riddled with imperfections, I think have a pic of him, >>>>>> , yep that's him.


I have seen two adults with Down syndrome become a couple, so someone is out there for everyone. Sorry your husband died. It's a big adjustment starting anew.

Walk a little funny? After twenty years of judo, having every ligament, tenon and muscle groups from my hips on down have been torn, I have even been stopped by the police on the street to ask me if I am drunk.

Yes very big adjustment. I @ a better place in my life . My other issue is being lonely. I'm working on that. Sorry for the jerk in your life.
