Would you date someone in a wheelchair?
 
Hmmmm?

I could, probably due to my upbringing being around people with disabilities anyway and I'm just weirdlol but if they look good and are a nice person then hells yeah.

Can you see past the chair or am I the only one?

joeysteele 19-05-2011 10:22 AM

Yes, no hesitation.

Niamh. 19-05-2011 10:24 AM

Probably if I was attracted to them but tbh I haven't been around many people who are in wheel chairs

CharlieO 19-05-2011 10:25 AM

If they had the same qualities that would draw me to a person with no disabilities then it wouldn't make a difference.

:laugh:

Nah, but seriously, I could definitely see past the wheelchair. As long as somebody can make me laugh and washes regularly, it doesn't matter one bit about a disability

Suze 19-05-2011 11:13 AM

How you relate to the person should matter, not the disability.

Beastie 19-05-2011 11:19 AM

Yeah. Look at Artie from Glee. He's well fit!

Stu 19-05-2011 11:21 AM

Honestly no. I don't think I would be able to look past it.

Judas 19-05-2011 11:39 AM

I would like to say yes, but sadly no. I don't think I would feel there could be so much emotional contact, for some reason I think I would see them in a emotional sense as sterile? I know how rude, and wrong, that sounds but I think it's just because the only person I've ever met in a wheelchair was really boring and closed-book, so it's kind of associated in my mind. Unless of course I was with, and in love with them before they entered the wheelchair.

Claymores 19-05-2011 11:44 AM

One of our FMs is in a wheelchair - she is lovely person and I'd marry her in a second if not already taken :bawling:

I have one testicle gone and prone to cancer - should I have a badge and you start a thread about me?

"Would you date a bloke with only 1 bollock?"

How low or unthoughtful can TiBB become?????? Bring back Stace - at least she did it naiively instead of rude

Well screw the fact that I grew up around people with disabilities, and to add my father also had testicular cancer and had one removed, so don't even try opening that kind of can of worms.

I don't see how it's rude, I think you're just trying to create a reaction. Good luck with that.

Why though? You can't judge every person in a wheel chair from 1 person you knew, that's crazy!

Crimson Dynamo 19-05-2011 01:16 PM

no i would not

Tom4784 19-05-2011 01:19 PM

Yes, I don't think it'd bother me in the slightest.

Ninastar 19-05-2011 01:19 PM

Honestly, I wouldn't. I would feel too guilty. Even though it has nothing to do with me they were perfectly happy even though they were in a wheelchair i would feel bad for them.

Chuck 19-05-2011 01:41 PM

I feel extremely guilty, awful, horrendous and shallow to say this, but I wouldnt. :sad:

Beso 19-05-2011 01:44 PM

Yes, unless it was that bloke off of the strangeways documentary on monday night.

Shaun 19-05-2011 01:44 PM

important question: can they get it up?

[unless they're female in which case sure]

Chuck 19-05-2011 01:45 PM

I think they can, but the positions would be limited. :sad:

I think it depends where they're paralysed etc some can/some can't

Chuck 19-05-2011 01:54 PM

Omgz, it must feel awful to not able to get it up. :sad:
A man that can't get it up, is a man without dignity. :sad:

Benjamin 19-05-2011 02:02 PM

Honestly I don't think I could. I'm too selfish a lot of the time and I'm hard work, so I wouldn't make their lives any easier.

Any takers?

Ithinkiloveyoutoo 19-05-2011 05:03 PM

Absobloody lutely!! To be honest I may be boy crazy but at the end of the day life is too short to worry about how you would look in public. In the end what matters is someone you can share life, your life and dislikes with. He would still have to have a face i was attracted to of course and as long as they can **** i'm fine :joker: But people in wheelchairs are able to do a lot of things and some of their will power and new found respect and passion for life make you fall in love with them.

Doogle 19-05-2011 05:06 PM

Of course.. Makes no difference to me.

thank you :kiss:

Kerry 19-05-2011 07:46 PM

Yes, I could

GypsyGoth 19-05-2011 08:13 PM

Yep I would, I don't see it making a difference.

Callum 19-05-2011 08:20 PM

I don't think I could, nothing against people who use wheelchairs and I'd be more than happy to become best friends with someone in a wheel chair, just don't think I could date someone in one.

BB_Eye 19-05-2011 08:23 PM

Couldn't say for sure without having experienced it for myself. I wouldn't make me less attracted to them though.

joeysteele 19-05-2011 08:32 PM

I have 2 friends who started going out with each other,after they had been for only 2 weeks, on a trip he dived into the sea and near broke his neck hitting the bottom, he has been left partially paralysed and is in a wheelchair, this happened over 2 years ago now but it has made no difference at all to my other friend and they are planning to marry.

Neither has his being in a wheelchair changed in any way his true friends treatment towards him or even taking notice of his disabilities,all just want his Friendship.
