-starts would you date a guy with only 1 bollock thread-

[Crimson Dynamo]

no i would not

[Tom4784]

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

[Ninastar]

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]

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

[Beso]

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

thank you

[Kerry]

Yes, I could

[Suze]

This thread is a bit of an eye opener, as some of the posts suprise me. I honestly cannot see a problem with dating someone who is wheelchair bound or even with other disabilities. It just would not faze me in the least if I loved them. We would just cope with what ever obstacles we might have to face, as they happened, same as a lot of people do in everyday life in all sorts of situations anyway. I suppose though it is individual choice and at least they are honest replies in the thread even if I can't understand where some are coming from. Each to their own and all that, it is after all their choice.

Good comment,I would have no hesitation in dating someone in a wheelchair,I have friends who are,2 through horrific accidents that left them partially paralysed.One I am very close to and his girfriend has stayed with him and they are one of the happiest couples I have seen (getting married later this year too),many people just don't realise they are 'still' people in those chairs with feelings and hopes and dreams just like the rest of us.

I can understand the people who wouldn't know how to cope with that though, I know people for instance who have massive aversions to visting in Hospital and who have never visited a friend or relative in Hospital, it doesn't mean they don't have feelings or care for them.
Some people I guess would have similar aversions to the disabled and particularly who were wheelchair bound.

The only people I take any exception to would be those who reject wheelchair users because of their own image,they don't want their image to be seen to be brought down in any way so would reject wheelchair bound people,not wanting to be seen with or associated maybe even with them.

This thread has been very enlightening,in good and sad ways as you point out Suze.

important question: can they get it up?

[unless they're female in which case sure]

[Chuck]

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

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

[Chuck]

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

-is a lucky man-

[Benjamin]

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.

this.

[Locke.]

Any takers?

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

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 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]

Of course.. Makes no difference to me.
