It's really hard to generalize. Having dated mainly non-disabled women I have to say it depends on the person. If they accept you as you are fine. The last lady before Cylinda claimed she loved me inside but thought I would tie her down, she wanted more than I could give. Cylinda is mildly disabled due to three strokes, but she loves and accepts me as I am.

Hi all, I realize what I am about to ask is off-topic & very un-PC, but I still think its worthy of discussion. I have been trying to date after a ten year marriage, and am curious about whether, as a woman who uses a cane due to CP, I should really expect to date nondisabled men? I haven't had such great experiences up to now. I think than somehow women are more accepting of a man with "flaws" of any sort, but that, in general, men want more especially when it comes to physical appearence. My ex is more effected by his disability than I, although mine is more visible. I don't want to be a caretaker again. I just wonder if I'm wasting my time trying to date nondisabled men. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
