Hi Rayna and Asdis.

It's not just you womem which are having a rough time finding a mate.
Some men with disanbilities are also having a hard time finding mates.
I know I am...I guess I'll remain single for the rest of my life,
because at 49, I'm too old  to get a mate, and too set in my ways.
Marriages takes a lot of give snd take on both  sides, not just on the
women's part..  I found that out in 2002., when I was in  a
ewlationship.  I am still single with no prospects of a marriage.
Being single, as well as being married, does have its rewards, but I
would say being married to the wrong person is a lot worse than being
single.  I use my disability as a screening tool.  If females want to
know me after I tell them I have a disability, I let them, if not  I
just say to myself, "Next!" and move on...Life's too short to waste on
morons.who have "Intellitus," which is hardening of the grey matter;
My $.02.
