Um, er, yes.

(My most recent OKCupid quiz question is "Would you date someone with a noticeable (actually, they say 'noticable') physical disability, such as someone who uses a wheelchair?")

(Actually, my real answer is, "I dunno -- are they smart, hot, and available?")

Most people would - and do - say 'no' to that question.

I've been told everything from "There's just too much inherent emotional investment in dating someone disabled" to "Gee, you'd be hot if your hands worked".

You'd date me?!

She has good taste, huh? ;-)

DATE someone with a physical disability! nah
I would ride 'em hard and put them away wet.
I'd live with them for a couple of decades.
But date them?
nah, I don't think so.

Quite.

With answers also of "what do you mean by date?" and "Which person with a noticeable physical disability?" and maybe even "noticeable to whom?"

Ditto. Though I have to be honest and say that I have so many limitations and so much physical pain that the thought of being with someone else with physical limitations is not very exciting to me. I know, it's fucked up... and I'm sure if I was into somebody, I wouldn't give a damn. In fact I might actually appreciate bieng with someone who "gets it". But I just found out I have two ruptured disks in my back, on top of all the stuff I already had going on, so honestly I'm having trouble imagining ever dating again right now, period :(

Thank you. I'd like to think so. :)

She's not lying or exaggerating. What she has described is exactly what the woman does.
