any hot disabled girls out there?
my mum is gettin married to a wheelchair user. i don't mnd at all i think its kwl to love who ever you want (plus he is a gd guy. alot ov people prefer one type ov relationship to others me personaly at this stage in my life (18 yr old) i only know how to be friends really gd friends and.. well lets say a pleasure giver... most "disabled" people i meet seem to be mostly or only interestd in finding the true lifelong love relationship. dont know the reasons. wether disabled or not some one who wants "true love" would have to really try extremely hard to get me to to drop the open relationship lifestyle i try to have and focus on the pursuit of a (perfectly fine) life long true love. not sure its for me right now, maybe in a couple yrs but atm i would love to meet hot disabled girls the same way i meet able bodied girls without there having to be much difference in the way i treat em. i say treat every one fairly .

Ironically, as someone who has a severe hearing loss, I am unable to understand the audio recording of this program covering disability issues. As someone who has encountered prejudice against disability within the dating arena (I'm also partially sighted and carry a white stick), I would be interested in the experiences of others. Is there a transcript of this program somewhere?

to be honest drinking is the the issue to me, i talk to girls some dont seem bothered im disabled. Luckily newcastle is good for access, apart from where some of the big events are. Really it depends where you go and how you act. I havent had a girl friend but i know i can find somebody.

I met my fiancee, six months after she had become paraplegic (and a wheelchair user) through an accident. At first i was aware of how other people viewed us when we went out - thinking they'd see it as her and her carer but now i don't give a second thought about it. She's independent, determined and driven in her life currently on the verge of winter 2010 paralympic selection for Great Britain. My friends have readily accepted my fiancee and themselves have no issues with her being 'disabled'.

At the end of the day prejudice is out there in everything but there are mature people who understand that such barriers mean nothing, my girlfriend was born with cerebral palsy and i am as you would call it able bodied the realisation thats people should see is who the person is i love my girl for who she is and not what she looks like or suffers from!!!

I actually have been out to night clubs and on websites trying to meet new people. All my girlfriends have been blind so far. I do believe many women cannot see past my disability and to be honest, i do believe many of them would rather not bother. Plus, i do belive for many people who think they're "sexy" or "the bees knees" everything they do has to represent who they believe they are. I can't imagine somehow a sexy girl, dressed to impress on the street, in the club, or wherever else, will wanna be seen walking with some man with a stick, crutches or moving beside her in his wheelchair. Many of my contemporaries if they're really honest would say "it's just not a good look" Sad but true.

I'm 25 and I've got Cerebral Palsy. I've been to many clubs in London, I've been to Magaluuf and Corfu and I've even been to uni in Coventry. I use an electric wheelchair to get around outside and a speaking aid because my speech isn't always clear at first. I've been out with disabled women in the past but never any able-bodied women. I find that most women cannot see past my disability no matter how well I get to know them. I feel that there need more opportunity for people with disabilities meet people both disabled and able-bodied

I've used a disability dating website just see what the scene is like as i have Multiple Sclerosis and am now in a wheelchair. Within a day of signing up, a gorgeous woman with a similar disability had messaged me and the rest is history! We've been going out a year now :)

Having been physically challenged since the age of 19 years, and now 63 years now married for the second time to a very able bodied and understanding women. life is great.i have had some problems in life but the biggest issue is intolerance to disability due to some silly remarks made be less intelligent persons. they are usually hurtful remarkes but it didn't stop me looking.

disability is not a problem for me - if it was not a soap and that girl was free in real life id like to be with her 4 sure
