Welcome farfaraway! I'm so glad you joined us. I think its great you have been able to meet some wheelers, that's a great start! As for youe question, the dudes I talked to have not heard of devs. I was always the only one who told them about my attraction however most were interested in hearing more. Also keep in mind most dev guys are amazed female devs even exist. I do know what you mean about feeling lonely. Meeting disabled guys is hard and being attractive doesn't make it much easier. I've also felt like being a dev was like being gay in terms of being attracted to a certain type and not the AB type! I dated plenty of good looking AB guys and never felt the right connection with them. Oh and believe me its WAY better once you tell the disabled guy you are a dev!
Oh and um, what is hashtag searching? Can you look for disabled guys on twitter? Wow I'm always learning.

hello everyone! I just wanted to start out by saying how happy I am I'm not alone on this one. I'm only 23 but I've known I was a dev (without the weird name) since I could remember. I've always been very self conscious about it until more recently, II'm trying to just accept it BUT that may be the worst part. I've gone on a few dates with "wheelers" and I was in a relationship with a GREAT guy for about 2 years but it just didnt work, we wanted different things in life at the end of the day (that's a story for later). The worst part is how lonely it is. I do feel comfortable enough to talk about it with friends about it but it still won't find me a guy OR even the chance to get to know one. I don't want this to come off the wrong way but I'm a pretty attractive girl and I constantly have good looking AB guys asking me out but the physical attraction just isn't there. Its like a lesbian going on a date with a dude. That's the only thing I can compare it too. I've never been able to tell any of the wheelers that I'm a dev, the thought of that hurts. I wouldn't want a guy just to be with me because my boobs, ya know? I wish I could feel more comfortable talking with the wheelers I know about this but truth be told I'm afraid of what they will say, even if they aren't surprised. I would like to know if MOST wheelers know about devs? I'm pretty sure my ex did not. I just feel so weird, all the time. Whenever I'm lonely I find myself somehow hashtag searching wheelchair or paraplegic and it kind of just makes me lonelier and feel REALLY creepy but its all I got.. I also think about if I ever will truly find someone I'm compatible with AND attracted to. The chances just seem so thin. With all this mushy gushy stuff having been said I'm pretty thankful for this. First, welcome aboard. You are not alone in feeling extra lonely. I've been on dates and had a "kind of" girlfriend since my last relationship with a dev and it really is not the same. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the dynamic between a dev and a dis guy is something almost magical. I can't explain it and I'm at work now so no time to try but it is definitely worth holding out for. As for most wheelers knowing about devs, I doubt it. If you want to talk about it with a wheeler, you've come to the right place. We're pretty open on here and obviously open to devs.  |

Of course it's not my real name! Honestly I don't feel completely comfortable putting my personal information out here right away.
