You could also do things in the real-world; like volunteering at various places, organizations, animal-shelters, and music festivals. It's an excellent way to meet like-minded individuals :-)

I've met more females on okcupid. Either way, online or in real-time it's work ,so don't be afraid to be yourself and work it!

It's probably best to avoid Tinder. I feel like it's the most superficial of the dating sites (or apps.) You'll waste a lot of valuable time swiping people that you'll never meet or maybe aren't even real. OKCupid and Plenty of Fish are better, though the few I have met from those places were a little batty.

Animal shelters are a great way of meeting a nice German Shepherd...but POF is worse!! I suggest finding a chick from a 3rd world country, give her a wonderful life and a chance at love.

yahhh, no curb cuts, no vans with lifts, no business accessible. I asked one of my lil gfs from Philippines what life is like for guy in chair, and she said they are worthless there...no life! not sure it's THAT bad, but she might be close. I mean it's hard enough in America to find accessible housing, own a vehicle adapted, get around, etc.
lol.;.you still have a ways to go before UK is 3rd world. When u don't have air conditioning, no car, no heat, roof made from palm trees and eat rice everyday, then u might be.

I'm pretty sure any number of us chicks would be up for a final check on a profile blurb if someone felt it would be helpful. I know I would be. I can't tell you how many times guy friends have commented on the fact that they aren't getting decent matches/hits. One look at their profile and you can just see all the good women out there with bitter-beer face! Some of us devs make good wing women. Just sayin'.

Tinder is terrible. Very shallow. And most women don't take it seriously so they have no problem making fun of you. That's been my experience anyways.

I can't analyze it too carefully at the moment but I took a quick look and lots of things made me smile. I think overall its good, witty in a great way and you mention your disability but don't focus on it too much. Thanks for sharing.

The bottom line is how effective are online dating sites for people with disabilities?
Online dating can be hard enough for any guy but when you add a disability to the equation I believe you chances of finding someone interested in dating you massively diminish unfortunately.
Am I completely wrong? Have many of you guys on here had much success and on your profile to you make a point of just mentioning you have a disability or is this something you feel you don’t need to add until a later date? For myself personally speaking my disability is pretty evident from my appearance so this is something I can’t really keep until a later date which I feel has harmed my chances of getting interested matches.

I tinker with it here and there if I think of something clever or interesting to add. This latest incarnation of my profile hasn't been up for very long. I know that I have to make a strong impression through words and make sure that my personality is shown because, let's be honest, the majority of women wouldn't consider me as a dating option, especially at first glance. Still, there are some and they might peruse OKCupid! You ladies of the PD give me hope

I really like your profile! You're funny and super interesting. Very nice. The only thing I wasn't sure about is the "let me touch your butt after the 5th date" part but that might just be me.

I don't think there is any harm is having a profile out there on sites where its free to do so. Lots of devs re out here hoping to find the disabled guy of their dreams. There are also Disabled dating sites. I met my husband on one of those and know of other dev/dis coupes who did the same. Be careful with those......LOTS of fakes/liars/weirdos/creeps. There have been lots of discussions here about online dating profiles and the consensus has always been that it's best to mention (and show) your disability in a profile but not focus solely on it.
