I've been messing around with OkCupid for fun. I was doing those personality questions, and one asked "If you met someone online and they told you that they were disabled, how would you react?" The options are kind of depressing: I'd make excuses and stop contact. I'd consider them as a friend but not a partner. I'd want to meet them and see how I feel. It would make no difference. they seem like standard answers to me. Maybe that's because the world of online dating has grinded away 98% of my soul. I'm still funny, right? And I wouldn't say online dating is thaat bad. It's annoying af, but I wouldn't advise anyone to stay away from it all together. For reals tho, if you have to confess to someone that you're dis, then whatever shitstorm that person may endure is entirely on them. *returns to obscurity* Happy Holidays peeps.

Yeah, like I've said before, I put it in the first line of my dating profile that I'm disabled. There's no excuse then. Of course, I love how many girls still respond and then realize it and try to back out once they find out. It's kind of why I treat online dating as a joke. I'm not even looking for a relationship anyway, it's more just a social experiment at this point. preach it sister! I still get unsolicited msgs from women from time to time who have no idea that I'm a cripp. it's like, really? I have 8 pics of myself, 5 or 6 of which,are obv crip pics. Not to mention my headline actually reads: WheelchairBoy,dun msgmeetme if ur not cool with it.... Despite this, I still get matched pretty regularly. I'm up to 71 mutual matches atm. and I bet you less than half have msged me back haha. And then finally, there's the girls that just want to be friends. Why did you msg me if you're not into me? I have it stated in my profile like 8 times not to msg me if you're just looking for friends. Don't do me any favors I'll say, don't msg me to be polite I'll say... It legit does 5% good. it's mindblowing stuff man.

I've been thinking that dating sites don't work as well if you're REALLY disabled.

It can't hurt to put yourself out there. What have you got to lose? I'm primarily a quad dev and would love to find more guys on dating sites.

I thought this was a dating website, people don't meet up in person here?

I thought this was a dating website, people don't meet up in person here? The primary function of the website is a community/safe space for Devotees of Disabled men. Disabled men are guests here. Meetings definitely happen though. More info at New Members please read!
