Sorry, but no. People who come in and dig up any old random thread just to say “yuuuup,” and “awesome” have no intentions of becoming regulars. Otherwise, why the pointless posts? People who don’t take more than 5 minutes to blast through 10 posts will rarely get a warm welcome here. If someone comes in with no intention on getting to know US, then why should we care if they dont stick around? Isn’t this how society works in general? You can’t just roll into a crowded bar and shout “I AM HERE NOW” and expect people to stop their conversations and give you a big sloppy kiss and start dancing with you as if NOW the party can start. They’d stare at you for half a second and turn their backs and go on ignoring you, and of course a few might tell you to go F yourself. That’s where wonk comes in Lol. I hope he does become a regular user. Maybe provoking him to share a little something and offer a conversation will do just that. We’ve learned more about him since wonk poked him after all.
Who are you to tell me how much to say or not say? if there was a word minimum then it would required. fuck off
Wow, just wow. At first I was feeling you were being picked on for the slam bam intro and fast posts. I usually keep quiet and just let people find there way, but for goodness sake, why does this always seem to end here. Then off in a huff and wondering why no one likes you. Read the old threads, the advice for newbies, and play nice. Try not to be so touchy. Lots of strong personalities on here. Might find this is a pretty cool place. Not making a very good impression so far. Ok, granny is done with the rant.

Fetlife scares the hell out of me. There are so many things that I can never unsee. It would be fine if you didn't need to see every pic of every body part in every splayed position the second you get on there. Too bad you can't just be directed to what you want first. The ads are blasting!

I’m curious about your consistent references to "(dis)ability". Is this particular formatting common? If not, is there something that sparked this practice for you? [ Good question! It’s used by *some* people in Disabilty Studies. When referring to Disabilty as a social construct the parenthesis is not used because it indicates the public opinion/understanding of Disabilty to indicate: lack of ability. However, when referencing a person, I use (dis)ability, which implies both disability/ability. (Dis)abled people are “lacking” something the normative body does not (limbs, eyesight, strength, etc.); however, they still have their own abilities (which in my experience tend to be exceptional in comparison to the AB population). I think it can be summed up: dis)abled implies multiple states of being, not one overruling characteristic to define a person’s life. I hope that made sense!!! Wow, now I feel even older and maybe sorta confused. Lol

On the surface there might be more value placed on certain disabilities... in that... there might be a higher population of devs that are attracted more to a certain disability... BUT.. I think when time passes MOST of it depends on what each individual with a disability brings to the interaction. If a dev enjoys their company.. their wit... their charm.. their intellect... whatever mix that certain individual brings.. THEN they shoot themselves up the "hierarchy" (if you want to call it that). (In my mind) Attraction and desire are this weird mix of a formula.... an equation.... and art... their is an intangible quality of chemistry between two people that breaths life and fills in the variables of this equation. I think at the heart of it.... is how much you value yourself... what you think of what you bring to the equation. I am a big proponent that self love (true self love) is the heart and foundation of all your other relationships... friendships.. family.. loves. Cultivating interests and hobbies that you are truly in love with spark knowledge.... passion.. that is attractive for many out there... friend or otherwise. So... is there a hierarchy here of what tends to be in the most demand... perhaps... but ultimately the most important variable in that equation is you. Yes, indeed, but don't you think this is an issues for everyone, not just pwd's. The tricky part is getting to that self love when maybe not looking like a model or athlete. Not saying we can't all work on our bodies and growth. But...some start out a little higher on the looks, intellect,skills, money, etc dept and have a harder time getting noticed. Have to depend on our personalities and sense of humor. Heaven forbid! Definetely agree can shoot up the hierarchy and shoot right to the bottom if you're a jackass
