I would add that this is something where we already start to differ quite a bit - on the question how willing/keen we are to date AB guys. I personally have no problem dating AB guys. I find plenty of AB guys attractive, although the physical attraction to attractive PWD is always more intense. But since other factors apart from physical attraction tend to be much more important to me (and my attraction to PWD isn't exclusive), it never occurred to me to limit my dating just to PWD - precisely because the dating pool is so small. (Of course, finding someone within that small dating pool is the jackpot.) Completely agree about often feeling like an outsider and not being too keen to talk about my dating/relationship life because of it. I think that my devness has caused a lot of loneliness and isolation in my life. For me it’s not exclusive one way or the other Dating someone who’s AB is great. But since my interest is not necessarily sexual in nature, it would also be great to have more PWD guys as buddies/friends. Curious to know how many straight guys here are comfortable with gay friends. A bit off topic but just came to mind.

You can count me in as one of those straight guys, bud!

newmn I have gay friends. It's never been a problem to me. I guess I was specifically referring to gay devs.

I don't understand the difference here: I mean, I'm also straight and would have no problem at all with someone in my friends' circle who is gay. What's the difference if the friend in question is gay and a dev or just gay?
For me there is no difference because I am straight.
And a buddy is a buddy.

I date “normal” guys but something about a man in a wheelchair... I don’t understand it, but my mom actually asked me if “they know.” I don’t see my attraction as anything weirder than liking redheads or guys in glasses. Duchenne/ MD/ sma guys are soooo hot to me. I’m not sure why!

Haha! 😉 (Dm me, I’m too new to dm you.)
It’s not sexual. It just is. Anyone else feel like that about their attractions?

@renewedhope2 You have come to the right place. Maybe you can post a short intro in Personals so we can welcome you properly and get to know you.
