    I'm disabled and I wish I could find someone who has the same interests as I do. Also, somebody who is kind,loving,gentle, funny and loves animals like I do. I hope to find somebody that will care and love me for who I am. Somebody who really sees me and not just my disabilities. Maybe on day it will happen. I live in the United States and I'm a 50yr old female.

    While it is definitely best to be attracted to a potential partner, you better have a lot more going for you than that. It's clear this guy is both immature and shallow. He needs to mature and grow some if he expects to attract the right partner. Concentrate more on what it is HE has to offer. (right now it's not much of anything from what I can see)

    Patrick: as a Muslim man living with my grandmother is quite degrading and I love women in The niqab I find them attractive piously and also attractive and beauty because women's need cobs are sometimes ironed pressed and beautiful but if I had to date a disabled Muslim woman I would love her without her niqab in the house and with her niqab outside the house but as Shakespeare said and I am sure it is Shakespeare beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that is quite true as much as I as a Muslim like material objects and I still do not let the material things mislead me from the path of Allah but on the contrary I think as a human being's body I would like to say there is no perfect standard to human beings anatomy and capability but I don't know too many women and niqab that are disabled thank you!

    Just because someone has a disability it doesn't mean they have to date someone else with a disability. What if their soulmate happens to not have any mental or physical disabilitiy? I think people with disbilities should not be so limited when looking for love. Yes they need the support from a carer but they should be able to date from a bigger pool of people.

    Dating sites, or any dating outfits, are a complete waste of space. They're ALWAYS FAR too elitist. Even those for the "disabled" are always the same in my experience. Why is it ALWAYS the same standard story, Why are all the other members there always professional classes? Why is there NEVER anyone even remotely like ME who can't even stack shelves or sweep the streets? AND you're always expected to be a complete and total easy-lifer, you're always expected to be a right hyper-hysterical loud mouth extrovert and you're always expected to have a right rip-roaring joyride life and you're always expected to like dogs, and alcohol, and all the rowdy h-ll holes that serve it, and rowdy partying, and nightlife, and restaurants, and you're always expected to like brutal frying HOT sun and frying hot foreign "holiday" resorts, and you're always expected to be well educated and have some fancy top job, and have a car and big FAT salary to match, and be able to live with someone, and marry, and be able to reproduce safely and be a parent etc. the list goes on, and on...Well far too many expect FAR too MUCH! Some of us can't manage ANY of that stuff, why are folk like ME never ever shown in the media?! Why the ENDLESS fanatical prejudice?! Why is there never anyone remotely suitable for me at dating outfits?!

    that is really cool, unfortunately in most places relationships - even close friendships are actively discouraged and prevented, i was in special Olympics 20 years ago,, as well as in the adult social services, and they DO NOT allow relationships they actively would separate people, and would not allow people to form close bonds, i was mis DX'd as DD/MR due to bad evals, i actually have a couple of learning disabilities, ( issues with math,and reading comprehension, and general processing issues ) but i was not tested properly, nor was i ever given proper accommodations, instead i was quickly written off as slow / delayed DD, and ended up in the system, luckily i got out, but i tell ya, after a little over 20 years of not being allowed, or given any access to potential relationships, even when quite a few case workers and helper-aids would ask , ''a re you interested in friendships, or other relationships as in romantic / love '' i said yes, and id love it if they could help me network and meet people'' not a single one of them would... they all said after i answered yes and asked for help, they said things like : oh i really dont know anyone, or i dont have much in ways of friends myself'' thankfully i got out, i even got tested with a visual based test, that is geared for folks who are known to be learning disabled, or its suspected, and i scored over 100, if i remember right it was 102, in all areas was at or a little over 100.
