I can offer a different view on this matter. I AM a disabled person, I have cerebral palsy.
It's...well, it's frustrating. And not just in the sense of, "No girl will ever love me, blah blah blah," I've grown used to those feelings. The deeper, almost more paainful side of it is the attitude of my female friends. I love my female friends, I do, I think they're great, wonderful women, and in all honesty, I could see myself dating any of them, but what's constantly the issue, is that their attitude is always "aww, matt, i love you, you're so wonderful, and some girl will absolutely love you some day!" which is nice, but the underlying theme in everything they say is "but not with me." And i don't mention it to them, but it hurts.
Granted, that is a situation I've put myself in, but right from the start, I'm identified as this really awesome, really smart, cool, sweet and caring friend. and nothing more. And it's sad, because I think I'd make a really awesome boyfriend.

If you could really get to know someone and know that they weren't lying to you, then you would know the world was real. Because you could agree on things, you could compare notes. That must be why people get married or make Art. So they'll be able to really know something and not go insane.
