I just read this on reddit. I felt like it would be an interesting topic of discussion here:
Is it socially acceptable to date a retarded woman? : reddit.com
Quote:
There is a woman who lives on the same floor as me that is mentally handicapped yet super hot (you have no clue she is retarded just by looking at her). She isn't Down syndrome level but she is about 5-10 iq points below Forrest Gump. We get along well and she seems to like me, she always compliments my clothes and I always say how pretty she is which makes her blush and let out a hearty retard laugh that makes me feel warm inside (as well as incredibly turned on).
While I will admit that Retarded is up there with midget on my dream fetish list I do genuinely like her as a person, while I could probably manipulate (not force) her into a one night stand with some coaxing, Id really like to do this the old fashioned way, take her out on dates, meet her parents etc. I just don't want to seem like some sort of sick creep that is trying to take advantage of her. (I know my ex would have a field day with this). I know there will always be people that don't approve, I just want to know if this is something that is universally frowned upon, they seem to always date their own kind. I guess we good always move and I could tell people she is my wife who suffered a brain injury and people would admire me for staying with her and caring for her, but that is a worst case scenario.
How would you react if you met a normal guy dating a retarded chick?

While most comments tell this guy to steer clear, I am thinking otherwise. If he is genuinely looking to make his case to sleep with the girl, he needs to put in the work to ensure that she knows what she's getting into and agrees to it. Who am I to judge if a mentally retarded individual knows or doesn't know about sex? It is the internet's knee-jerk reaction to distrust the intentions of someone who asks questions like these, but if this guy has the initiative to question his ethics and hold them up against an community's opinion, he can't be all that bad. Or he could be a troll.
