Hands? We don't need no stinkin' hands!

Adaptation is the human's greatest tool. Could you date an amputee or congenitally "limb-challenged" person?

one of my dearest friends is a single leg amputee, just above the knee.

I'd date him if I was a girl. He's got a great dispostion in life. His accident was just a comedy of errors, but he still has no ill towards life etc.

I almost always forget that he's an amputee. He's just my friend and he doesn't let any of that stuff stop him from playing sports, walking about town, etc.

I broke my left arm above my elbow nearly 3 years ago in a car accident. I was amazed at how much I depended on that arm. I never realized that I used my left hand to open a twist cap bottle. I couldn't put in my contacts. I couldnt cut my food. I couldn't do anything with my hair.

I also broke my left leg, so I had to use a cane. It's really amazing how dependent we become on our limbs. I didn't really adapt to my short term disability, because I knew that it was just that - short term. So I didn't learn to over come it.

I am so amazed at people that do. They do what they have to do to live their life.

Sure, why not. The lack of a limb doesn't change a person that much. I suppose tho, if they were bitter about the way they lost the limb, their attitude might make them hard to get along with. The only person i know who suffered a loss(left leg) was in a motocycle accident and she has a prosthetic and does very well.

I am with ya Averett. When I shattered my collar bone this past August, the next few weeks I was completely helpless. Well, not completely. It was very difficult just to rise out of bed, do my hair, fix dinner, etc. with one arm. I have much respect for someone without a limb and yes, I could date someone as long as they stil had a positive outlook on life and didn't play the "poor me" role.

first off...
i have to say the first thing that came across my mind when i read the topic is " Bahhdges, we don't need no stinkin bahhdges!" hehehehee
i hope some of you get that one.

i remember this one time, by now-husband broke both of his elbows trying to jump a curb on a scooter...we did everything the same...wink wink...

ok, but seriously, if you love someone for who they are, like lets say you chatted with them on the internet and fell in love with them, who cares what they look like, shape, size, age, one leg, two leg, three, leg....

My father's friend lost his arm in a motorcycle accident. Even with one arm he could still kick my ass at pool.

But that was years ago...And I want my REMATCH!!

There's a guy at the gym who lost a leg below the knee. He has one of those prosthetic legs that looks like a single tube, and ends in a foot with an apparently really great, functions-like-natural ankle joint. He frankly gets around as well as anybody else. He wears shorts, but half the time when I look at him I don't even notice the prosthetic.

I dated a girl that didn't have a left hand, she was born without one. She was a really cool person.

I had a Social Studies Teacher who had burned her hand off in a fire.. I'm not really sure how that worked, but nontheless, she was an extremly cheerful woman.

I'd date an amputee if I liked them, although I'd probaly draw smiley faces on her nubs.
