Ruby Slippers Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 I agree with half of what you said but then you suggest that I focus my attention on girls that are also disabled. While your point is logical, would you use that same logic for black people, Jewish people or any other group of people? If they'd had trouble dating outside their own ethnic group, and had experienced strong discrimination because of their ethnicity, yes, I would suggest dating within their own ethnic group. In fact, a black man posted a while back about having trouble dating outside his race. If memory serves, he himself had a bias against black women -- and then was surprised that anyone would have a bias against him! I advised him to date black women and see how that went. Most non-disabled women are going to judge you. Even if they don't judge, they will find it hard to sustain a relationship because other people will judge them for dating a disabled person. Most people have a very strong need to belong and be liked, and dating outside one's group of any kind threatens that. Most people don't have the strength and character to do it. It's just animal nature.
