smg15 Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't mind. Actually, if a cute guy showed up with a cast I'd involuntarily like him even more (nurse syndrome? ). So only if the guy is attractive you will accept the immobility? Edited April 26, 2015 by a LoveShack.org Moderator Off-topic content redacted
Author BlackOpsZombieGirl Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) So only if the guy is attractive you will accept the immobility? It's NOT about the guy's 'attractiveness' - it's about that he's INJURED (and helpless) and that he was BRAVE enough to go out on a DATE even though he KNOWS and is very well AWARE OF the fact that he probably doesn't look as dapper in a cast or crutches (or, using a **CANE**!!!!) as he would if he had finished healing FIRST. .

Syberia Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) No, I wouldn't care. I'd like to know ahead of time, just so I wouldn't be surprised, but the key word is "temporary." It doesn't change who the person is at all, and they will heal. If I planned to hook up with them and then leave them, it might turn me off (and get in the way...) but I've never been into that. At the same time, though, I might get it in the back of my mind and feel bad about the fact that I'm dragging them somewhere that might be inconvenient in their current condition. Hmm. When I was out with my wife (second date? third?) I got REALLY sick (throwing up, food poisoning I think) when we went back to her place and it was the cutest thing how she took care of me. She even gave me a stuffed animal (why does a 20 year old woman have these?) and tucked me into her bed lol. Edited April 27, 2015 by Syberia

Blade96 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 If you met someone on an OLD site or IRL who you were attracted to initially and you set up a date with them...and then they showed up to the date using crutches, a cane, a walker or they were in an arm/leg cast or in a wheelchair, would that be a turn off to you? Would you feel disgusted at them because they needed assistance to get around with some sort of device?" Not at all, and as dating device said, if we made plan and then he broke his leg after it was already made, and he felt well enough for it, i'd make sure we meet some place that is very crutch friendly and help him be as comfortable as possible. And make them laugh if you can. That always helps in healing. Edit: Oh I'm sorry. his name is datingdirection, not datingdevice. Sorry. My mistake.
regine_phalange Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 People are talking out of their asses. it's so easy to say in words that it's not an issue but how many actually walk the walk? I've been attracted to someone who had an artificial leg before... He was a runner, and he probably had more stamina and ran faster than I do. And he was really good looking. I wouldn't mind dating him at all. 1
Popsicle Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) I have a friend who broke her foot on two different separate occasions. Didn't stop her from dating at all either time and no one rejected her for it. I think temporary injuries probably make people more attractive, as they are great conversation pieces and create opportunities to help each other. Sadly I don't think I can say the same about permanent injuries. Edited April 27, 2015 by Popsicle
