Title: Re: [QUAD-L] Frustration/sensitive
I live in Maryland.  I wish maybe I had the spark you do, but I talk with anyone and everyone.  I'm the one that people have to pull away when they are ready to leave because I am talking.  I think that I am an attractive person, have a great sense of humor and even joke with others about my chair to make it seem like not a big deal.  It's usually in light of things not being a big deal.  I joke about getting the good spots, I always have a seat when a place is full, etc.  I don't know why it is the way it is.  I wish I knew.

Stacy,
I don�t know how each situation is. And maybe it is a little bit easier 4 me 2 get a woman. But until I get over my insecurities I�ll not be able 2 keep 1 :) Tony is DA MAN with women :) Maybe he can give us all pointers :) I have a gift of GAB so maybe my conversation and (fake) ever so happy, always in a great mood attitude gets me in there. :) Stacy where do you live again?

Well Houston,  I guess you are just different than some of us and women are drawn to you, however it's not that way with me and I am sure others here can tell you the same.  I have said it so many times, but I'll say it again.  I think I am fairly attractive.  I am very outgoing (just as much as before).  I do not let others see me sweat or worry about my disability.  I initiate conversations.  I smile at people and have a positive outlook.  I have everything to offer someone as long as it doesn't include material things.  I know this about myself, however it seems that men don't like girls in chairs because I used to get hit on all the time and I don't look any different aside from being in a chair.  I�m glad that you can still get women, but that's you and you are a rare case it seems after talking to others on the list.

Stacy,
I�m not thinking that it�s really that  difficult 2 find a person that�ll be there in a meaningful relationship. I  have some problems but some of them it�s more me than them. So don�t think  that I�m going against anything I�ve said. But I know that a big part of not  having someone is my doing... It could also be others now sometimez we have 2  step back (ROLL BACK) and look at ourselves in the mirror. Would I want 2 be  with me if the circumstances were reversed?

Your right  in the aspect of everyday life.  Of course I know that.  The  statement was related to relationships.  Para's are still seen as  paralyzed.  In the aspect of getting looked at as a sexual being is  just as hard for para's to face.  To the opposite sex paralyzed is  paralyzed.

That  statement shouldn't hurt anyone. It's true... Paras  have it easier  than quads. Just like a C5 like me has it easier than a C4. The  more  moement you have, the more you can do for yourself. If it's not a fact,   than show me someone who would volunteer to break their spine a few  levels   higher.
