Re: [QUAD-L] My theory

[Greg]

Of corse your right. It's much easier for a para who can live alone, take care of themselves, drive on a date, etc. Than for a quad who has their aide drive them on a date, or asking your date to empty your legbag, or transfer you to a bed, or cut up your food, etc. Plus just looks. A para can still look healthy, nice strong chest and arms. etc. Paras can work a bit easier too. That's not saying a quad can't date, but let's be real. More money on average I bet, drive easier, can actually drive and pick up a date, looks. just my thoughts Greg   ----- Original Message ----- From: dillon awe To: quad-list Sent: Monday, February 07, 2005 6:58 PM Subject: [QUAD-L] My theory I have a theory about sexuality and spinal cord injuries.  I believe that the lower the injury level or higher the function is for SCI individuals the more attractive women or men  will be to that person.  Though I hold no grudge against paraplegics or low level quadriplegics, I think it is so much easier to introduce yourself to women and break the ice as well as develop a relationship when that person is not confronted with a bulky electric chair etc..  I might be wrong and I hope I am but does it not just seems paraplegics have it so much easier.  Not only from personal observation but in advice columns I read, magazines and even on the covers of disability magazines, all I see or read about his couples who are paraplegics or low level quadriplegics/higher functioning. I never read about quadriplegics with very little function either through their neck or upper arms getting the girl.   What do you think?  Please prove me wrong   Dillon
