Ive read all your post regarding the quads having harder times getting dates. I agree with this but we all must remem,ber that in the end all of us only want to impress one person from the oppossite sex and make the most of it , possibly a life partner. Just because billy bob para can get 35 more women who really cares, that's 34 more than he needs. Lets fface it once your in a chair for a few years we all arent as shallow as we used to be. But I will tell you guys this funny little story about when I first had my injury in the hospital. I was a new cop at the time dating a female cop in training. I had my accident 8 weeks after I started. My gf stayed by my side for about two months then said she needed to get ready for softball and broke off the relationship and left me in the hospital bed. I cried cussed and beat the walls a little. But nearly a year later I saw her again, she asked me if I was angry. I said no i understand what u did and why you did it.............you were dating a mustang then it turned into a pinto...you dont want a pinto you want a mustang. She just looked at me, then we continued a conversation and went for a bite to eat. The moral to all this is theirs always someone lower on the totem pole than you and always someone higher, it will be what you make it..........at the same time put yourself in the shoes of the walking people , back when you were on your feet would you have dated a chair person quad, para, stroke or any other?We are all in the same club now. Hope I made people think...........

Ron....great post!! I just got home from work, so this will be short, but i've always thought i'm a Corvette engine inside this beat up rusted Corvette body....if the girl ever opens her mind to feel the power of my engine, they fall for me, and for the most part it's true...but if they put the wall up, they will only see the beat up Corvette.
Funny thing, when i was in hospital in TERRIBLE looking shape...i had a lot of nurses/therapists attracted. First girl i had sex with after my accident was a nurse....a respitory therapist used to kiss me (hard sexual kiss) at night. I never understood that attraction, except that maybe i touched a maturnal nerve in them, and it drew them to me...not sure
peace...tony c5c6
