purposly LOOKING for a broken mate. i think i'll go find me a gimp to
live with the rest of my life... not.
AB's come with garbage just as
much as a quad does. Disability comes in many forms. just because a
guy can crap on his own doesn't make him better than anyone else.
point is; Never settle. You are
worthy of being loved by someone and loving someone in return.

Re: [QUAD-L] Men and Women Quaids
what a silly question.
a quaid person is someone who will need some 'taking care of'
physically, and an AB isn't. why buy a bag of troubles when there are
other choices? i can't even imagine a quaid prefering another quaid
over an AB all other things being equal.
I'm opening a can of worms
here. Disabled individuals fall in love with AB or other disabled
folks. Love is love. I know of people in chairs (definitely not a PC
term) that have fallen in love and have married.) Personally I have
been attracted to athletic, financially stable guys (quads and paras) I
met playing wheelchair tennis. We swapped some spit but due to
distance never pursued anything.
I happened to find a guy by
chance who's AB and it works out for me. he is not my caregiver, as it
is my belief , I think it would add a stressful situation. Some quads
make it work with their lover as their caregiver. I am not one of
those.
I did get my NM magazine
today. If you would like I can mail it to you.
You may want to enable
spellchecker on your emails as it may clarify some wording.

Re: [QUAD-L] Men and Women Quaids
Thank you Lis,
Yes you gave
me the womens point of view with the stories from the new newmobility magazine,Yes, I am a paras. Can I ask you
one more quistion. Is it more easyer to have a AB man?
I'm sorry I'm not quite sure what you are asking?
Body image?
Why there are more AB women with quad guys?
(statistically as there are more male SCI than women?)
Why a quad man would not date a quad women?
Are you including paras?
Many of the quad women I know are involved with AB men
(including myself).
There's an article in the new newmobility magazine @
women with disabilities and body image. I haven't received my copy yet
but the cover pic is on their website

[QUAD-L] Men and Women Quaids
I have been
wondering why Quid men do not see Quid woman the same way as they see a
non disabled woman. In a sexual way or as
a mate. I"m doing a research and don't hold back. I also want the women
view too. How do you abaut yourselfs?

I would venture a guess that as many as not look for things, rather
than people or love. What do you guess the divorce rate is for post
injury disabled marriages? probably close to 0%, maybe!
