    Could and would you love someone with a physical disability, such as an amputee or a parapalegic?

    Yes. I just want to be loved for who I am and I assume that someone with a physical disability would just want the same.

    Absolutely. I once dated someone who had mild cerebral palsy and mostly used a wheelchair to get around. It was never an issue for me at all.

    I would love them extra so they knew they weren't disabled in my eyes!

    Yes, I could. I don't think I'd have a problem with it at all

    It would make life a bit difficult sometimes, but no way is that a barrier to love.

    Obviously I could love someone, but would I start a relationship.. I think that would depend on what kind of physical disability it was. If someone is paralyzed from the waist down, I honestly doubt if I could be with that person. Not trying to insult or hurt anyone, just being honest.
    Other than that, though, I can't think of any disabilities that would be a dealbreaker.

    *Oh and if for whatever reason my boyfriend would be paralyzed from the waist down, there's no way I'd leave him because of that.
    So it's more like I'd avoid falling in love with someone who had a disability like that.

    I know if I were wounded or crippled that I would want someone to love me. I couldn't imagine being with someone and having a life-changing accident and your spouse leaving you. v_v I'm sure it has happened before...

    i really do not know. I think I probably take Justin's view:

    But it would really depend on the person, and their disability.

    I think this pretty much sums up where I stand.

    I'm pretty sure I could.

    I agree with you.

    Romantically? No (See: orientation).

    As a friend or any other relation? Sure. Lack of limbs don't make an unlovable person. I'd have no problem with that (that I'm aware of). Besides, it's the personality that really counts.

    I'd have to be honest with them, I've never been with a disabled person before so there would have to be a learning curve in regards to some things. Beyond that though, I don't see why it wouldn't work out, everyone deserves a chance, you know?

    I don't see why not. A person with a disability deserves as much love as anyone else. True love knows no bounds. Of course, I have Cerebral Palsy myself, so to give the opposite answer would be absolutely hypocritical of myself. But my answer still stands regardless of the situation.

    Sure! If we had an emotional connect, no reason why not.
