    Yes! I find it for some reason cute...maybe because I have a sadistic side. I don't know, I just think it's more cuddly if the person's a paraplegic!

    Yes, I don't date people for physical reasons. So long as there is that mental connection I'd find them attractive no matter what.

    I would need them to be mobile, because I'm very active and like to go hiking and camping. I don't think I could date someone who couldn't share those things with me.

    I would give them consideration just as I would consider anyone else who wanted to go on a date with me.

    If I found them attractive and could see things going somewhere, sure I would give them a chance like anyone else.

    It depends. I am active and would want my partner to be as well. If wheelchair bound, I think I might have a hard time. However, one of my friends was in a relationship with a woman who has cerebral palsy. I would have totally dated her.

    My vote was "not sure."

    that's a little vague. I'd date someone with ingrown toenails, but i wouldn't date someone unable to move, talk or communicate meaningfully.
