My mechanic is missing his left hand. Nicest guy in the world and damn good at his profession, but.... it's so hard not to look at it! I feel incredibly awkward around him, so I don't know that I could become involved with someone that was missing a body part. On the other hand, if my boyfriend was in a freak accident and lost a limb it wouldn't bother me a bit, but that's probably because I've known him for two years. With a stranger, though, I couldn't do it. It's not so much that they're less attractive, it's more like I feel so much pity for them that it makes it uncomfortable.
