Would You Enter A Serious Relationship With An Amputee?

No doubt I would.

I'd hate to use the "s" word (you know the one I mean), but it seems that would be the only reason for not wanting to be with someone because of a missing limb.
Please, if you don't mind, explain.

Sorry I meant to reply but I kind of forgot haha.

Well mainly it's because I would probably feel too weirded out to actually get to know them. I really don't like seeing missing limbs, I even get weirded out by three-legged dogs and stuff like that. So I put no because I would find it too hard and distracting to get to know them. No offense to anyone here who may have an amputated limb.

If I was super duper hardcore into anal fisting, I wouldn't date her.

There's no 'if' about it.

I agree. I have no problem with one limb being amputated.

More than one...this is going to sound selfish but I don't really like the idea of having to completely take care of my partner. I'm a pretty independent person and would prefer it if my partner was as well. There's also the whole aesthetic issue...

Then again, I've never been in love, so who knows. I suppose my views could change.

Sorry, I only found this now.

It all depends on what it is thats amputated really, but I'm afraid I'm a bit shallow in that sense. It would be a lot of work, and if it was a major limb, likes legs or something, it would get complicated. I've never actually met a proper amputee, but if I did, maybe my opinion would change. Its nothing personal, but I dont think I'd be able to follow through with a relationship if he was missing his legs. It sounds horrible, I know.

Also, I cant even remember voting No on this thread, but sure.

I'm different, I couldn't do that.

JUST one limb or not, it'd be too... strange.

Do remember that amputees can and often do get prosthetic limbs... So if they're missing one or both legs it doesn't mean they're dependent on you. They can still walk, maybe with a little more effort than someone with all limbs intact...

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.

I would because I make friends based on personality, and I often need to get to know someone before I'd start seeing them and if I fancied an amputee's personality, then I shouldn't see why I can't "date" them.
