I am glad someone understands.

It is one thing to stop by the pub to "have one with the boys" and socialize.

It is quite another to "have one too many" and make a nuisance of one's self.

Some of Jamesy's posts seem to have implied more of the latter than the former.

You like to insult me don't you fnord?

How is it insulting to point out what you have already stated about yourself?

There are a lot of reasons (other than shortness or red hair) why a person may be "invisible" in clubs: Chavish behaviour, for one. Uncomplimentary rumours, for another. You also seem to fixate on physical appearance more often than not.

I apologize for offending you.

If you're under 10mm in height then you would be very difficult to see.

It matters as much about social status as it does about looks when attracting women. If you are unemployed and live with your parents, then you may have less luck than you would living independently and having a job. Women will judge you for those things, no doubt.

Edit: I realise this post is more of a related note rather than a direct response to the thread title.

Certainly not all women.

Lots of people can't work because of a disability or other reasons and still have partners.

True, there are women who would date other disabled dudes. It's relatively uncommon though in my experience. Though admittedly I don't know anything about the statistics concerning the matter, if there are any.

I don't think it's as uncommon as many people would think.

All of the dates I have had in the past have been with disabled women. But disabled women are only a fraction of the total populace is what I was thinking.

Disabled men/women together, sure.

I'm not so sure about non-disabled women and disabled men, however. :skull:

Why not?

Can't a nondisabled woman and a disabled man fall in love?

I don't see why not.

Well, probably due to discrimination.

The same way non-disabled men might discriminate against disabled women, I suppose.

I'm not saying it is an impossible scenario.

Alright.

Point taken.
