Name: Peter98362 Sex: Male D.O.B: 08/18/1960 Martial Status: Single Children: None Religion: Christian Occupation: Self Employed Location: Port Angeles WA, USA Photo ID: On file Disability: Arthrogryposis MY OWN WORDS: Im 46 years old, single, and no children. I’m very active in my community, ran for the local city council a few times, lost, but I’m very concern about what goes on in my community especially in civil rights of the disabled. That makes sense since I have a physical disability which confines me in a wheelchair. I enjoy reading a good non-fiction book, my Bible, and watching TV shows, sports, and news. I’m the kind of guy who keeps his promises and commitments, and when ever I commit to a task or job, I do my level best in seeing it through until the task is done. I tolerate a lot of things, but a few things I have no tolerance for such as being lied to, swindled, conned, scammed, and not keeping promises and commitments.  If your just looking for a platonic relationship, then probably I’m not the guy for you, I’m searching for a woman who is open to the possibilities, and who is bold and takes initiative in meeting a guy like me, long distance is okay as long your living in the US, not half around the globe! Disabled, non-disabled, race don’t matter, as long as your friendly and keep your promises and commitments, and not given into drama of ex-boyfriends, or husbands. I tried dating single women with kids before, they never workout, so no children please, I rather have my own kids one day maybe. I’m not interested in robbing the cradle or dating someone who is old enough to be my mother or worse my grandmother! So the ages between 29-47 is ideal. If you’re the kind of woman who takes care of her self physically, and have  self-confidence in your self then contact me, lets get to know each other better.  My email is p_ripley@yahoo.com my webpage: http://www.myspace.com/102533614

Sexuality and Persons with Disabilities The idea that persons with disabilities cannot have a significant social and intimate relationship with someone is still a very pervasive one in our society.  People with disabilities at any age are often portrayed as asexual and incapable of forming meaningful relationships with their peers and those of the opposite sex. This idea is, of course, not true. The need to be social, to be loved, and to show love to someone else does not diminish with disability.  Youth and young adults with disabilities face the same obstacles regarding sexuality and relationship building as those who are not disabled. It is important to realize, though, that having a disability may add more issues for both parents and teens/young adults to think about. (click here for entire article)

How to Meet, Date and "Do It" When You're Disabled by Tamar Love You probably see someone with a physical disability almost every day: the blind man tapping his way across the street, the deaf woman signing to her boyfriend, the wheelchair-bound woman shopping at the grocery store, people on crutches, using walkers or leaning on canes. You may have thought of how hard it would be to live with the disability, getting around, doing errands and working at a fulfilling job. (click here for full story)

Public Attitude Toward Disability A significant aspect of being a wheelchair user is the conspicuous quality of it. People with disabilities are aware of being looked at and set apart as wheelchair users and are often self-conscious about their bodies.
