Beauty is only skin deep

When I met my Hubby we talked so much we knew practically every thing about each other. Two years later he hurt his back and became disabled. He's since been diagnosed with Degenertive Disc Disease (his bones are being eaten away) and he has trouble standing and walking. I still love him as much as I did when we first met. It's what's inside that matters after all beauty and youth fade...in everyone. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I don't care about his physical apperance and his look, as long as we love each other, trust and care, I will go and fight my love!

I would have no problem with dating or marrying somebody with one limb, no limbs, no sight, no hearing or in a wheelchair. I grew up knowing beauty is only skin deep. I lost my hearing for several weeks after an accident and my husband didn't leave me. We managed and if the situation was reversed the results would have been the same. I will admit it did make certain activities a lot harder. My husband was on crutches for many months after a knee injury and I'll be the first to say it wasn't easy, but we managed to survive without harming each other. Next time I will send my husband to a friends house and watch her twins, as the twins are easier than my husband on crutches.

Hi Winterose. This is a good question as intially I suppose we can be attracted by looks even if we know that beauty is skin deep. I have in fact dated a man in the past with only one leg when I was a lot younger and I remember one night when we were walking home from the pub after a few drinks saying to him 'wow you are doing better there with your one leg than I'm doing here with my two' he loved that as he didn't want people fussing around him as he had lost in an accident. I was also asked for my number by a guy a few years ago and I gave to him to arrange a date and I remember my friend saying he has a gammy leg though, I said so he is lovely and I actually did in fact think he had a false leg, but after we met up I discovered he just couldn't bend it due to a motocycle accident and I would still be with him to this day if it were my choice. Lovely lovely man. Ellie:D

My partner had poliomyelitis and his left upper limp and both his legs are badly affected. He cannot walk but he is perfectly alright. Actually we already have two daughters. For me beauty fades but never the inner beauties of a person - and those are his good deeds, good and sound mind and never ending compassion especially for the family.

I don't think that I would have dated a handicapped person when I was younger.. As we do grow older, we are much wiser and our judgement is so much better.. I would date someone handicapped, if they had a good personality and my hubby would let me, lol.. Seriously, yes, if they were happy with themselves and not bitter about the reasons for the handicap, then there would be no reason not to..

With some it is only makeup deep.Well since I am no beauty myself I didn't set my sights hi up for a model sexy man but found my hubby whom might not be considered sexy or even handsome in some, cases but love found us anyhow. I have nohting against blind people they are just like us without the eyesight but use their hands as their eyes,Yes I would date someone wheelchair bound,disfigured,or with a cane or walker. It is what and how they are inside that really counts and what makes them lovable, If you fall in love with a image the outside then when beauty begins to fade then so does the love and you move on to the next young thing and so on..I go by the inside of a person how they act and how they treat others. Beauty can be only skin deep but ugliness of the soul is bone deep.

I would date a man that is handicapped at the same time I have to use a cain myself so I don't see a problem with it. Even before I needed to use a cain I did date a man that used one so I don't have a problem with it. I try to get to know someone for who they are besides their looks.

It all depends. Does he have someone to help him in and out of the chair?If so, why not. If not, I don't think so. I am not the nurse type. If he is blind, does he like to listen to hockey on radio?if so, yes.if he is deaf, does he like the art of Van Gogh? If so, yes.What is ugly? I would have to see because what I think is ugly isn't what others think is ugly.Mistreating people is more ugly than looks.If he just walks with a cane, no problem. But the main question is, does he like hockey ans movies. If so, we could have a good time with each other.

If I cared, I wouldn't have the friends I do. I've had friends that are homely, disabled, or otherwise not considered attractive. I didn't care then, I care even less now. All I really care is that we are compatable.

I could date/marry anyone regardless of how they looked or if they were handicapped. If i loved them then done of that should matter. All that matters is is we are happy. I've dated someone before who I honestly didn't find really all that attractive. I didn't think she was ugly but I just didn't think anything. After some time I started to like her and the more i got to like her the more and more I started to look at her and find her attractive. So if you love a person I think that really helps with the attraction part there for making someone with any of those things you said not really matter. although they shouldn't matter anyway.

Hello rose. I won't be lying if I say I want the best only. But if God is to give me an average person with average capabilities and beauty, I would accept it. I wouldn't want to be too ungrateful at all and I think that everyone deserves a chance to live in this world and to be loved.

I've gone out with unattractive men in my past, though none of them ever worked out. I really can't say if I would go out with a cripple. If I was already married to someone and then they became crippled, I would have to wait and see what I would do. Lorraine

Like some others, I think when I was younger looks might have meant more than they do today. My hubby (we've only been married 3 years) has mild CP, diabetes II and fibromyalgia. When we married, he had a huge lump on his neck that he'd had for 20 years. For a long time, they told him it was too close to the brain stem to remove. When we were married, he was able to find a doctor who would operate. But it didn't matter to me. :-) I guess my maladies didn't matter to him either. I have fibro, chronic fatigue, arthritis, depression, IBS and lots of other things.

I dont think I wouldhave wehn I was younger either . and now I aint alooking lol

I try to see the inner beauty of everyone I meet.. I have seen lots of very ugly people all wrapped up in very pretty packageing! xoxoxoxoxoxo

You know there is a saying that goes like this" LOVE IS BLIND' when someone is in love they are really blind, they dont see anything, not even faults. An unatractive person may have be such a compassionate person. There might be someone who is so handsome, but have a a horrible attitude. Sometimes we cant go for the outward appearance; we have to look at the heart. For someone who has the challenges that you named, with that goes a lot of responsibility, so I would have to think twice if I would want to take on those challenges.

The first thing we spend observing is the faces of each person that we met, in daily walks of my life i meet,bump into different looks,and i admit i get scared to see people that looks dirty,not becos they are careless its becos of their situation in life...(poverty) so most of us,thought people that dont look good at all are not attractive anymore.that they are more capable of doin or being rude,hard headed and weirdo. but when i met this old man,no arms,polio victim and his wife left him and their 3 kids which are on there way to adolesence and still needs mothers care.,are a life changing experience...the father stood to be the mother,cooks and fetch his kids to school after that he will go to beaches and play guitar by his feet.He makes money for his kids eventhough hes a handicap,tourist admire him and that scene touches my heart.thinking that, that guys wife...a normal...leave her family because of thought that her husband is useless...now whose better?...
