Using terms like that, I don't buy you are a nurse. My wife is a nurse, and none of her colleagues would ever use that term. Also, you construct sentences like a monkey with a keyboard, so excuse me if I don't buy your stated profession.

Huh?
You do realize what "retard" means, right?
Also - you realize "MR" is a medical designation...right?
Also - notice the "Sent from my iPad" thing on most of my posts?
Besides, didn't I use the term "mental disabilities" in the title?
Now if that isn't the pot calling the kettle black
Dang straight!
OP, you have absolutely, positively zero business in even attempting to date. If ever there was a man who needed at least a year or two of therapy and a complete emotional and lifestyle overhaul before even considering it, he would be you.
Please, for your own sake, get a grip on yourself and your life first.

Mental Retardation is still an accepted medical term for this condition.
That term is no longer used. The correct term is "Intellectually Delayed" or "Intellectually Disabled" (ID). In fact, one of my co-workers renewed her license; she used to be certified in "Mental Retardation," but she is now certified in "Intellectual Disabilities".

You're right.
It hasn't affected me, and that was how I learned it. in fact my uncle is MR, and well...that's always been how it was referred to ("MR").
Personally I find Politically Correctness overly annoying..
So far, on two separate occasions, I have run across a woman who I suspected has a mental disability on Plenty Of Fish...
On both occasions I had to talk to them a few times in order for it to become apparent, then certain clues from their pictures further clued me in..
Soo..what do people do in those situations?
I can't ask them, right?
How else do other people handle this?
And why am I being matched with two women who are MR?
I don't want to be mean, or insensitive..
You aren't exactly a shining beacon of sanity yourself.
