Even the disabled can shoot you down.
It absolutely boggles the mind that in this so-called age of enlightenment when racial and gender barriers are slowly going away, the disabled is still looked down on as helpless. We aren't.

Dating is always tough, regardless if someone is physically challenged or not. Even people with no physical disabilities get turned down a lot, especially if they lack social skills.
Eventually some people will become disabled, whether thru accidents or age. I don't think the majority of people look down on the disabled as helpless. I see a lot of them in relationships.
