I find that there are many pretty women out there but they don't seem to acknowledge that fact that I'm trying to start something when I talk to them. I have always had the impression that most able bodied women are looking for men of the same physical status (ie lobido [sp?]). Or they write me off in their minds as mentally defiencent. well I would like to say that I have just as healthy drive (sex) as most of the men in our society and I can earn a living, buy a home, drive a car, cook, clean (within reasonable limits), fix broken items and pay taxes (gasp for air). So chin up! Batching it isn't so bad. In fact I myself am not committed to any one in particular at this time as well. I enjoy my freedom and am not in any hurry to settle down with a wife and children as of yet. You yourself are young and I'm sure you'll find somebody compatible one day. The trick is not to let anyone say that you can't marry just because you have a disability. I think that above all is the worst form of disability. Now don't take this as gospel but if your culture forbids marriage then mabe you should speed with your Rabbi about the frustration of this restriction that is causing you such grief. I'm sure that ther is some way to happiness for you in the dating game. Well enough (damage done?) said!! TTFN!!!
