Is a limp/gait abnormality in a woman a turnoff?

I've had a mild but noticeable limp my entire life and am just curious about this. I've never actually had a guy bring it up to me before, though it's not something many people do bring up, probably out of politeness.

I’d say it’s a helpful screening tool to get rid of the superficial idiots you wouldn’t want to be wasting your time with anyway

It's an old instinct from prehistory. Humans, like any animal, would seek out the healthiest specimens to mate with, because the world was dark and dangerous, so you had to maximise the chance of survival and of having healthy children who would also survive. There's still elements of that evolutionary habit in our DNA, but we've intellectually suppressed that trait to appreciate other fine aspects of a human being. Indeed, your own positive attitude to life and your intelligence will overcome any negative attitude towards your physical aspects.

Heck no, not at all... I think anyone who would be turned off by a limp/gait abnormality isn't someone anyone would want to be involved with.
no...do you have a heart that beats? do you have a good sense of humor? do you smile at nice things or even out of the blue?. are you kind to animals? not all of us men are that cold hearted to think a limping woman was a turnoff

If a man bases his choices on such things, he is petty and not worth your time. A good man considers all the qualities of a person. Both inside and out.

No. A very close friend has one leg a bit shorter than the other, which makes her limp. Some men are actually attracted to the motion of her rear when she walks. Other seemed not to let it bother them at all because she was very popular with men in high school and college. Her husband obviously wasn't bothered and told me he never thought about it.

A man don't fall in love with a limp. He falls in love with the woman. If he says no to you just because of that....you didn't want or need him anyway.

Nope! I walk with a pretty pronounced limp myself so it would be hypocritical of me to take issue with it in someone else. :)

At worse I wouldn’t think anything of it
At best it would make them stand out to me more
So no I wouldn’t say it would be a turnoff
If someone likes you because of who you are and your personality I don't think it should make a difference

Most guys are more simple than that. A slight limp, or even a more blatant limp isn’t going to be an issue.

Definitely, she would have to make up for it somewhere else where others wouldn't have to, but it could be worse.

If it's mild, then it's fine. I had the same thing all my life (one leg was two inches longer) until cancer took one of my legs.
Maybe slightly, but it shouldn't be hard to paint over it

I hope it’s not an issue for you 🩷.

I have to walk with a cane and two braces.

If it’s an issue you don’t want them.
