Would you be with someone who is physically disabled?

I am wondering if you liked someone, you meet them by chance or have liked them for some time and they walk with a limp are noticably in pain. Would that stop you from starting a relationship with them? So I've had rheumatoid arthritis since I was 2 years old, I walk with a bit of a limp and on my bad days I can barely walk. I'm curious if you see someone, you find them attractive and they have a great personality but has a limp, would you still ask them out? I'm not gonna lie my chronic pain really messes with my head at times and I honestly feel that most men wouldn't want to be with me because of my chronic pain. I see myself as damaged good in all reality. So I just want to poke into the minds of others to see if it would impact how you feel about someone. Would you date someone who is physically disabled?

To be completely honest with you, I can be a really good friend or maybe hookup if it leads up to that. I don’t think I’d want something serious like marriage or having kids. It’s just that I feel I’d carry the relationship and it can be passed down to my kids. As a friend, though, I wouldn’t mind helping out once in a while.

Just to be fair and real with you, there are other options out there. If I dated someone for a while and something happened, I’d still stay with the person, whether it’s a new illness or an accident. If there isn’t anything there in the first place, then I can look for other options first. Not to give false hope or anything, but life can be funny and you meet someone who completely accepts you for who you are.
