Dating With Cerebral Palsy

I'm disabled, use a a wheelchair, and have vocal damage, and omg dating is difficult! I feel your struggles! Best wishes!

[@winning3329]

Dating is a numbers game, even people who don't have disabilities struggle finding the right partner. Just keep searching

[@amelia35g]

I have cerebral palsy and this video really resonated with me. I've always had a difficult not time not only with dating but making real friends since I was always bullied growing up by the people who i thought were my friends so I have a really hard time trusting people.

[@sanjjuarez3773]

It broke my heart when the girl he liked back in school stood him up 💔 I hope he finds someone soon.☺️

[@SpongeB00b_is_a_savage]

i think it’s because the girl doesn’t want to be seen

[@winning3329]

It's perfectly okay for the girl to change her mind, people have a right to like whoever they want.

I have a client who has cerebral palsy, in a wheelchair. He has not been able to find anyone to date in peraon, only online who end up taking advantage of him

[@KevinZhu42]

Unfortunately this happens very often. People who don’t understand what cerebral palsy is tend to be afraid to get to know the person because it’s unfamiliar to them.

I like this idea (I am Melissa from the video)

[@ih82r8]

Agree. Personality and attitude is key.

[@zetazimmer4769]

@@melissat494 Hi there! I really loved this sweet video. People having very specific types, excluding people for height or race or disability or other identity, seems like a common complaint. I feel like it would solve a lot of problems to have a space for the rest of us that just want a fair shot with people that are more open-minded.

This is so heart warming and beautiful. Sean is my brother's name too, but I'm the one with the disabilities. I'm so sad that Melissa lives too far away, she was so sweet. ❤ But, at least they both have a new friend to talk to in this time of isolation! Keep at it you two! Your person is out there, and they are just waiting for you to show up too. 🤗

[@melissat494]

Hi, I’m Melissa from the video. Aw! That is too sweet of you. I wish I lived closer to Sean but am glad I made a friend at least!

I love this! Please bring back Sean I have CP as well.💚 It’s not about disability you are so right. We are just like everyone else we just need help sometimes and that’s okay. I find that meeting someone revolves around that friendship connection.

[@annajoel7478]

I have very mild CP. the only thing it effects is my gait and speech. My whole life people made snap decisions about my mental ability based on my physical difficulties and it sucks. I’m on tinder but when guys want to meet up I don’t want to because I’m afraid for them to see me. I had it in my bio for a while but I got too freaked out. Thanks for the video it was really cool.

My boyfriend has cp and he’s in a wheelchair and struggles pretty hard with day to day things he loves me because I actually “look past” that but the way I see it is he’s a person just like everybody else who wants a chance to find someone to love but my family sees him as just a breathing disability and it’s really frustrating

[@trinajordan820]

I applaud you I have mild CP I walk on my own but occasionally have to use a walker and dating is really hard for me I have a lot of friends but I can't deny I am looking for a great guy someday I think that is amazing that you looked past his disability not to many people have the heart or maturity to do that! Bravo to you and him don't worry about what your family has to say if you truly love him that's all that matters!!!

As an older woman who was born with cerebral palsy I can relate to his story of wanting to date but being shy about it because I'd also love to be able to date but sadly it's impossible because there aren't really any options out there for disabled people ( I mean in my situation I walk using crutches and guys look at me as if I have some sort of disease ( Newsflash men disabilities in general are not contagious )

[@brad349miller]

I don't have an intellectual disability. I have an attraction for a man with CP. Is this acceptable to pursuit him? Are people with CP intellectual impaired enough to be susceptible to being taken advantage of? I don't want people to incorrectly assume my intentions are bad. I just want someone who loves me like I love them: unconditionally.

I hope your brother finds some one I know how he feels 😢 I'm 65 and I've gone through what he's going through as far as dating and relationships Because I have CP

[@carveylover]

Does Sean meet with someone to help him in life. I meet with a life aid a person who just helps me navigate the world with my learning disabilities. They were always so knowledgeable on dating and where I could look when I was looking. There is a glass slipper for everyone and Sean will find the right sight for him. Also plenty of mainstream dating sites accommodate disabilities.

[@lizw3731]

I think he made up his mind about her too soon. The date went well so they shouldve dated a few more times and had fun. Maybe if it worked out she wouldve moved near him. He kinda friend zoned her quickly without seeing if it was something worth sticking with. Long distance can and does work out if both ppl want it enough.

[@sierraAgh]

You have to also realize people with disabilities have their own families and communities that often times they don’t want to leave. We also didn’t hear her side of it. Maybe they talked about meeting and she said she didn’t want to move either. There’s a lot of factors that come into play that we can’t judge him on.

[@markt6612]

Wondering what dating site they were using...have a friend with CP and he also wants to meet a friend.

[@ght33]

Hmmm I’m torn... my partner has CP, we are constantly battling ableism. Is this video cute or disability porno? I’m serious, Yes, or course it’s cute. Matching disabilities on a dating app and showing it on a video as a cute thing is also Disability Porno. This was a sister helping her brother finding a date. The fact that he is disabled is actually irrelevant. Why wouldn’t he date? Why does his disability make it cute? It doesn’t. A sister helping her brother could be cute. If you understand the phrase White Privilege then please understand the phrase Able Privilege.

[@macphisto45]

I feel the same. I sent this to my wife with CP. She agrees completely with what you have said. The Cerebral Palsy shouldnt be the focus here. It's a sister getting her brother a date. That's it. Why should disability matter here. Yes awareness and understanding is going to always be something I promote but I don't feel that this is the right way to go about it.

[@Strafer66]

Dude is sly. Taking advantage of his sisters access to this huge platform to try and get laid. In turn, Buzzfeed gets the views for a “cute” video. Win win! Sure the disability is irrelevant in some ways. Big whoop.... again, it’s buzzfeed. Hope his plan works 😁

I don’t know about y’all but the phrase “high functioning” has been to explained to me as a derogatory term because the only reason that label is there is because it is relating a persons functioning level to the amount of work they can do under capitalism
