If you carry one thing with you today, let it be this: you are beautiful, you matter, and you are loved.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
Hey comrades, do any of you know or have experience with dating apps for people with disabilities? I’m in my early 30s and have hit the point in my life where I would like to find a life partner. I looked around on the Reddit disability community but y’all know what’s up with Reddit users.
Apps specifically designed for disabled people or using apps as a disabled person?
I was mostly looking for apps designed for disabled people, but I’ll also take advice on dating able-bodied folks.
I can’t speak for apps for disabled people, but the disabled people i know who has had the most success on the apps have used smaller apps and/or dated in kink spaces. There’s a lot more open minded people if you leave tinder/bumble behind. (Grindr is always a cesspit, but I don’t know anyone else who is both gay and disabled well enough to have talked dating with them) Of course if you’re not into kink stuff, you probably shouldn’t be looking in those spaces.
Yeah mainstream apps are already nightmare fuel for able-bodied people, I ain’t messing with that lol. I’m not into kink, just a cis femme attracted guy, but thank you for taking the time to answer me.
