the only reason a leg brace would stop girls from wanting to date you is if they're shallow, and you don't want girls like that anyway.

I don't see why the fact that you need to wear a leg brace should prevent you from having a personal life. Those girls must be really shallow if such thing bothers them.

What about glasses? It's the same thing to me - you need to wear an aid for medical reasons. So, those shallow girls would probably avoid a guy with glasses as well.

only a shallow girl wouldnt date you for that reason, personally I would have no problem with it.

If people tease you about it just laugh along. I know that sounds stupid but when I was little I was picked on so bad but now i just beat them to the joke and it died down=)

It wouldn't bother me one bit.  If I really liked someone, it wouldn't matter to me at all.  In fact I'd find it kind of sexy like a fetish.

I have a leg brace that i need to wear in order to walk from the knee down. i always try to ignore it and pretend its not a big deal but it is. it doesnt make me confident. i feel like i cant ever get a girl because of it and i dont want them to feel sorry for me.

even in junior college i get stares all the time whenever i wear shorts. why is it such a big deal?

would a leg brace on a guy prevent you girls from wanting to date them? Please be honest?

Theres nothing i cant do. I take it off when i swim, sleep, ect... i just need it to walk cause i cant put any pressure on it otherwise.  

would a leg brace on a guy prevent you girls from wanting to date them? Please be honest? The leg functions fine, i just need a brace to walk... and my foot is a little smaller than the other one (not noticeable when i wear shoes and the brace)...

how can i get confidence with ladies with this? obviously i have been teased alot as a kid... and my true friends seem to ignore it and not care.. but i have a hard time meeting people because i get tired of explaining the same story of what happned... over and over. every person i see has to ask.

so i know the paragraphs are messy and theres lots of questions throughout.. but i really appreciate it if you would take the time to answer them.


He should come and say 'Hi'. Then he should just be himself.. He should be confident.. Introduce himself.. Maybe have a sense of humour.. Talk to me a bit so that we can get to know eachother.. And ask me if I'll go somewhere nice with him.. Oh yeah, also I like it if he'll just give me his number, just in case, you know.."

DO THAT

I know what u mean. I had hearing aids and I felt the same way about them like people don't give you the time of day when u want to date like the rest of the world. So my answer is no it wouldn't stop me from dating a guy. Ever!you have to get to know the person first in every case

A leg brace definitely wouldn't hinder me from approaching/talking to a guy; it just seems like you're surrounded by shallow, overly-judgemental girls. A female friend of mine is an amputee, missing an entire foot, and she's been in an amazing relationship for several years! In comparison, a leg brace is really nothing.

Everybody here knows the answers that they should give, and they're certainly giving them. I'd be interested to see whether you guys would follow through on your words if you were ever put in such a situation. Considering the experiences that the OP is going through I doubt that that's the case. The sad truth is that, when it comes to finding a partner, people are adverse to anything they perceive as any kind of disability or impairment. It's not right but it's just a fact of life.
