First of all I say good on you for having the guts to post this. Frankly I reckon you'd have more trouble finding someone because of your age rather than the amputation. This might have something to do with me being only 27 and knowing a lot of freaks who would get all wet over an amputee!! Lord, I'd be scared of the 11 year old waking up!

Just be yourself. I mean some positions would be out of the question, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. Some women like a man at their mercy :) With my guy being 'cuddly' and me quite petite, we're somewhat limited but it's never been an issue.

Don't 'make do' either. You don't have to take anyones pity. Unless of course you just want to get laid....

Sorry, this probably hasn't been much help...

First, congratulations on being here .........Second, should a woman take issue with the amputation, then move on, she is too shallow. The loss of a limb does not define you. Just be yourself, nature will care for the rest.........

Sometimes, when we REALLY want to find that special other, it seems even harder. Course we never realize it. Your age is no issue - there are plenty of ladies our age out here.
Truly, I feel te biggest obstacle for you is fear of rejection due to your leg. Let's be honest, other people pick up on insecurity. A woman LOVES confidence and laughter. See a tdoc and work that issue out. You are NOT that missing limb - you are SOOOO much more. Offer that part of you.

Personally, I have been with an amputee before. I found him to be really no different than any other man I have been with. Sure there were positions that we had to switch up..but that's not necessarily a bad thing......

Well seeing as my father is an amputee and he found someone after the amputation and they have been married for about three years now.

So it is possible to find someone out there. If you have conquered your own insecurities about the amputation it makes it easier. Although I do know that it can be a constant struggle depending on how long it has been since the amputation. But honestly you are the same person you were before the operation. Like my Dad says "just a few pounds lighter."

A caring potential partner should not have any qualms about you being am amputee. And anyone who does have a problem with it is honestly not worth your time.

I have heard that sex can get quite interesting due to the extra room which can allow for new positions.

I agree with all here. Just be yourself. I am not an amputee but do have a lifelong disability which made me nervous about dating, back in the day. Honestly, I did alot of internet dating and such. Getting to know the person BEFORE meeting them. And being straightforward with them. Honesty, confidence, and a sense of humor go a LONG way....good luck!

just take it easy everything will come to you, once you get over scared feeling it will come natural

I don't understand why people go and dig up posts like this and comment on it like it was posted yesterday. Just to draw it back up to the beginning of the pile and confuse the shit out of everyone who doesn't look at dates.

lol @ Anthem ........ I think babybryan has the same issue's as papertrucker, Papertrucker was my friend on here on my last profile and he was a nice guy.
sometimes it can be frustrating when old post's are dragged up, where you here when Papertrucker posted this as well ...???

Babybryan ..........how you doing..?? ..xo

amputee is absolutely no problem for me. (not trying to be a silly poet).

seriously, girls that have an issue with that are too shallow for you to waste your time on. yes, it may be different, but all well! we are all different in some way or another.

i know that i have personally, even as young as a teenager, went on dates with someone who had mild cerebral palsy without the use of one arm, with someone in a wheel chair, guys with acne, guys older than me, and even once someone younger than me. none of it phased me. the relationships didnt end up working out, but not because of anything "wrong" with them, just because there wasnt a connection.
