Poll: Would you date and/or marry someone with a mental handicap?

[Awsomeotaku]

I thought about this after I saw the poll about transgendered people, and I was curious.
EDIT: noticed I forgot to put the marry thing in, sorry for the confusion

 

[piplink]

it depends, are you talking about someone that is crazy or slow, either way it really depends.

Whats the and/or for?

And it really depends on what you mean by `Mental Handicap`, do you mean someone who is for example bipolar, with mental health issues, or do you mean someone who is disabled to the point of having a young mental age?

this exactly, I would never date someone who isn't all there mentally. However if it's just seizures or bipolar disorder I could live with it.

You're going to need to define "mental handicap" a lot more thoroughly than you have here. It could mean just about anything. And I'm not even going to get into the ramifications of the word "handicap" FFS.

 

[Mr Cwtchy]

I think the real question is would they date me?

And yeah, I'll go with 'it depends on the severity'. If it's something relatively mild then sure, I could work around that.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Yeah, what everyone else said. It would depend on the severity, but typically I'll say no.
My ex had autism and I couldn't even cope with that :/ so I'm not sure about something more.
If he was in an accident and became mentally handicapped I'd stay by his side though.

 

[TyrantGanado]

I went out with a girl who had pretty bad bipolar disorder for nearly two years. There were a few attempted suicides to be talked out of on her part.

So yeah...

 

[Saladfork]

Well, depends on the severity.

I mean, I have a mental handicap, but I don't actually tell people and nobody notices anyway. I would have no problem with somebody similar to myself.

A Down's syndrom person, though? Of course not.

 

[xXGeckoXx]

Honsetly.

Young mental age no, bipolar probably not. I look for intelligence and stability in a partner.

But a condition like schizophrenia maybe if I liked them enough
