O.k. I have a slight problem walking and cooridinating my left leg. It makes me not have a smooth walk like I did when I was 21. It is probably tghe result of doing drugs when I was younger in college. I always had girls back then. I do not do drugs anymore for 5 years and earned my degree and have a good job but I am so humiliated by having an akward walk now I do not ask any girls out anymore because I feel it is a huge turn-off for them and I am ashamed. Am I right in my thinking?

No, you are wrong in your thinking. Your slight problem with walking will only turn off girls that you would be better off without--that is, you would be better off without girls who are so shallow.
Just be patient and you will eventually find Ms Right!

No...it might be an issue for some girls, but I think you'll find it would be way less than the majority...what you are doing is assuming you know all women's minds (we don't know 'em half the time...you sure can't!). Don't pre judge us all as shallow...but also if you do start asking women out again, and you get some rejections, don't automatically assume it's due to your walk (the tendency will be to use that as your reason, when that will probably rarely be the case).
Let us decide what turns us on and off...let those you are attracted to, decide if they are attracted back...don't take yourself out of the game because you think you know how others will feel or react...I think you'll be surprised...

I've recently lost a leg in a railroad injury, and I use a prosthetic leg, and walk with a varying limp, and I have NO problem coming on to women if I want, unless, that is, I think my wife might mind, LOLOLOLOLOL!! But it's not your limp that will cause you problems. It's going to be your personality and whether you have complete control over your former drug addiction. THAT will be the foremost issue you need to keep in front of you. God Bless you.

Well you have a great and informative story there. I immediately pictured in my head...you in on stage giving advice to young people as to the hazards of doing dope. If you were my friend I would say...perfect your story, spiffy up and give those speeches. Your kind of story is a lesson they should learn and I'd be willing to bet that in the meantime you would find someone who found you quite sincere and charming and one who knew himself and willing to help others. That is a powerful trump card.
Case in point...Paul McCartney married a gal who lost her leg and found met her at speech ceremony for survivors....
Okay so the marriage didn't work out but gee...he was and is Paul McCartney and many women love him.
You are a survivor and have turned your life around...use it to your best advantage. The little limp in just proof of your message and you certainly have a message worth telling and hearing.

I have a birth defect that prevents me from standing fully erect (I always look like I'm slouching) and I managed to find someone. My now husband didn't care when he met me. He has a speech impediment caused by a severe cleft lip and palate at birth. I didn't even notice it until my mom said something about it! The right girl will overlook your problem, it doesn't sound that severe.
P.S My husband didn't even notice the fact that I jerk and twitch all the time due to a medical problem when we first met!

I don't think it's the walk that would turn them off, you're probably portraying a lower level of self-confidence due to the walk. Don't worry about it, it makes you unique. When you see a girl looking at you, smile at her.

C'mon, nobody would have a problem with the way you walk. Get rid of all these thoughts. Would you choose not to date a girl whose walk is a little awkward?

Not a problem at all. There are a lot of girls that would go out with you I bet. Unless of course you whine and complain all the time.

Go to a Bible-believing church, get saved. There are a lots of really nice girls there who will like you for who you are, not how you walk.
