Does a man becoming a paraplegic appeal to(some) women's maternal instinct?

Question

ie would some women be more likely to go fpr a bloke if he wound up breaking his back/paralyzed?

Answer 1

The kind of woman that would be attracted to a man ONLY because he was paralyzed, would not make a companion/wife to anyone.

Answer 2

What a horrible thought!!!! No I would not be more inclined to choose a man who needs care 24/7 because I am not a nurse, and a relationship like that just isnt healthy unless it happened unintentionally. Nobody who is paraplegic wants to hear that someone chose them out of a crowd as a potential mate, because they could not get up and run away when the chips were down.

Answer 3

I dont think a woman would be more likely to go for a bloke only b/c he was parapalegic...but there are some women that are most happy when they have someone to take care of, too fuss over, and fi she was this kind of lady, eventually she would want to take care of and fuss over her children which the described man may not be able to provide for her.... if she fell in love with a bloke mainly for this reason, in my opinion, i think the relationship would be rocky b/c eventually she would maybe feel like there was something missing or that she would be unfullfilled..women fall in love for many reasons, just like men. If a man is parapalegic i dont think that means he will be single forever it just means he needs a very loving and compassionate wife or partner. The hunt for a partner will obviously be more challenging than for a non parapalegic..Selon moi..

Answer 4

??? "Wound up" breaking his back? She knew him "before"?

I can't answer that question. Depends on the guy, depends on the girl. My sister married a paraplegic, but he was so before she met him. He had/has great personality. She fell for who he is, not for his body. She does most of the "breadwinning," (not all of it), but that's a choice they made that's separate from his physical disability. They've had the usual bumps in their marriage. His health is probably a bigger concern to them than in most conventional marriages, because regulating his body temperature is difficult, and because he is prone to putting on weight sitting in his chair. He has developed arthritis in his elbows and they both loathe the eventuality of him switching to a motorized chair, because right now he gets most of his physical activity pushing himself around.

Attitude and personality are the determining factors that answer a question like this. If a woman wants to "cure" the guy or "mother" him, or even sees herself first as his motivation coach (before his wife), I suggest both of them avoid this marriage. That is NOT a marriage.

P.S. Despite the doctors' opinion that my brother-in-law would never have children, he and my sister have four beautiful girls (all of whom look more like dad than mom, for you doubters).
