Would you be willing to go on a date like this?

I’ve been watching a great documentary/series called ‘The Undateables’. Here

The central focus of this program is helping so-called undatable types to find an ideal mate or date. The people they choose vary from dwarfs, to tourette’s sufferers and other few other people suffering from various disabilities that would perhaps turn some people off.

I find it interesting all in all because there are so many regular people willing to meet with people, who by societies standards, appear ‘less than’.

A tall good looking guy with a career as a personal trainer is willing to meet and date a tiny dwarf. Another regular girl is willing to look past a guy’s serious facial disfigurement into his heart. In a way, this program has inspired in me good thoughts about the human race. I just felt that people were more interested in what you looked like or what you had. (We are so bombarded with media telling us we are too fat, small, tall or whatever).

Sadly though, I am not sure I would be able to look past major handicaps if I am honest. Considering this is not a time thing. In that the people meet and fall in love slowly by chance. Instead, they are set up on a date and then make a decision thereafter if they’d like to meet again.

Would you be able to look past major disabilities of any nature and go on a first date in the hopes of seeing deeper into this person? Or, if not why?
