Most of the people stare at things that are not common, strange. I understand why it makes you uncomfortable and unconfined, but understand them, they don't want to hurt you or make you feel bad, as a matter of fact most of them are not even sorry for you, they don't care, they just look at you as a subject to observe.

I don't believe that the lag brace itself would prevent you form getting a girl (well shallow and stupid maybe, but you don't need a girl like that anyway, trust me). What would prevent you from getting a girl is your self confidence. You need a good confidence boost!

I honestly don't think it would, and I can be pretty shallow at times.

One of my friends wears a leg brace on occasion. she has a disease in her nerves (it had a really long, hard to spell name, so, yeah, lol) that makes it almost impossible to feel anything from her knees down. that, combined with an old injury, causes her to walk with a pronounced limp on a good day. some days, she's in her brace or even a wheel chair because she's having difficulties. but nobody treats her any different for it.

I know so many wonderful people in wheelchairs, and lots of people with things like cerebral palsy, autism, and down syndrome. they're some of the coolest people I've ever met. But the thing they all have in common is that they don't act like they're disabled. They act like anyone else would, and as a result, people don't treat them like they're broken or like something's wrong with them. That, I think, would be my advice. Don't give them any reason to think that something's wrong with you just because you happen to be different. Just be yourself, and ignore the people who can't handle it. They're not the type of people you'd want for friends anyway.

(by my answer, I hope you gathered that disabilities really don't bother me. people are people, and being different doesn't make them less of a person.)

if it was a long term injury from a sport it would actually attract me. but if it was because of some sort of natural cause which prevents you from doing alot of physical activity, i would be turned off because i wouldnt be able to be with someone who could not keep up with me.

Work on your confidence. Don't "blame" (lack of a better word) women for not being able to get them because of lack of confidence.

I know you have a disability and everything, but I treat people with them as I would with people without disabilities. If you didn't have the brace, you probably wouldn't get a girl anyway with your lack of confidence.
