... one of the Greatest Gents ever to grace the hobby with his presence was Wheeler of St. Louis. Sadly, he passed away not long ago. He was severely disabled, and there were some Ladies who had a problem with that. But Wheeler had MUCH fun with some incredible Ladies over the years, and most of them just loved him because he was such a nice guy.

Anyway, Wheeler was always very up front about his physical condition when he contacted the Ladies, and most frequently, if they had a problem with it, they would simply decline to see him. I never got any "statistics" from Wheeler, but my impression was that it was a pretty small minority that did not want to see him.

In my experience, the Ladies seem to care a lot more about things like attitude, politeness, and hygiene than looks or other physical attributes. Just be up front, and I bet you'll have a great time. If you are half the man that Wheeler was (on the inside), you'll do just fine.
