And not in a nice way, how somebody can just jump in and ask the question "looking for a girlfriend/boyfriend?" after just a couple of posts in a chat room or shout box.
The most glaringly obvious problem with this is that the person being asked may be the real life version or Hannibal Lector or the reincarnation of Jack the Ripper. (I am neither of these, because I am the reincarnation of Macsen Wellig... or Myrrdyn one of the two) and yes the previous was a sarcastic shot.
The next thing that happens, at least in my case, is that when I tell a lady exactly what my future holds, the immediate response is "I will be there to help you."
There is two problems with the above statement, 1) there is no way in hell the lady has any idea what she is saying, and 2) she has no clue as to just what that may entail.
It is the same as someone with no experience with white water saying, "I am going down the grand canyon in a kayak and no guide."
Dealing with a disabled individual on a daily basis is hard enough, just ask any nurse. But to deal with one that has been what has been called adventurous, daring and working hard his entire life is going to be next to impossible.
People like me have a hard time accepting what is coming. Yes, I can say the prognosis is that I will be in a wheelchair within 5 or 10 years. That does not mean that I accept the fact. Nor does it mean that I always follow the doctor's rules now.
In other words, dealing with a stubborn, mule headed, self created idiot is no picnic. It would take a strong woman to even realistically consider it, and then she has to be ready for anything, i.e, hope for the best but expect the worst.
