My brother started dating a girl with disability. She is on wheelchair, and is paraplegic from waist down. My brother is cute, and I know lots of girls has an interest in him- he is definitely looking above average, and I think he is like wasting his time with this girl- there are numerous things they cannot do together. What do you think about dating someone with a disability?

I think it is great if he loves her, and if she loves him back!
Limiting oneself in loving someone because this other one has disability is nonsense! You are also being trivial- I mean, if he loves that girl- why do you think he is wasting time, especially if he doesn’t think that?? Of course they are limited in numerous things because of her disability, but there are also numerous things they can do and enjoy in together.
I think dating someone with disability, well, I wouldn’t say this is noble thing, it is, but this is not the point- I think love matters here most- some find it in people that are professional athletes, some in people with disability: and this exactly is the prove we are talking about love- nothing else matters but they being together!
I think, if your brother accepts her, you should accept his girlfriend too!
