Index Number: 14050 I have what I usually term an "aesthetic handicap", which in my case is a physical handicap (provided it can be called this way) having no major functional consequences but causing (due to the fact that it can be noticed by the other persons) some "social" problems (as for instance, some difficulties in the relationships with the other sex). I would like to know if somebody out there is in a similar situation (I hope this is the right newsgroup) in order to talk about it. Marco (MPACE@ESOC.BITNET)

I bet you have heard that old line 'physical beauty is only skin
deep' a thousand times. Well, consider this.....
I'm confined to a wheelchair. Have muscle spasms which
are a turn off. Have a nose which can be used for the ski
jumping trials. And depending on the weather, the time of day,
and how much I've been sweating I could have B.O. bad enough to
make the stables smell pleasant.
With all those demerits I have still managed to find to
women who married me. One for six years, and one for 10 years.
On top of that I still found others I could cheat with and date
before, between, and after divorces.
Keep trying.
