Companionship & mate-searching are the major "hidden agenda" for
many disabled people.

Generally, I say to the 'searchers', to become externally-focussed,
rather than self-focussed.  In other words, become TASK-CENTERED,
rather than People-centered.

I found that two people with similar values, similar "goals &
priorities" are much more likely to match in personality as well.

Since in Industrial societies, it is more "polite" to be
Externally-centered, to be more Task-centered, then the
Other-Partners are also doing what you are really doing.

They too have the same "HIDDEN AGENDA" that you have, and often
they too are using the similar tasks/goals as a "cover" for
finding the "Perfect Match".

If you are living in a Pre-Industrial or Post-Industrial setting,
it is ok to state things like:

 "I am looking for my Perfect Match.  Can you help me!"

My heritage up to the age of 12 (Chinese) was pre-industrial.
And after the age of 17, it became post-industrial.  I have
worked with Australia's top "Introduction" agency, in a
professional way, as well as several types of counselling,
berfore my own accident, over 5 years ago.

I still remain single & never-married; "fighting-off" marriage
offers, but now I know that to find Perfect-Match, you need more
psychological matching than I'll explain right here.

Hope this professional insight is valuable to someone.

        Bull, I've never had any trouble. If your a "wall flower" 
before your disability or are not disabled it has nothing to do with 
hidden agenda.

        Why can't a person do tha in any era?

        I'm impressed!

        Good God, I'm glad your so popular that you have to fight off 
marriage proposals. Is it because your your monetary riches? Your 
dynamic personality? Your honesty? Give us a break Greg. It sounds 
like you use money for buying your so called friends. Do you really 
expect us to believe you have 20 to 30 girl friends? Are they paid 
for? You want honesty without tact here it is. Wake up Greg you talk 
politics yet complain when you ran in a race and comments you said 
weere used against you. You cited race as the reason you lost. I say 
it was your own stupidity.

>Hope this professional insight is valuable to someone. 

        Yes do the opposite of whatever he recommends and you'll do 
fine. Thats if you could understand it.
