Choosing The Best Disabled Dating Sites

Unfortunately for those genuinely interested in disabled online dating, there are too many websites out there that look great from the outside, fancy design and all, but once you sign up, you find it to be a completely empty website with no actual users and no real features or functions. We don’t want this to happen to you, which is why we decided to look into dozens and dozens of disabled dating sites and to hand-pick only those that are actually worth your while.

In order to do so, we have followed several important criteria. First of all, we were interested in the features each of the websites had to offer. In addition to the traditional ones, like browsing, searching, filling in profile details and uploading photos, as well as messaging, on many of these websites there are also instant messages, chat rooms, “flirts,” lists of favorites, blocked users, the “not interested” feature, “little black book,” and many more. Basically, each of the websites on our list will give you just the features you need to successfully reach out to people, start making friends and find love.

We also thought it was important to assess the ease of use of these websites. Some dating sites are just way too complicated for a regular user, and we didn’t want to include those websites here, mostly because they often come hand in hand with poor functionality, and also because we feel that all users want their experience on a dating site to be pleasant, fun and – easy.

Most dating site users, especially the paying ones, are concerned about the value for money, or the quality of service they can expect once they open an account. We investigated this aspect as well, making sure to include only the sites that do not represent a waste of your money (and of your time).

Online dating is fun and exciting, but it can also be dangerous, especially if you are not careful who you give your personal information to. Because of this, our experts assessed the security and safety standards these websites are applying. You can never be 100% safe online, but we can tell you that the disabled dating websites we included in our list definitely meet some high industry standards and do their best to keep you safe from various intruders, hackers, trolls and scammers.

As we said earlier, there are many websites that seem legit but are completely bogus, which is why we wanted to make sure all of these websites are completely trustworthy and reliable. Some of them have a long track record and thousands of satisfied users to verify it, and as for the newer ones, our experts opened accounts and spent some time using them in order to be able to assess their credibility.

When it comes to choosing a disabled dating site to sign up for, the decision is all yours and we cannot make it for you, but what we can do is give you enough of information and recommendations so that you can make the choice that works best for you.

I am once again on The Apps looking at profiles that read “let’s go hiking or a long walk” or affectionately say “NO PSYCHOS NO DRAMA”. The thing is, I can’t hike and, to the untrained eye, I am full of drama. 

I was diagnosed with a connective tissue disorder when I was five that I was told I would grow out of. By the time I reached my early twenties, the teenage growing pains became unbearable and I had fatigue and several other debilitating other symptoms. Now in my thirties, I'm diagnosed with fibromyalgia, hemiplegic migraines, diabetes and other major illnesses that are just as uninteresting as those ones. All of these accumulate into a life where I have no energy and knock back opiates like Smarties.  

Now for the double whammy. I have also been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), widely known as the most painful and most difficult to treat mental health condition. To briefly sum up, I live my life feeling emotions on 100/10, which also rapidly changes. So if someone ghosted you, you might feel a bit gutted for a few days, I simply want to die for a week. 

I don’t disclose my disabilities on my profile. I’m fat and six foot one; I don’t need to stack more odds against me. What I do have is a great face, great chat and an amazing ability to tell if someone is a dickhead or not from the first five minutes of chatting. 

If we move to WhatsApp and it looks as though we will link up, I tell them straight away. In my notes on my phone I have a prepared speech. The “I am disabled” speech. It’s funny, informative, piss-taking to lighten the mood and mentions I have a blue parking badge and great prescriptions as a nice incentive.

No one has ever blocked me or told me to fuck off. Some able-bodied people have said that they know about being tired. Quick tip for you: Unless you have chronic fatigue, don’t do that. I explain that any dates are limited to how I feel on the day. Long walks are out of the picture and there is a chance I could flake.

Once this is out in the open and they seem very cool, I like to then hit them with the “I am also extremely mentally ill”. This one has had mixed reviews. I try to explain that I have had lots of therapy and am good at managing it. If it actually goes somewhere, I will even explain how being left on read will trigger me and if possible not to do that. I have a deep need to be loved and any sense of being abandoned triggers a response that is so overwhelming it feels like physical pain and there is a gaping void inside me that needs to be filled. But I have to ignore it 100 times a day. Cheers, BPD.

But not everyone likes to throw big disabled grenades into light-hearted chats like me, so I talked to other people who use apps to date about their experiences of sharing their disabilities to new partners. Some names have been changed by request to protect their privacy.

JOSEPH STASHKO, 31, LONDON

VICE: What disabilities do you have?
Joseph: I have a diagnosis of ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) and peripheral neuropathy [nerve damage that causes pain, weakness, numbness or tingling]. Basically, I got a virus in 2016 and just never really recovered. 

When and how do you disclose them during the dating app process? 
So I started off not disclosing at all. It really freaked me out that I’d have to, at some point, admit it to people. I only did dates near where I lived so that I wasn’t knackered by the journey and back. Once I started talking about it, the reaction wasn’t particularly great. Often, I think if you’re young, people can’t really conceive of the idea of you not being able-bodied and healthy. 

What have reactions been like?
There’s a spectrum of reactions running from understanding to just flat out not interested in dating me. The vast majority of dating profiles consist of interests like going to festivals, travelling. Those were my interests prior to becoming disabled but it’s not something I can do now. People are confused at how someone who looks healthy and has great taste can also be very ill and unable to do a lot.

What have dates been like?
Generally quite good! The thing is that if I’m feeling truly horrendous I’ve just had to cancel on people. I’ve definitely pushed myself beyond my limits in the past and suffered for days, weeks afterwards because I’ve been afraid to rock the boat. But I’m much better at that now, basically saying I’ve had a really nice time but I’m beyond knackered, please can you let this very floppy six foot four man get an Uber home. 

ALEX 

VICE: What disabilities do you have and what have your online dating experiences been like?
Alex: I've got spina bifida and I'm a below knee amputee. My profile has that I'm a part time wheelchair user and has pics both with and without the chair. If we start chatting I'll probably disclose more then without going into TMI territory. I'm using Bumble and Match. Most appear to be bots, a couple have been real people assuming I'd be flattered with someone much younger taking an interest. I do tend to throw a joke in about the chair or my leg and gauge the reaction from there. I do wonder about having an 'explainer' ready.

CAITLIN M. KEARNS, 24, BELFAST

VICE: What disabilities do you have?
Caitlin: I have agoraphobia and a panic disorder and because of this I haven’t been further than 0.5 miles from my house in 15 months.

When and how do you disclose that during the dating app process?
I disclose them pretty quickly, for fear of someone suggesting meeting up. I try to downplay it a bit as not to scare them off early on, though of course it does have an impact. Nine out of ten times it doesn’t go any further after I tell them. 

What have reactions been like?
Generally OK, though of course some people are more sympathetic than others. I’ve not had anyone be nasty but I have had some people being quite patronising about it. I’ve been living with this for nearly 10 years in various forms and it never gets any less exhausting or difficult having to disclose it to every new person I talk to. 

What have dates been like?
I live at home so although I feel comfortable having dates in my garden, it’s not ideal with my parents knocking about. Generally, I do Zoom dates, which aren’t ideal, but I make it work. I actually got into a relationship during lockdown. We started video calling and eventually met up at my house. Our relationship lasted for about 5-6 months before he ended it earlier this year. I assumed a big part of this was due to my inability to go out.

When and how do you drop your disabilities into conversation?
I usually wait until the other person mentions about meeting up and then I bring it up. I usually don’t use the word agoraphobic, I just say “I’m having a tough time getting out and about at the minute”, lol, and then if I chat to them on Zoom or they don’t seem like an arsehole I go into more details.

EM, 23, NORTH EAST

What disabilities do you have?
I have BPD and depression.

How do you disclose this to potential dates?
I wouldn't bring it up myself, theres such a huge stigma especially around women and non-binary people with BPD that they're always going to be toxic, abusive, manipulative that I was so scared that sharing who I am  would be an instant turn off for whoever I was talking to. I would more often than not wait until I was meeting someone in real life to open that can of worms. My body is covered in visible self-harm scars which meant if I didn't explain early on that I would catch them trying to glance and soak it all in when I was looking away.

What have reactions been like?
I've been told "I think having scars and being crazy is kinda hot you know" which is a very concerning response. I have found that being romanticised is actually something that's happened to me on numerous occasions. At the beginning it's almost like some people find it exciting? Especially the impulsive behaviour and lack of care I would have for myself, then eventually over time I would become less of an exciting and unpredictable, fun person to hang around with and more of a burden and that's usually how that one would end.

Another reaction I've experienced is at the opposite end of the scale where people instantly feel sorry for you and seem to get an overwhelming urge to want to "fix" you. 

SAM

What disabilities do you have?
I have narcolepsy, PoTS, interstitial cystitis, IBS and a whole slew of mental illnesses. More specifically, I deal with PMDD, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, an eating disorder and some pretty intense social anxiety.

When and how do you disclose this during the early dating app process?
A lot of it depends on the person and what level of interaction I’m looking to have with someone. For example, I probably wouldn’t disclose the specifics of my disabilities to a one-time casual sex partner. I might say something along the lines of “I have issues with mobility & energy levels, because of some chronic illness stuff” but wouldn’t go much further than that. 

However, I do disclose my disabilities to people who I’m seeing on a more long-term basis. I don’t really have a set timeline for that because relationship dynamics can vary from person to person. But I usually disclose my disabilities in stages, starting with the more obvious physical things like my narcolepsy. I’ll sometimes have discussions about my general mental health issues but the more vulnerable things, like my ED and trauma, are usually the last to be shared.

What are the usual reactions you get from this?
When I’ve disclosed my disabilities in the past, reactions have ranged from caring but concerned, to visibly overwhelmed, to just genuinely supportive. I’ve learned to use people’s reactions to gauge whether or not I want to tell them more later on. I have yet to meet anyone who’s reacted in an openly shitty or ableist way but I’m still scared of it happening. That fear, along with internalised ableism, often holds me back from being more open with people.

How do dates go?
Dates have been a mixed bag so far! I’ve gone on some really great dates, but I’ve also had rougher ones where I was going through a flare up or just exhausted. I’ll frequently find myself apologising for seeming distant or distracted; if I don’t, many people mistake me being “out of it” for a lack of interest.

What's the best disabled dating site? How do I meet disabled singles? Are there disabled dating sites? How do I date a disabled person? What's the best-disabled dating site? Is there a dating site for special needs?

You may have asked yourself all of these questions, and we are here to help! We have put together a summary of online dating apps and dating advice for people with a disability. 

Dating Advice for People with Disabilities

If you or a loved one has a disability, you understand what is involved with disabled dating.

While the world is growing more accommodating for people with disabilities, dating is one area in which growth has been slow. Many people without disabilities are unconsciously ableists or don't know how to approach dating people with disabilities, and finding someone else with a disability isn't always easy.

We have some disabled dating advice to help you out. Keep reading to learn more. 

Try Online Dating or Disabled Dating Sites

Online dating is a game-changer for people with disabilities. Finding new dates is more accessible than it's ever been.

There are handicap or disabled dating sites and communities specifically for people with disabilities to meet each other and bond, but you may be connecting from a distance. If long-distance dating isn't a problem for you, this is a great choice.

That said, even popular dating apps and platforms are a great starting point. You'll see a wide variety of people who are all near you and you'll get to put your personality forward.

Be Upfront - Be honest about your disability in your profile

If you're using a disabled dating app, make sure that you don't hide your disability. You don't have to disclose any specifics (and if it's a mental health disability, you may not want to disclose at all), but very visible disabilities will be obvious when you meet with your new date.

Most people won't have a problem with someone with a disability, but they may be surprised when you meet up. By mentioning it ahead of time, you're preparing both of you. If they use this as a reason to avoid the date, don't get discouraged. It's their loss, not yours.

Display Confidence - Don't focus on your disability

Speaking of being upfront, make sure that you're displaying confidence when you're on your date.

You might not feel confident on the inside, but this is a universal dating experience. We all feel a little insecure when we're getting into the dating world. 

Confidence is an attractive trait. You're more than your disability, so why not show off a bit? 

Follow Your Interests

One of the most important disabled dating tips is also one of the top dating tips in general. Follow your interests and relationships will follow.

If you're not the online dating type, consider joining clubs or doing activities that you enjoy or are interested in. These can include volunteering, accessible sports, gaming, and more.

If you are the online dating type, join forums and websites associated with your hobbies.

When you meet people in these environments, you know that you already have at least one thing in common. This gives you a stepping stone for continuing the dating process.

Disabled dating can be tricky, but so is dating in general. Many people with disabilities find love with ease, so why can't you? Put these tips to the test and see how your romantic life unfolds.

If you’ve ever completed a CV, you’ll know it’s tricky to write about how wonderful you are. It’s the same with online dating, but the fear of rejection is worse, especially when you’re getting over a break-up.  

My friends, both online dating veterans and virgins to the scene, helped me out.  I didn’t have to worry about disclosing my disability as, let’s face it, my wheelchair and I wouldn’t get far without one another, but several of my loved ones have less visible impairments, and never quite know when to present that to potential partners.  We encouraged each other to be confident and honest, as that really is the best way to go.

I know that I’m not everyone’s cup of tea and I’m perfectly fine with that because frankly, they’re not mine.

The second hurdle with online dating really starts when the matches are made and the notifications start coming in. 

One bloke wanted to know if I was physically able to have sex, not quite the introduction I was looking for. (My response to things like that are always ‘I can, but I won’t be having it with you!’)

I enjoyed several dates, and I met a few guys that said and did all the right things, but time passed by and things fizzled out. As they so often do when you’ve got a myriad of other matches waiting for you in a app. To quote Bruce Springsteen, you need a spark to start a fire.

And then I met CJ.

I’d love to tell you there was a magic formula.  There wasn’t. We matched on Tinder, he seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me, and we met up the next day.  I’d just presented a documentary for BBC Three, and he keenly watched it before meeting me in person.  Brownie points from the get-go!

On our third date, I picked him up in my car to go out for a day. He moved my wheelchair out of the passenger seat and into the boot with quiet confidence, before getting in. We went on a road trip tour of his childhood – where he grew up, went to school, his first jobs and his favourite haunts like Loch Lomond with its stunning views.

It was just so thoughtful, different and cool for a girl that hadn’t seen much of Scotland, and such a refreshing change to another coffee or meal.  By the time I’d arrived home, CJ had already texted to say what a great time he’d had and asked when I was next free.  Within six weeks there were city breaks and friends’ parties. Nine months later CJ moved in with me. 

He’s lazy, untidy and leaves the toilet seat up, but he’s the kindest, most supportive man I’ve ever met. He’s the BEST cuddler I know, has me in stitches every day and has taught me that kindness is vastly underrated. We got engaged last year and I know he’ll make a great dad one day…

Online dating with a disability isn’t easy. There’re worries about disclosure, awkward questions that need to be answered, and the likelihood of getting ghosted a little more often than you’d like.

But if you are meeting people in public places and staying safe then I’d say it’s worth a go.

Nothing is worse than not trying, and always wondering ‘what if’. Go for it, and you might be pleasantly surprised.

What are the best online disabled dating websites?

I am once again on The Apps looking at profiles that read “let’s go hiking or a long walk” or affectionately say “NO PSYCHOS NO DRAMA”. The thing is, I can’t hike and, to the untrained eye, I am full of drama. 

I was diagnosed with a connective tissue disorder when I was five that I was told I would grow out of. By the time I reached my early twenties, the teenage growing pains became unbearable and I had fatigue and several other debilitating other symptoms. Now in my thirties, disabled dating app, I'm disabled dating app with fibromyalgia, hemiplegic migraines, diabetes and other major illnesses that are just as uninteresting as those ones. All of these accumulate into a life where I have no energy and knock back opiates like Smarties.  

Now for the double whammy, disabled dating app. I have also been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), widely known as the most painful and most difficult to treat mental health condition. To briefly sum up, I live my life feeling emotions on 100/10, which also rapidly changes. So if someone ghosted you, you might feel a bit gutted for a few days, I simply want to die for a week. 

I don’t disclose my disabilities on my profile. I’m fat and six foot one; I don’t need to stack more odds against me. What I do have is a great face, disabled dating app, great chat and an amazing ability to tell if someone is a dickhead or not from the first five minutes of chatting. 

If we move to WhatsApp and it looks as though we will link up, I tell them straight away, disabled dating app. In my notes on my phone I have a prepared speech. The “I am disabled” speech. It’s funny, informative, piss-taking to lighten the mood and mentions I have a blue parking badge and great prescriptions as a nice incentive.

No one has ever blocked me or told me to fuck off. Some able-bodied disabled dating app have said that they know about being tired, disabled dating app. Quick tip for you: Unless you have chronic fatigue, don’t do that. I explain that any dates are limited to how I feel on the day. Long walks are out of the picture and there is a chance I could flake.

Once this is out in the open and they seem very cool, I like to then hit them with the “I am also extremely mentally ill”. Disabled dating app one has had mixed reviews. I try to explain that I have had lots of therapy and am good at managing it. If it actually goes somewhere, I will even explain how being left on read will trigger me and if possible not to do that. I have a deep need to be loved and any sense of being abandoned triggers a response that is so overwhelming it feels like physical pain and there is a gaping void inside me that needs to be filled. But I have to ignore it 100 times a day. Cheers, disabled dating app, BPD.

But not everyone likes to throw big disabled grenades into light-hearted chats like me, so I talked to other people who use apps to date about their experiences of sharing their disabilities to new partners. Some names have been changed by request to protect their privacy.

JOSEPH STASHKO, 31, LONDON

VICE: What disabilities do you have?
Joseph: I have a diagnosis of ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) and peripheral neuropathy [nerve damage that causes pain, weakness, numbness or tingling]. Basically, I got a virus in 2016 and just never really recovered. 

When and how do you disclose them during the dating app process? 
So I started off not disclosing at all. It really freaked me out that I’d have to, at some point, admit it disabled dating app people, disabled dating app. I only did dates near where I lived so that I wasn’t knackered by the journey and back. Once I started talking about it, the reaction wasn’t particularly great. Often, I think if you’re young, people can’t really conceive of the idea of you not being able-bodied and healthy. 

What have reactions been like?
There’s a spectrum of reactions running from understanding to just flat out not interested in dating me, disabled dating app. The vast majority of dating disabled dating app consist of interests like going to festivals, travelling, disabled dating app. Those were my interests prior to becoming disabled but it’s not something I can do now. People are confused at how someone who looks healthy and has great taste can also be very ill online dating asking if photos are current unable to do a lot.

What have dates been like?
Generally quite good! The thing is that if I’m feeling truly horrendous I’ve just had to cancel on people. I’ve definitely pushed myself beyond my limits in the past and suffered for days, weeks afterwards because I’ve been afraid to rock the boat. But I’m much better at that now, basically saying I’ve had a really nice time but I’m beyond knackered, please can you let this very floppy six foot four man get an Uber home. 

ALEX 

VICE: What disabilities do you have and what have your online dating experiences been like?
Alex: I've got spina bifida and I'm a below knee amputee. My profile has that I'm a part time wheelchair user and has pics both with and without the chair. If we start chatting I'll probably disclose more then without going into TMI territory. I'm using Bumble and Match. Most appear to be bots, disabled dating app, a couple have been real people assuming I'd be flattered with someone much younger taking an interest. I do tend to throw a joke in about the chair or my leg and gauge the reaction from there. I do wonder about having an 'explainer' ready.

CAITLIN M. KEARNS, 24, BELFAST

VICE: What disabilities do you have?
Caitlin: I have agoraphobia and a panic disorder and because of this I haven’t been further than 0.5 miles from my house in 15 months.

When and how do you disclose that during the dating app process?
I disclose them pretty quickly, for fear of someone suggesting meeting up, disabled dating app. I try to downplay it a bit as not to scare paying for dating sites off early on, though of course it does have an impact. Nine out of ten times it doesn’t go any further after I tell them. 

What have reactions been like?
Generally OK, though of course disabled dating app people are more sympathetic than others. I’ve not had anyone be nasty disabled dating app I have had some people being quite patronising about it. I’ve been living with this for nearly 10 years in various forms and it never gets any less exhausting or difficult having to disclose it to every new person I talk to. 

What have dates been like?
I live at home so although I feel comfortable having dates in my garden, it’s not ideal with my parents knocking about. Generally, I do Zoom dates, which aren’t ideal, but I make it work. I actually got into a relationship during lockdown. We started video calling and eventually met up at my house. Our relationship lasted for about 5-6 months before he ended it earlier this year. I assumed a big part of this was due to my inability to go out.

When and how do you drop your disabilities into conversation?
I usually wait until the other person mentions about meeting up and then I bring it up. I usually don’t use the word agoraphobic, I just say “I’m having a tough time getting out and about at the minute”, lol, and then if I chat to them on Zoom or they don’t seem like an arsehole I go into more details.

EM, 23, NORTH EAST

What disabilities do you have?
I have BPD and depression.

How do you disclose this to potential dates?
I wouldn't bring it up myself, theres such a huge stigma especially around women and non-binary people with BPD that they're always going to be toxic, abusive, manipulative that I was so scared that sharing who I am  would be an instant turn off for whoever I was talking to. I would more often than not wait until Disabled dating app was meeting someone in real life to open that can of worms. My body is covered in visible self-harm scars which meant if I didn't explain early gay latino dating apps that I would catch them trying to glance and soak it all in when I was looking disabled dating app have reactions been like?
I've been told "I think having scars and being crazy is kinda hot you know" which is a very concerning response. I have found that being romanticised is actually something that's happened to me on disabled dating app occasions. At the beginning it's almost like some people find it exciting? Especially the impulsive behaviour and lack of care I would have for myself, then eventually over time I would become less of an exciting and unpredictable, fun person to hang around with and more of a burden and that's usually how that one would end.

Another reaction I've experienced disabled dating app at the nudist dating site reviews end of the scale where people instantly feel sorry for you and seem to get an overwhelming urge to want to "fix" you. 

SAM

What disabilities do you have?
I have narcolepsy, PoTS, disabled dating app, interstitial cystitis, IBS and a whole slew of mental illnesses. More specifically, disabled dating app, I deal with PMDD, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, an eating disorder and some pretty intense social anxiety.

When and how do you disclose this during the early dating app process?
A lot of it depends on the person and what level of interaction I’m looking to have with someone, disabled dating app. For example, I probably wouldn’t disclose the specifics of my disabilities to a one-time casual sex partner. I might say something along the lines of “I have issues with mobility & energy levels, because of some chronic illness stuff” but wouldn’t go much further than that. 

However, I do disclose my disabilities to people who I’m seeing on a more long-term basis. I don’t really have a set timeline for that because relationship dynamics can vary from person to person. But I usually disclose my disabilities in stages, starting with the more obvious physical things like my narcolepsy. I’ll sometimes have discussions about my general mental health issues but the more vulnerable things, disabled dating app my ED and trauma, are usually the last to be shared.

What are the usual reactions you get from this?
When I’ve disclosed my disabilities in the past, reactions have ranged from caring but concerned, to visibly overwhelmed, to just genuinely supportive. I’ve learned to use people’s reactions to gauge whether or not I want to tell them more later on. I have yet to meet anyone who’s reacted in an openly shitty or ableist way but I’m still scared of it happening. That fear, along with internalised ableism, often holds me back from being more open with people.

How do dates go?
Dates have disabled dating app a mixed bag so far! I’ve gone on some really great dates, but I’ve also had rougher ones where I was going through a flare up or just exhausted. I’ll frequently find myself apologising for seeming distant or distracted; if I don’t, many people mistake me being “out of it” for a lack of interest.
