It is pathetic. I lost my damn legs as a single father in my mid 30s. I was worried I would no longer be able to successfully date at all. I dated just fine and eventually met my wife. Turns out that treating women as fully independent human people worthy of the same respect I wanted goes a long way. If you're an alt right chud who can't get laid, it's not your looks. Take it from a half man; It's who you are and how you see women.

At least your dating profile doesn't falsely say you're 6 feet tall.

Unless it does and you use it as a setup to a joke about losing two feet. In which case, good on you sir.

Oddly enough, on official paperwork that asks for height, I have to put what I used to be. That was 6'1. Hasn't been true for a decade, but when I question it, I get a shoulder shrug in response. My dating profile clearly stated how I'm disabled. My ID says I'm 6'1. That's bureaucracy for you.

Of all the women I know who date men I can’t think of a single one I would enjoy spending time with that would prefer dating a misogynist over an amputee single father. And that includes hikers and women who don’t want kids. Hell I’m pretty sure some friends of mine would be impressed by a guy managing to raise a kid without legs or a partner.

Im not a native English speaker and I thought "lost my legs" was an idome of some sort, especially because you wrote it in the same sentence as beeing a single father.

But no. You lost your legs. Litarly.

In regards to the rest of your post, absolutely 100 % on your side. I met my wife 2 years ago and it is the most beautiful relationship I ever had, mainly because we treat each other with the same amount of respect.
