Psychiatrically disabled people are often pleasant company in social interactions, with just a question-mark to close observers about their level of independence. The standards war debate of the "that" era of the singles scene in the 80s and early 90s highlighted the fact that many people in bars and elsewhere were striving for dishonorable or immoral singles behavior, and were also leaving out squares and all men and women who weren't perky or witty enough for quick, ready fun. Can it be perceived as adequate for a marriage or life partner if a less-than-perfect disabled person finds a supportive lover with a boost from friends, family, and community with extra effort of others that may or may not be offered to a healthy person? A few successful mental health consumers are great enough to be seen as eccentric and desirable in history or mannerisms that a Playboy Bunny out of Vegas would accept a role as a caring coach and relationship. Do you think its fair to act egalitarian and kind to assist a mental health consumer find a needed mate of high quality?
