If you walked weirdly with an odd gait how much of a big deal breaker would that be in the dating world? Obviously if you date someone who walked 'weird' you would probably feel embarresed to be seen with them in public and also it might make a very negetive first impression becuase even if your persoanality is kinda normal they might make a negetive pre judgment before they even speak to you.

so would walking oddly be a complete deal breaker? I am guessing it would be?

I take the whole person into consideration, and that wouldn't bug me particularly. That said, I probably have some things that would annoy me that other people would find shallow, and I've spent a lot of time working for and socializing with people with disabilities.

No. But I'm mid-thrities, I'm guessing a girl your age might me inmature enough to care about such thing, but maybe not. I wasn't when I was that age, but don't think that helps.

Both my husband and I walk strangely. So it's not a deal breaker for me.

It wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me at all. (I find that sort of awkwardness kinda cute, actually.)

Nope wouldn't be for me, chances are when you're dating someone you look past their walk because you're attracted to them, hey you might even like their walk.

For the cliché: It shouldn't be a deal-breaker, and if it is the person is too immature and she's not worth the trouble

That wouldn`t be a deal breaker for me either. I kind of have an odd gait too, and I am hoping if someone doesn`t like me it is for something far more important than that!

I agree with this. I'm 20 and it probably wouldn't bother me, but that's just me.

I was with a guy with a somewhat awkward gait (I'm pretty sure he's an aspie), and it didn't bother me.

I once dated a girl who had cerebral palsy. Her gait was awkward and jerky at times, but she was a lot of fun to be with, and I wasn't embarrassed to be seen with her in public.

No, it wasn't a deal-breaker at all.

Not a deal breaker.

No. I'm interested in a guy who walks with a small limp and it doesn't bother me at all as I'm distracted by how charismatic he is. Physical disabillity means little to those with a lovely personality, which I'm sure you have as well OP.

My primary turn-ons have always been stimming and an odd gait.
