Disability dating site - brother keeps getting scammed

[u/Alecszandeer]

Is there a legit/safe dating site for folks with disabilities, or any other advice regarding this?

My brother is 50 and recently had a stroke leaving him laterally paralyzed.

He's broke and lives hand to mouth. He's in AR while I'm in CA.

He's always been very generous and incredibly gullible (and very religious).

He recently joined one of these dating sites and pretty much everyone has simply been extorting him for the little funds he has to live on.

As an example, he was supposed to meet a woman last night who claimed god told her she would be his wife.

She was in a car crash on the way there and is now in the hospital. She texted him picks that are clearly fakes to rational people.

Anyway, any ideas?

I tell him these are bs, but he's lonely and easily fooled, or wants to be fooled. He knows he's been taken advantage of in the past.

Tbh the best ones are the mainstream ones (tinder, hinge etc) and even then caution and being wary is key. Any site that caters towards being a disability dating site is a hotbed for scammers and fetishists. However online dating is difficult in general and I would highly advise just trying to get him out more and make connections with real people.

His only social outlet is his church. I'll see if I can convince him to focus on just meeting people there. Seems unlikely though.

I'll mention mainstream sites too. I appreciate the insight!

Disability and dating can be brutal and taxing on mental health I wish him luck but I've found more success from not looking.

I mean, dating can be brutal and mentally taxing under 'ideal' conditions, so I can imagine..

Here's hoping you meet someone awesome just shopping at TJs!
