I realized having to tell someone post-match/conversations prior to dates, I have minor cerebral palsy causes me anxiety and I think I’ve grown enough to weed out the people with kinks. It also goes against my character; I feel in a way like I’m hiding something. I’d describe my condition as having a mechanical claw on my left side with very little dexterity. Describing it this way lacks confidence in my opinion. Looking for suggestions to mentioning cerebral palsy within my OLD profiles. I thought using something gym-related but gym stuff is weird to some.

If a disability is going to be a deal breaker for someone may as well let them weed themselves out by swiping left than putting yourself through the anxiety of bringing it up later. Something like
“I lead a physically active lifestyle, in spite of cerebral palsy effecting my one hand, and you can find me at the gym often”
You’ve mentioned it and if someone wants more details later they can ask.
I want to clarify before I give unsolicited advice, are you asking if should you mention this in your profile, or how to word it?
Most people don’t understand CP & upon googling might be worried about the extent of symptoms possible. So I’d be as upfront as possible. And confidence is key. “Limited dexterity of my right hand, highly skilled with the left 😉”
