Hello there,
I am a 27 year old woman, 5'6", 115 lbs, curly red hair. Sounds like I could be attractive.
I use a wheelchair for mobility.
Yes, people stare.
Yes, people talk about it and ask about it.
I steer the conversation away from my physical ailments, towards more interesting things. They soon find that I have a personality beyond my lower half. I've been told that people can see my inner fire from across a room.

I have more confidence in myself now than I did when I was completely able bodied. Not because I look better, but because I look worse, and have discovered that it is true, looks don't matter too much.

Yes, people will look twice at the girl wearing hardly anything that has the perfect body.
Yes, men will want to sleep with her.
If she doesn't have brains and a personality, that's all they'll do.
I'm assuming you're a woman, because if you are a man I'd just say grow a goatee.
As a woman myself, I've learned that the guys that are younger than 23 (aprox) will put a lot of importance on looks, whereas a guy with a little experience under his belt will look for something that will keep him entertained for more than a half hour at a time.
