Well we re talking two different things. If it s for fun and good time, yea i dont mind dating hearing women. I have done this many times before. But when I m looking for serious realtionship or settle down, I would prefer to have deaf woman for personal reasons.

Yes I know about the probability of having deaf or hearing child. But it would help to increase a chance to have deaf child if you marry someone who come from strong deaf family (dominant deaf gene). If your spouse is hearing and you have hearing child, who do you think child will listen more to?

dude, deafness is not hereditary. there is no Deaf gene. and dating deaf women for personal reasons? i don't see any. a deaf woman is just the same as a hearing woman, she just can't hear thats all. each woman, deaf or hearing, has her own personlality. hey, i would date a Deaf guy, it would be pretty cool. or i would date a hearing guy. i don't see how being Deaf makes the woman more preferable than a hearing woman. so you better rethink your whole perspective on dating.

For people who doesn't think 'deaf gene' exist, here's the infromation about how deafness is being passed down generation:

Deafness - connexin 26

Yes deafness is heredity.

He is right.

I have a Deaf brother. He has a Deaf daughter. It is all due to our family genes.

vithios · 09-22-2006, 06:14 AM

i have an asl teacher, she is hard of hearing in one ear and she used to be an interpreter, and she agrees with me that there is no Deaf gene. Deafness is caused by either by damaging of the inner ear or any of the ears organs, like by a viral infection or trauma to the ear.

True, it's best to leave optional more wide. Mean more chance you find right mate to be with for life.

Of course, the communicate is key in relationship. I always left my optional wide as I dating alot hearing girls more than deaf. Only different that I had long relationship on hearing than deaf.

By the way, it's best to use myspace.com, once you know their friend and their friends, it would be easy to make some comfortable by meet new person.

Yes its what counts on the inside but on the other hand, do your hearing family members love you no matter what? Same with the hearing loved one, during converstations at the family functions it does matter. The hearing "partner" will forget to interpret everything and so does the family members who forget youre deaf and as a result get left out.... Its one of the reason why i do not date hearing people.

I do aplaud deaf people who have hearing partners, and its up to each one's perference, in todays time and age it is possible to select what you desire in a partner thru online dating.

look. you shouldn't stereotype all hearing ppl just because of your personal experiences. like i said. not all people are the same. A Deaf person could be dating a hearing person and forget that they are hearing and not translate to the hearing person, whether it be by handwriting or gestures.

I KNOW there is a Deaf gene but dont understand why he/she thinks there is NO deaf gene *rolling eyes* I know so many Deaf families and even my own doctor said that since my mother had 2 Deaf children out of 4 children is related to Deaf gene - and now my brother has a Deaf daughter. It is clear that the males in our family carry that Deaf gene as I have two hearing daughters.

i asked a biology teacher today, and he said that there are several hearing genes. one of them gets mutated and thats how one becomes deaf. there is no deaf gene. just a mutated hearing gene.

vithios · 09-22-2006, 11:04 PM

it even says so in that article that kingofnoobs posted. it says that there is a mutation of one gene that makes one deaf

That is true...I also asked my biology teacher, but she did warn me that if I had a kiddo, it would be a great possibility because of the genes, that my child could be deaf...that scared me for a while...am over it now!! I consider a child as a blessing!!

i forgot to add that my best friend's husband did have dna test done at gally and he do carry the 26 genes and the result is that he is a carrier and will be able to have deaf baby hence why their daughter is deaf. as for my best friend's sister's husband. he havent had the dna test but obivously baby is deaf so possible that he have the 26 genes. i havent heard back from her yet if her husband do have gene. the female will not carry the gene but the male do carry gene. so obivously it is heredity. cuz their pregancies were fine. nothing wrong .. they didnt get sick or anything like that. so the result is from heredity.

is the human DNA fully understood and figured out? have science figured out every single gene? the last time I stepped a foot in a high school biology class was a couple of years ago and yes science has made so many advances so I'm curious if your biology teacher is a high school teacher or a professor from a college? It does make an difference on how valid your argument is ^_^

he is a high school teacher that knows his stuff. now if you want me to get someone who looks up like a million resources just to get the facts then i will cause she is like the Queen of resources and kind prove or disprove anything. but the biology teacher does know his stuff. why else would he be a biology teacher?

I joined tagdeaf.com, pretty cool but theres only like 5 thousand members....and it doesnt say what state or city users are from?

I dont like 'pay for' dating websites, because they put in a lot of fake profiles in there. Paid for websites restrict the number of users willing to register and pay, and that means less users that would actually be dating.

People usually shy away from "dating websites" they'd rather go to places like myspace, bebo, tagdeaf is pretty good, just needs more people.

Tag deaf's browse feature sucks, you cant do a search on a state unless you put in the specific zip code. Site is really really slow too.

It's really annoying how it lists everybody by country, even the ones in the United States, you cant list by state. Maybe this is hindering tagdeaf's success.

zips · 10-16-2006, 03:17 PM

There seems to be quite a lot of deaf dating sides in the US but the Brit ones are very limited. I have only had serious hearing loss for 3 years and have worn 2 hearing aids for 2 yrs during which time I have not had one date!! I find it hard to feel confident when I remove them and men react in a "trying not to show a reaction way" which puts me straight off....I would love to meet someone who just understands!!! It's not too much to ask....just need to find a decent Brit Deaf site for dating LOL

Any ideas????
