Money and Women

When my husband and I were dating I always paid every other meal. I couldn't afford it but that's what I did. Years later after we were married he told me that's one thing he loved about me. Something worked because we are very happily married going on 25 years. Relationships to me, are a give and take!!!
Even when I'm feeling bad with my health, I always make it a point to compliment him about his looks or something he has done for us. Sometimes something so simple can make someone's day. Love can be awesome. I feel sorry for the people who don't get the chance to share their lives with someone they love!!!!!

Well, I am hearing, and I guess I am in the minority here because I am not actively looking for a deaf man. That said, my current crush just happens to be deaf. I can understand deaf wanting to date deaf...it means a greater chance of finding someone who uses the same language and can likely relate to your point of view. This is, of course, not a guarantee for relationship success, but may up the odds.

But I wonder about those who specifically look to date out of their culture. It seems to me this is asking for potential conflicts. Not unbeatable odds, if both partners go in expecting to have to work at it, both willing to make concessions for the other. As I said, my current crush is deaf. I didn't go looking for a deaf guy to flirt with (which is hard for me to do in English, let alone in ASL, but that is another story!). I simply met a guy and think he is really nice and pretty nice-looking, and he happens to be deaf.

So, in my humble and mostly theoretical opinion, the idea of dating outside your auditory ability is like dating outside your race. Right or wrong, some people will only date their own race, some seek the other race because they find that attractive, and some will date any race, if the person seems worth dating.

Actually in terms of dating, you are in the majority as most ADers are not looking here for a date.

Oh, I just meant that there seemed to be a lot of posts about hearing women who were specifically seeking out deaf men. Just my thoughts about seeking people specifically who could be likely have a different cultural and/or language background.Not that there were singles here looking to hook up via this forum. I should know better than to post at 12:45am when I'm half asleep.

OMG. You guys crack me up!

My boyfriend and I have been together for five years, and I'm really happy. I'm hearing, and he is deaf. When we met, I was not LOOKING for a deaf guy to date. It just happened that we met and really hit it off well. He is the smartest, best looking man I've ever been with, and I'm the happiest I've been in a very long time.

With me, it just comes down to this: I am an open person and an open minded one. I don't let things be barriers that other people let be barriers. I just believe in opening myself up to people I meet and like.

If we had not met online, I can't say what would have happened. When we met, I knew no sign language, except for some finger spelling, so he would have had to make the first move. I simply would not have known how to approach him and converse with him. He was great about preparing me for our first face to face meeting, so I knew how things would go.

Would I date another deaf man? Sure. Why not? People are people. *shrug* (Hopefully, that will not be an issue! This guy's a keeper! )

Hmm... surprising finding. I have always thought the opposite. It always seemed to me more Deaf guys date hearing women than vice versa. I know there are many more hearing females than hearing men who learn to sign, join the Deaf community, become interpreters, ect.

Regardless, all that matters is that the couple is happy (and yes, communication has a lot to do with that). Also you have to be dating them for the right reasons! Not because you are hearing and want to learn sign language so you date a deaf person... Not because you are Deaf and only think you are allowed to date other Deaf people... Or because you don't want your children to be born either haeing or Deaf... These are all silly reasons to date a person! Fall in love first you silly people!!

I'd be interested to know what the gender ratio is on this site? You certainly can't tell by the forums.

IMO, I don't think being hearing is a deal breaker for either gender of deaf. In fact, I'd argue that socially and possibly even genetically all humans strive for a perfect mate(there a great deal stake in that decision).

We don't care if people can hear. We care that people can understand.

I am guessing (hard to tell gender based on the avatar or usernames) that there is nearly 2 to 1 ratio of females to males here. Might even be as high as 5 to 1... just a wild guess.

That would be amazing as I've never been on a site that had more women than men. IMO, guys are usually the ones who stay in and play on the computer.

Just saw this thread. I was born with severe hearing loss in the 85db category. I'm now 32, but I never knew I was classified as "deaf" until I got an audiogram the other day for some hearing aids. I always struggled with speech and hearing in school and social situations. I also have the "deaf talk" that is what depresses me more than the inability to hear clearly. I honestly don't care about not being able to hear like a normal person, but I still struggle with confidence in speaking in public. Realize that the great leaders of history have been in our shoes, too. In the Bible, the prophet Moses had a speech impediment, so he let his brother Aaron do the talking for him on Mount Sinai [Exodus 4:10].

However, with that said, I've never had any problems dating hot women. Never had much rejection until I started being very self-conscious about myself. Once I fixed that, the flood gates poured open. At work I have women after me which could care less about my "disability". I'm good looking, but nothing moreso than people on this site. I don't have much status..as a matter of fact I am sort of a loner. But, I love that kind of lifestyle. A nomad. Wandering way-farer.

Good luck to the guys on here. It's also a numbers game out there.

I'm a hearing woman, and I would be perfectly happy to date a deaf man. Quality of hearing is not a deal breaker in any way, but quality of personality is everything.

OK, you have a point. I've never known a woman to be without her phone.

Both of those statements, truth x2, just the way I feel.

yes I completely agree. The ability to hear shouldn't stop people from dating; as long as they're willing to try as hard as they can to understand each other, in this case literally and figuratively.

I am also a single male ( 34 years old) and hope to share my life with someone. I am straight and from Ghana. It is so hard to find the right one, especially for me, but I won't lose faith. I believe God will send her to me someday.
