I agree that communication is tricky, but that does not mean that it will not work out. I've dated many deaf people in the past, and honestly, they never truly understood me. I've had many communication problems with deaf people in the past, too. Some people overreact to situations, but that is...

That is a horrible argument haha. Divorces happen ALL THE TIME with hearing couples, that doesn't prove much of anything, dude.

My boyfriend is hearing, forgot to mention that, haha. He takes ASL classes at RIT and he's been improving. It's a challenge but worth it!

I'm hard of hearing, and I've been with my boyfriend for a year and a month. It's definitely a challenge, but so what, we are all HUMAN and it doesn't matter whether we are deaf or hearing. Who says that deaf people MUST marry deaf people, and hearing MUST marry hearing? It's complete bullshit...

Sushi is amazing. If anyone is ever in the Rochester area (I go to RIT) you have to check out California Rollin'... it is the best sushi ever

gossip is gossip, regardless if we are deaf or hearing - and the fact of the matter is, humans love drama! It is a simple fact of humanity, whether we wish to accept it or not. some of us do not act on it much, while some of us do. this whole idea does fascinate me, I mean we aren't bad people...

Haha I think that's pretty hilarious... my hearing friends tell me all the time that they think I'm lucky that I'm deaf sometimes, because I can avoid having to hear annoying sounds that bother them, or a conversation that they dont want to listen too. As much as I understand that, it makes me...

This is one of the topics within the deaf community that has always interested me... I can speak well and I'm very oral (but I have been involved in the deaf community since I went to a deaf school for years when I was 10 and have been mainstreamed my entire life) so I do not understand what it...

I understand what you mean, when at the same time, you can't exactly blame them because some hearing people just have not been exposed to deaf community and do not understand. This is simply due to the fact that they are uneducated. Well, most of them, at least. They are uneducated about deaf...

hi hi, i just got on this thing, pretty sweet deal. I'm Ariel, from RIT, I'm 21, hard of hearing, and I think sudoku is amazing. yes indeed
