Would you date someone with a disability?
Posted by: gis3ll3 Date: May 21, 2008
Hope this post doesn't cause offence cos that's not my intention. Just wondered what everyone's thoughts were. My friend (yes, a friend not me) met a guy online and was smitten with his pics etc. and finally met. She then discovered that he was hearing impaired. She wasn't sure what to think but she said she was probably more disappointed that he didn't tell her in the first place. She ended up seeing him for a few months anyway. Anyone else with similar experiences?

i dont want to sound shallow or blow smoke up my own bum either but i have dated a girl who had a hearing impairment. it wasnt a huge deal, i didnt even notice at first...we met at a loud noisy club and she heard me better than an able hearing person may have as she was reading my lips the whole time. it wasnt until we met up for coffee a week later that i realised! i felt like a bit of an idiot. but she was that skilled that you would have never guessed.
my opinion is that when someone has something that may be viewed as a handicap they generally work on being a better person than someone who is goodlooking and healthy and has no reason to work on self improvement. like all of my funniest mates tend to be heavier guys and its as though they work harder on their personailities and other more important things than wait for the beauty or whatever to fade before realising theyre not interesting people. does that make sense? thats my opinion but yeah i'd say give everyone a fair go whatever the situation.

He won't be able to hear her complain or bitch about stuff. it could be a perfect relationship...? If its meant to be it will be. Its not lilke he's missing an arm or a penis...!

I know this is an old topic, but Im new!. The reason the guy may not have said anything at first is for the fact all people judge books by their cover's, no matter what they say!

So he would have wanted her to give him a go in person, before she made up her mind. I know this from experience as I have a disability. As soon as I say something about it, then Im instanly dismissed even though they have said they like my profile and everything that Im about!

I don't blame individual people, because Im aware its society and people árent encouraged to live outside the box.
