Well, I hope this doesn't make me sound like a pessimist and a whiner or even a nerdy science geek, but I think it's a toxic combination of biological/evolutionary and societal perception. From what we've learned about evolution, female species (not just humans) are biologically attracted to the healthiest and strongest males. The most "desirable" females often mate with the "alpha" males.
Because of the stigma that our society places on deafness, I think a lot of women are just biologically not interested in deaf/HoH men. We are taught from an early age that people with biological differences are "disabled," or "defective." And god, who would want to be with someone defective, right? For these women, deafness is not a trait that they want passed on to their progeny. I'm not saying that I believe deafness is an undesirable trait, or that all women think that, because I think that's a load of shit and I know some women understand that. But it's still a fact that society has placed that stigma on deafness, and it's been hard to shake. And I know for a fact that some women who start out being attracted to me before they talk to me, usually lose romantic interest after a few communication issues come up.
Now, if I'm able to demonstrate that my deafness is actually a desirable trait, and sometimes I do, then I've got a chance with those alpha male hearing dudes, haha. For example, I am told by many hearing women that I am a good listener (the irony! LOL!). What they perceive as good listening is actually me concentrating with all my might in order to understand speech. Still, that shows deafness as a desirable trait. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be enough
But it is nice to know that there are women like yourself that see the stigma for what it is (a lie) and don't let affect your biological attraction to deaf men.
I don't believe in Evolution, it got full of holes.
You should check out
www.BeforeUs.com, it will blow your socks off! Also,
www.halos.com. The point is, we never came from the apes, at all. There was no proof of transitory forms of species actually changing shapes from one species to another. Not one found in over 150 years since Darwin came up with the silly theory. Actually, his book was about the surperiority of WHITES over the so-called blacks and the reds, and the yellows and the blues and the greens.... it's so silly. Darwin's FULL title would tell you what he's theories is all about, silliness, that's all. So I disregards OLD ideas, for they are old form of elitism which is SILLY.
However, the bible, the REAL bible, King James Bible, is full fo truths. God created us from this earth. Lucifer came here and got us into trouble, thus we're SINNERS, and so we have these problems all over the place. It's easy to piece it all together, follow the trial and it's simple.
To me, women are the same as men, just with attractive packaging, that's all. The most important thing about women is to check their minds, their hearts, and most of all, their brains... what do they follow, what do they believes in, etc...
Biblical women are RARE gems, of high quality, and these are not drug addicts, nor are they boozers, nor are they sluts in sex clothes sashaying around in pubs and night clubs... these are modest women, and they're waiting for real men to see and they wants real Biblical men... and these women are the BEST!
It's hard to find them, though. Oh well.
As for SINNERS wearing sexy clothes and such things, drugging themselves stupid, drinking booze to fry their brains... like my ex, when I figures them out, I left my ex, I have no wish to go back to that life ever again. I would, however, welcomes one of them if they straightens out their act, but I doubt they'll will. They're LOSt, and completely DEAF to a better way of life.
Women who plays that "deafness is stigmata" or "deafness is disableness" game, are losers, they do not know what's real.
Every day, all humans are degrading, their bodies lose something, one or more organs fails, their heaing fails, their tongues lose taste, their skin itches, and so it goes... ever since the Great Flood, our world changed, and the very atmosphere lost the two-atmospheres that before the Flood was conducive to growing giant foods, but now, man had to eat whatever he can, and so we eat whatever we can and our body lose strength and degenerates over the generations, that's why DNA are NOT improving, but are falling apart over the years, it's why there are deafs, and other dis-able everywhere... and scientists are too blind to see this, because they prefers to believe and worships their evolution theory. They disregards what God wrote in the bible. That all things were made on this earth, we came from this earth, thus we needs minerals and vitamins, made by the plants that take the earth and transforms it into usable materials that we can absorbs in our bodies... our bodies wears out, some long, some slow, and so it does, no one is immune, we're all at the mercy of this planet and the glaring radation sheeting down from the water-canopy-less sky, wide open to the sun's harsheness...
No one is perfect. Yet women are full of themselves, they looks at what LOOKS perfect and never SEES underneath. Poor fools. I would not bother with such types, they're blind, prefering fantasy over reality.
Biblical women, however, knows reality and as such, they are valuable rare gems, and said as much by God. No worries.
It's all good.
