Let's say that 2 people meet. One person likes cars with turbocharged engine. The other does not. They get married. Maybe the person who likes turbocharged car will learn to live without turbocharged cars. Maybe the person who does not like turbocharged engine will learn to like turbocharged engine.

We see a Cowboy fan marrying a Redskins fan. Philadelphia Eagles fan marry a New York Giant fan. Bears fan marrying a Packers fan. Life goes on.

Why is it that people complain that their significant other does not want to learn ASL? It's kind of like expecting someone who does not like cars with turbocharged engine to be forced to like those turbocharged engine? If it's important, I'm sure the person would find someone who does like those turbocharged engine in the first place. Same thing with learning ASL.
 
You are not making good comparisons. It doesn't take that much education to be a fan of a sporting event or to like a certain type of car. On the other hand, it does take extensive education to learn a new language. And, lets face it, most people lack the drive to take the time to learn something for that long.

Should everyone compromise? Yes. Will everyone compromise? Not likely.

so why compromise by dating a hearing girl?

Good question. Each to their own, I guess.

no no. I'm asking you. why do you want to date a hearing girl or a girl who doesn't know ASL?

I chose to date a girl who knows ASL (either deaf or hearing).

I was in a 2 year relationship with hearing girl who struggled with ASL. It was too much on me. I'm taking a different approach now.
 
Why not put it out there that you want a woman that is fluent in ASL, loves cats, thinks turbochargers rock, and and what ever else, there are women out there that are all of that and way more, into their own unique things. Have you checked out Tumblr. com? That is a fun way to find some like minds.

Interesting. I did not check that one.
 
Football is 3 days a week (ok, Thursdays only half count) for 4.5 months a year. You communicate with your partner constantly. Completely different to me.

I'm lucky my husband is willing to learn/do whatever he needs to do to communicate with me. I don't think I could ignore it if I weren't important enough to him for him to learn, even though we didn't know my hearing would get this bad when we married.

I put in some tumblr tags for turbos etc. Whoa ... there was some smokin' smokin' hot engine porn on there. One site beautifulengines.tumbr.com was way exciting well then I went on to cats I am allergic myself but I still get a kick out them dogs too but anyway they have thousands of great cat pics in there on different sites. Lots of very creative stuff happening there. Like carpentry and woodworking? There are some master master craftspeople in there. You name it whatever you are interested in there are people jamming away having a good time with their tumblr sites and you bet that includes women of all manner of interests including some of the most smokin' hotness it redefines hot to something like the surface of the sun. Maybe hotter than that.

Wow, I like antiques. Not into carpentry or woodworking. Wow, you're making me smoke!!! I may spend all day on tumblr.com if I'm not careful. Thank you for the tip, buddy :).
