i dated a deaf girl on and off for 8 years, lived with her for 2.5 years... had no problem with it. only complaint is that she used it to become the "hapless victim" all the time. like it was some sort of scapegoat.
i would never date another handicapped person, i've actually made it one of my pre-requisites in dating.
1) No handicapped girls
2) No Jewish girls
3) No White girls
4) No born & raised California girls
5) No Bisexual girls
Say what you want about my requirements, after years in the dating field you start to know what you want after you've tried everything.... luckily i have found a fantastic girl that fills all of these requirements and i couldn't be happier.
