Meant to reply earlier, sorry.
I don't have a lot to add as I generally agree. Deaf culture is fucking insane ("being deaf is not a disability!"
) - I know from having spent extensive time at both Gallaudet and RIT. I'm really surprised there aren't more deaf people here considering how devastating hearing loss is to social skills. Although maybe I shouldn't be surprised - they are the most bluepilled people I have ever met.
Not sure how old you are, but there are clinical trials going on now to cure deafness - see
https://www.decibeltx.com/. Hopefully you will be alive to one day see a cure although of course we can never catch up completely given the experiences we missed out on.
I recommend learning sign language even if you hate deaf culture. You can always just hook up with deaf girls, don't need to marry them. Depending on how much hearing you have, you could also geomax and find a deaf girl in another country.
Thanks for your input. Sorry to be late but I've been depressed and busy IRL, especially dealing with legal bullshit.
1) I never learned how to speak intelligibly while wearing hearing aids for hearing comprehension. It's much harder especially for ADHD like I had. I would love the cure, but this requires that I must develop hearing comprehension skills in conjunction with lipreading and intelligibly speaking skills.
(Edit: To clarify, I'm profoundly deaf in both ears. I'm okay at American Sign Language; my ASL skills are fair because of extensive isolation that I experience, even not seeing contact with ANY other deaf person in the region of approx. 700,000 hearie people where I live for years; it's like being a hermit monk or an anthropologist on Mars, to quote Temple Grandin.)
2) I agree on the deaf people being very bluepilled. Partly because of that reason, I am less inclined to interact with the deaf people, regardless of race, &c. While I don't doubt some deaf people are more intelligent than the average hearing normie people, they are still bluepilled to the point that they are as ignorant as the normie hearies.
3) I cannot bother with women, especially deaf women. Even if trying to geomax (I can't travel outside USA due to poverty). I'm now overweight and fugly.
And, as to myself, "hooking" up with deaf gals (if it involves having sex) is not moral in my view, unless she is a willing prostitute who should be clean (no STD, no HIV, not disgusting as a filthy whore, etc). I prefer to settle down (yes, married with the hopeful future of having children with a much younger woman, deaf or hearing), but given my current life, that dream is a mere fantasy.
To answer your question, I'm past 40 years old, which makes me a "wizard."
You of all deaf men should know that the rare attractive (fat and ugly female -- fairly common -- shunned by me, despite my flaws that can be fixed by gymmaxxing, but trying to get weight down) deaf gals ("foids") are really cynical, selfish and fairly dumb.
Naturally, deaf foids demand the same "wants" as the hearie foids.
4) I agree with your assessment that the deaf culture is "insane". I can't stand "deaf militarism", as in, deaf militarists.
I went to RIT very briefly. Dropped out and left for home state quickly but at an expense and with some regrets. I can't imagine Gallaudet being worse, but considering that RIT and Gallaudet are nominally radically left-wing, it's entirely possible that both institutions support
and communism as the mandatory (required to believe or be ostracized) orthodoxy.
Ergo, I'm not only ostracized (officially or not) by the deaf society, if it exists, but also off the edge of the society where I live.
Currently, I live and survive as a welfare-parasiting NEET. Tired of working the rare (if hired; hardly find a job because of [illegal] discrimination by ignorant hearie idiots) shitty jobs only to be disrespected. So fuck this corrupt society that's centered on ego and greed, I'm a leechmaxx.
