Cheers for the reply guys
I appreciate it!
It is a difficult situation really, you wouldn't believe the amount of women I've met with bitch shields!

It's very frustrating as all my mates have absolutely no problem in meeting women and I'm sick of watching them pair off or develop relationships.

I'm losing motivation and drive as a result. You go out one weekend, no success then you think "I'll make it happen next weekend", come next weekend, no success then you go out again the weekend after, same thing happens! It's a cycle and before you know it...a few years has passed!

Any PUA's on here from the North East of England?

Dude! I am deaf too. I am from VA but going to school in DC (Ever heard of Gallaudet University? I'm sure you have). I completely understand what you are going through. Except that I can't speak and it is tough sarging at clubs trying to communicate many hot chicks. You should be lucky that you can speak. Don't worry about your deafness. It define who you are but it's not your personality. Don't make your deafness a big deal. If a chick stare or ask about "that thing in your ear", don't say and pity yourself "I'm deaf". Just say "It's just hearing aids". Chicks would love to learn sign language. Teach them! Kino them! Be proud who you are! Be confidence and game any girls you want! Fuck those chicks who laughed at you when you told them that you are deaf. Good luck, man. Whenever you are in DC, hit me up. I'd love to hang out with you in person someday.

Hey man,

I've got a pretty severe stutter, and I know exactly what you mean. Even though I do know a breathing technique that can make me more fluent, the social anxiety (due to being different) makes it hard for me to use it, so I often end up stuttering a lot, with facial distortions etc People, especially women, usually react to my speech negatively (Stares, giggles) UNTIL I tell them that I stutter... then things become a bit smoother (not smooth enough, hence I joined this forum today lol)

I believe that our best shot is to 'introduce the elephant' and if we're cool about it, then they're automatically more comfortable with it (people seek social cues to figure out how to react or behave)

My only concern (and I'd like some thoughts from others) is that women are programmed to discriminate genetic fitness. So sometimes I worry that a 'negative difference' immediately triggers an emotional distance in women. On the other hand, I believe that we can become successful career wise and be open to adoption, that the women won't see this genetic weakness as an obstacle...thoughts?

I don't have too much new to say. As far as height goes, no matter what they are saying isn't a big deal. It either means the girl is a bigger prude than you want to get involved with, or (more likely) she's trying to point something out other than your hearing aids that she can comment on because she's afraid of insulting your disability. Don't worry about the jibes.

What I think may really help is to get a wing that can boost your game. It will really help to have someone else there taking the shots for you and being able to tell the girls to cut it out, then you just trying it yourself. It's true for anyone, but especially for you, because like you said, my first guess is that you have low confidence, stemming from feelings that you don't quite fit in. The wing can definitely anchor you and get you all the confidence you need. I'm sure there are a ton of guys out there who would be more than happy to wing you.

Guys look up Sean Stephenson. He's a major inspiration for me.
I have my share of flaws (asthma, mild but noticable scoliosis, defect in my right heel) but I still feel privileged I am able to run, play sports and workout.

Sean doesn't have all that but he is living life to the fullest even more than I am.
