I don't mean verbally mute by choice, but a person who's physically incapable of speaking for whatever reason. Do you think a person with this trait could even have a fulfilling relationship? And how would you try to communicate with said person, would you be willing to learn sign language or would you communicate through notes?
I look at the whole person so if he is mute, that is just one aspect of his personality but I would rather be with a guy who has a disability than a guy that is angry and disrespectful. If he can pass my personality standard, his disability would only be a minor problem for me but I would take care of his needs and not trivialize his struggle or act like it’s not important to him.

A lot of their frustration would have to be expressed physically, which could be cute, depending on how violent they'd get. It'd be quiet in the house, that's for sure. I don't know if it would be a fulfilling relationship. There are certain things that we just wouldn't be able to experience.
Would I learn sign language to communicate with my partner? Yes.
Would we be communication through notes? Well I expect that to happen from time to time.
Sure. Why not. I can partially sign…enough to carry basic conversation
Do you think a person with this trait could even have a fulfilling relationship?
Of course. They can't talk, they're not crippled or diseased. Non verbal communication is a thing.
And how would you try to communicate with said person, would you be willing to learn sign language or would you communicate through notes?
Notes, speak and spells, texts etc

Not into dating but having muted friend/best friend is fine for me. I find too much talk annoying. Also, i know some sign language, it help to communicate, and tbh i don’t think muted people different than the rest of us, they are just less annoying.
The conversations would be pretty quiet...
Joking aside, it's not simply a matter of dating, but dating anyone with a disability means taking on extra responsibility.
No, I like to be able to have a conversation with someone and how would I know what they want or what they’d want to say if they don’t talk?
It would not bother me if the person was mute. I've been teaching myself how to sign for the last 6 months and would keep practicing.
No, quick and complex intelligent conversation, the same sense of humor, an attractive voice, and random verbal silliness is something I need in a relationship.
If I can develop a way of communicating with them I sure would. Communication with each new person is learning experience anyways.
I would and I did. It’s not as difficult to communicate as you think in my case she could read my lips and I started to learn sign language.
Im a talker and i need a talker whos also a listener since im not a listener
Possibly. Learning ASL might be too difficult, but I could communicate by text.
I would prefer to date somebody who can actually speak.
Yes. As long as he hears my insults and humiliations and it drives him crazy is everything okay.
I would I would just have to learn sign language.
I don't consider a girl being mute as an issue that would influence my perception of her negatively.
I'd do it. She'd have to be patient with me as it's hard for me to remember things like gestures.
Yeah, I'm fine with it. And yes, I would learn sign language
Yes I would, and yes I would learn the sign language.
It sounds a bit like taking advantage. No.
Yes, I’d just learn sign language
Sure, I'm good in learning languages.
Maybe it depends
