Cons

Demographic

It’s simple.

Deafs.com is aimed at people who are deaf or who have some form of hearing impairment.

In fact, those behind it claim it’s the biggest dating site of its kind in the world.

This isn’t a flash in the pan website either.

In fact, Deafs has been around since 2001 and in that time has built up a user base into the hundreds of thousands.

Here, people not only look for love, but meet new friends too, establishing friendships that last for a lifetime.

Deafs is much more than a website, it’s a community as well.

Ease of Use “mobile and desktop version”

Deafs provides a simple registration process where you can add your gender, the gender you are looking for (and yes Deafs is gay and lesbian-friendly), age range, level of deafness and location.

At this point, however, you will need to create your account through the webpage as Deafs doesn’t have an app.

You could make the process even faster by using your Facebook account.

Once you’ve provided the initial information there’s a bit more to do before you get access to the site.

This mostly focuses on helping you to create your profile which means you need to provide the following:

• Age
• Email address
• First name (which is kept private)
• Username
• Password
• Location
• Appearance parameters (height, ethnicity)
• Relationship status
• Profile picture
• Profile headline
• An “about me” section
• An “about your match” section

Make sure your address is a valid one because you will be sent a code to validate your newly setup account.

Without it, you cannot continue on the site.

Once you’ve done all that, you can access the Deafs website for the first time.

And while the layout is easy to understand and navigate, on the whole, the site is a little bland.

But that’s not a problem if it works effectively, right?

The best thing about taking the time to fill out your profile during the registration process is that now you can hit the ground running on the site.

A series of menus on the top of the screen are the main way to navigate Deafs and include links to other users, your messages and a community section.

Under that community section, you will have access to Spark.

This is a roulette-style matching game where you are shown other users near you and you can either skip or like.

If you like them and they like you in return, well then that’s a matchup and certainly worth exploring.

Searching for other matchups can be done easily enough with the search engine found on the homepage.

It has limited parameters, however such gender, age-range and location.

If you want more, you are going to have to upgrade to one of the membership options on the site.

That will provide another 12 parameters that you can adjust for your searches.

That will also give you the ability to message anyone you’d like to find out more about as free users can only send winks to other users as a means of communication.

Overall, however, the modular design of the site makes it so simple to use so although it’s not the most attractive dating site in the work, it’s very functional.

Deafs Cost

Other than the fact that membership provides extra search parameters and the ability to communicate with others effectively, a membership adds a host of other features.

For example, you can search by location, new members or see reverse matches just to name a few.

But what’s membership going to cost?

Well, Deafs offers three membership options:

• 1-month membership – $29.95
• 3-months membership – $59.95 ($19.95 per month)
• 6-months membership – $95.95 ($15.95 per month)

For the features you get, especially the ability to message other users with no limit to the number you can send as well as the extra search parameters, I think that Deafs is particularly well priced.

Other more mainstream sites often offer less but charge more.

FAQ

Other than using your credit card to sign up for a membership, PayPal is a payment option if you’d like to sign up for membership.

Simply select the package you want and then PayPal when it comes to the payment screen.

While this is a dating site first and foremost, it does offer some community features.

For example, you can read other user blogs as well as start your own.

Or what about browsing through hundreds of first date ideas from other members on the site?

Overall Rating

If you are deaf or have some other hearing impairment, then without a doubt, Deafs is a dating community that you should be considering.

While the site will require you to sign up for membership to use it to its full potential, its priced extremely competitively.

Plus it’s one of the biggest dating sites on the internet for the deaf community.

As for a rating, Deafs gets a well deserved 3.5 out of 5.

DeafSinglesMeet.com

Ratings

• Signing up – 5/5
• Making contact – 3/5
• Profile quality – 4/5
• Overall quality – 4/5

Pros

• You complete much of your profile during the sign-up process
• Slick design and easy to navigate
• Competitive membership pricing

Cons

• Search returns include users from other World Singles network sites

Demographic

DeafSinglesMeet is part of the massive World Singles network that has run online dating sites since 2001.

So yes, they know a thing or two about bringing singles together, that’s for sure.

This is a dating site that’s looking to bring deaf and others with hearing impairments together for long term relationships for the most part.

While user numbers aren’t readily available, during my time on the site, I found plenty of users near my location which isn’t a major city at all.

Ease of Use “mobile and desktop version”

For this website, I used the quick signup option using my Facebook account.

I am a huge fan of datings sites that provide social media access because it just speeds up the process so much.

If you’d prefer not to sign up in that manner, you are going to have to fill out the form that you will find on the registration page.

It’s pretty simple, really.

First select your gender and the gender you are looking for, your location, date of birth, email, username and password.

Once you’ve logged in, you are taken through an awesome profile wizard to help you flesh out your profile.

This cannot be skipped but it’s quick and worthwhile completing.

This includes appearance parameters, occupation, income, education, lifestyle parameters, marital status, religion, politics, if you have kids, if you want kids, ethnicity, languages and a profile picture.

While it seems a lot, it’s a simple point and click profile with little typing.

It takes around three minutes to complete.

Once you are on the site for the first time, you will immediately be shown some matchups to browse through.

DeafSinglesMeet is a beautifully designed site that’s fun to navigate.

And easy too.

There are only four menus that you will use to find your way around the site.

• Dashboard: This takes you back to the main page
• Search: Here you can launch parameter searches
• Chat: Here you can find any messages you’ve sent or those you have received
• Slideshow: This is a roulette-style matchup game

I want to talk about the search features first.

There are a number of parameters you can add based on profile information.

But if you are a premium member, there are even more parameters available that are also taken from user profiles, for example, appearance parameters.

That said, as a non-paying member, the search engine is pretty impressive.

Once you’ve found someone that you’d like to send a message to, well you are hamstrung as a regular user.

You can only like their profile.

Messaging is only for premium users.

And that means to use this site to find love, you are going to have to take out a membership.

DeafSinglesMeet Cost

DeafSinglesMeet offers one kind of membership, the Platinum option.

This does, however, have three different packages when it comes to the length of time you can sign up for.

They are:

• 1-month membership – $19.99
• 3-months membership – $44.97 ($14.99 per month)
• 6-months membership – $77.94 ($12.99 per month)

Other than the ability to message anyone – and even regular users can message you back – membership brings a host of extra features.

We’ve already talked about the added search parameters but membership also removes all adverts and allows you to promote your profile in other users’ searches.

I am sure you would agree with me that these features are pretty impressive, especially as DeafSinglesMeet’s pricing options are so low.

FAQ

Slideshow is a roulette-style dating game where you can scroll through potential matchups.

You move past those you don’t fancy but like those that you do.

If they then like you back, it’s a mutual matchup and well worth following up on.

If you ever need to block a user, you can do so by going to their profile and clicking on the three dots (…).

From there you can either block them or if their behavior warrants it, report them.

It’s a simple click in either case.

Overall Rating

DeafSinglesMeet impressed me, that’s for sure.

I love the overall design of the site and it’s so simple to use with just a few menus needed to find your way around.

I also loved the fact that the registration process includes filling in your profile.

Far too many dating sites don’t do this and all that means is loads of uncompleted profiles, which ultimately doesn’t help anyone, does it?

Finally, I want to talk about membership pricing.

It’s extremely well-priced and brings you loads of features other than messaging, which of course, you will need to make contact with others on the site. .

As for a rating, DeafSinglesMeet gets 4 out of 5.

Deaf Dating Zone

Ratings

• Signing up – 4/5
• Making contact – 3/5
• Profile quality – 5/5
• Overall quality – 4/5

Pros

• Lots of deaf users online
• You can learn sign language through the site
• Loads of features

Cons

• Pretty pricey membership

Demographic

Deaf Dating Zone is a popular international dating site for deaf people as well as those with other hearing impairments.

And it’s active too.

In fact, when I registered for the page said there were 1 500 people on site.

That’s very impressive for a niche dating site, that’s for sure.

I wasn’t able to come up with any other user numbers or a gender ratio breakdown but from my time on the site, I was able to find a host of suitable matches that would be worth following up on.

Ease of Use “mobile and desktop version”

Deaf Dating Zone is both gay and lesbian friendly and has a simple registration process that you need to follow to set up your account.

Other than the regular information like your date of birth, a screen name and a password, there are some specific questions that you need to answer that relates to your hearing.

For example, your hearing ability and the sign language you use.

That shows that this isn’t a rehashed website that uses profiles from a bigger parent dating site.

Once you’ve filled in the registration form – it takes around five minutes – you will need to activate your profile through an email link sent to you from the site.

And then you are free to start your search for love.

I must say, I love how Deaf Dating Zone looks.

It’s colorful and appealing and makes users the center of everything.

That means that as soon as you log into the site for the first time, you are greeted by a host of new members just like yourself to browse through.

Or you can launch a search of your own using the search tool on the left-hand side of the home page.

There is a basic search as well as an advanced search.

The advanced search, which includes extra parameters, is only available for members of the site, but the basic search does a great job.

Deaf Dating Zone also gives you matches.

You can access these by clicking on the “Browse” menu.

I just want to highlight another feature that the site offers that’s a great way to get to know other users.

And that’s a video chat feature.

Yes, you can chat in real-time with other users using your webcam.

This is a member-only feature, however.

Your other way of messaging is through a basic email messaging system which you can access on every user’s profile.

Again, however, this is only available for members.

So ultimately, other than sending someone a wink to show your interest, you are going to need a membership to use the site effectively, especially from a communication point of view.

Before we look into the membership of the site, I also want to talk about another feature that the site offers.

As part of the menus on the site, you will see something called “Flirt”.

Now normally on dating sites, flirting is when you go to someone’s profile and click on the flirt button to let them know you are interested in them.

Deaf Dating Zone does have this but it’s not called a flirt.

Instead, it’s called a like.

No, this “Flirt” option is something that all dating sites seem to be migrating towards thanks to the popularity of swiping, introduced by apps like Tinder.

“Flirt” presents a host of other users to you and you can either opt to flirt or move onto the next users.

Yes, it’s a roulette-style match-up game which can be useful, that’s for sure because if you flirt with someone and they flirt back, that’s a potential relationship worth exploring.

Deaf Dating Zone Cost

So now that we know that to effectively use this site, you will need a membership, let’s look into the pricing options available.

• 1-month membership – $39.99
• 3-months membership – $90.00 ($29.99 per month)
• 6-months membership – $150.00 ($24.99 per month)

You can also add $14.99 to each membership option to unlock the VIP package.

This provides you with all the features Deaf Dating Zone has to offer including

• Messaging
• Video chatting
• Profile visibility to all
• Priority listing in search returns
• Media galleries
• Advanced search features
• Text chat

Now while the pricing on the one-month membership might seem a little excessive, especially if you add the VIP feature, you have to understand that this is a website that gives you access to other people just like you.

I am not saying the others don’t it’s just that going to have to search a little harder.

Of course, if you plan on using the site for a longer period of time and you can afford the outlay, it makes sense to go for one of the longer packages that leads to better savings.

FAQ

Yes, Deaf Dating Zone does.

It’s called “Flirt” and you can access it from the main set of menus on the top of the page.

Over and above the regular membership options on the site, VIP membership means you can use all the features you find on the site.

It costs an extra $14.99 per month.

Overall Rating

If you are deaf or hard of hearing, I have no hesitation in recommending this dating site to you.

Not only is it filled with other deaf people looking for love but it’s so simple to register a profile and get online.

There are tons of features to use to find that someone special and the site will even provide you with matchups based on your profile parameters.

If you opt for membership, you have the chance to message other users or even video chat with them.

You can also learn sign language on the site.

How awesome is that?

Deaf Dating Zone deserves a 4 out of 5 rating, that’s for sure.
