Disabled Dating Tips
Wider search policy! Some disabled dating sites could have fewer singles on them. So make sure to be liberal with your search radius.
Don't forget about a profile photo! If you want anyone to contact you back on disabled dating sites, then you'll have to have a profile photo. No one wants to talk to a faceless person.
Meeting new people is never easy, especially for people with disabilities. But with dating sites for disabled singles like DisabilityMatch, meeting people is a whole new game! With 12 million profiles in the Dating Factory (who own DisabilityMatch), you're bound to find someone special.
After creating a profile for free, you can start things off by checking out their “Flirt” section. Here you can flirt with a member and maybe they will feel the same way about you. Additionally, you have the normal features that you find with other dating sites, like messages, chat and a search/browse members function.
DisablilityMatch.co.uk also has a mobile site that is compatible with any tablet or smartphone, so you can check your message on the go.
One thing you should be aware of: with the trial membership, your messages are only kept for 72 hours. You need to upgrade to keep your messages longer and talk to matches.
With a Gold and VIP membership you can view media galleries, gain access to advanced search facilities, chat online via webcam, have the possibility to use the text chat, send, read and reply to an unlimited number of emails and comment on member’s diary.
Although the design of the homepage seems to be still in the late 90s, once you are inside the design is more modern.

DeafMatch.co.uk is a disabled dating platform for deaf singles who’re looking for love and friendship. There are around 1,500 members that were counted so it seems to be on the right track and is also quite specific.
Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to a lot in the way of features specifically aimed at deaf people… Although their video chat features are useful for those who want to communicate via sign language. This is something we found rather good.

For unlimited communication and seeing who has visited your profile, prices for subscription start at £6.99/month.
