For some people, it is hard for them to find their soulmate. They may feel that there is no one who is interesting in their circle so that they may need the help of dating websites. For disabilities, you are able to get help from a number of best dating websites for people with disabilities as explained below according to the Askmen site.
Glimmer
This dating site has a tagline which says ‘be proud of who you are’. They also have a mission to create a more transparent and inclusive community for singles. On this dating site, it is not mandatory to disclose your disability. And also, you can modify it at any time. Let’s say that you do not want to reveal your disability when you create your profile for the first time on the site. Then, after a while, you may change your mind and you want to reveal it. If it happens, you are able to modify it.
The founder of Glimmer app, Geoffrey Anderson, had an inspiration to launch Glimmer after he noticed that his brother who has cognitive disabilities was not having much success on some of the more mainstream dating apps. He said to Buzzfeed that he did not like the fact that people felt the need to get rid of their disabilities simply because if they have one, it is often stigmatized.
In Glimmer, it is important for you to note that not everyone on the website has a disability. However, you are able to be sure that people who have joined the website are obviously there because they can accept and are open-minded to find love in any form.
After you have joined Glimmer, you are allowed to search members based on what you are looking for, such as partners, friends, other parents of people with disabilities, or based on shared interests such as travel, music, gaming, sports and many more. Filtering out members by their specific disability such as quadriplegic, post-traumatic stress disorder, OCD, ADD, autism, or visual impairment, can be done by you.
Disability Matching
You may be looking for new friends or soulmate. If so, this dating app is one of the platforms that can be used. This app is free to download. However, if you use free service, you will only get a limited number of messages per day. If you want to get rid of this limitation, you are able to upgrade to premium membership for a one-time fee of $12.99 so that you are able to get unlimited messages and advanced search filters. By upgrading to premium membership, you are also able to keep a list of your favorite users, see who has seen your profile, and add more exciting details to your profile. Besides, if you upgrade your membership, it allows you to set your profile match criteria so that you are able to personalize your experience while you are setting your GPS location to find specifically for users who are nearby. Even you have chances to promote your own profile to the top of the results so that you will be able to be seen by more members.
The reviews about this app in the App Store says that the app is very simple and straightforward to use, from the time you sign up to the time you begin messaging other users.
Prescription4Love
The founder of Prescription4Love had an inspiration to create this site from his late brother who is a man with Crohn’s disease and he struggled with dating. On the website, he explains that he thought if he met someone at a website where everyone had the same condition, there would be nothing to disclose.
This website went live in 2006 with 11 conditions. However, it has grown significantly because now it includes 36 conditions such as anxiety disorders, deafness, bipolar disorder, epilepsy, diabetes, and even STDs.
This website is free to use. You are not even required to make a profile. On the website, you are able to do a quick search to see who is online by entering criteria for what gender and age range that you are interested in and also your zip code. If you want, you are also permitted to choose a specific disorder if you want to filter out members that way. Even though you are not required to make a profile, it will be better if you create one so that other people may know you and they may be interested in you.
After you have found someone that you like, you are able to add them to your favorite list or you are able to email them directly from the search results.
Dating4Disabled
This website is aimed to help people with any kind of disability meet like-minded people for relationships and friendships. The site is free to use. If you are a non-paying member, you are able to get one free point per month and it can be used to read an email from another user.
You will get more services if you upgrade to a paid membership. If you upgrade membership, you are permitted to send and read an unlimited number of messages per month. The cost for upgrading is $23.90 per month. If you choose to pay three months upfront, the cost is $49.90 and if you choose to pay six months upfront, the cost is $69.90. How much do we have to pay for one year upfront? You can pay $120 for one year upfront.
Even though this dating app may be more expensive, they offer some benefits. This app really pays attention to safety by using an advanced filtering system that can block about 90% of illegitimate membership requests and automatically denies membership to applicants who are suspicious.
