Who else was waiting for the plot twist? I thought she dumps him because his voice sounds like a drowning pig in panic or so… :'D
After my girlfriend gained the ability to smell, she dumped me. She hates roses now though
How do you suddenly gain that ability? Are there implants for smell as well? Or did they extract some lego bricks that she stuffed up her nose as a kid?
might’ve recovered from long COVID
As she apparantly liked roses before and now does no longer, I read it as ‘she was born without the ability to smell’.
I misread the first twist as “she’s dead” and thought anon’s love life just took a turn for the worst.
Missed a perfect opportunity to say something like “prancing pig in a panic”.
If someone is deaf from birth and gains hearing from implants later in life, you whisper in their ear and they can’t see your lips they won’t understand because they have never heard the audio before. Is this correct?
In the beggining he said after a while she noticed or something like that so it means she had partial hearing loss.
I figured that she noticed him visually, a shadow was cast or she saw movement. Anon also said that she heard her mom “for the first time” when she got the implant.
Taking all this into account, while the greentext seems to have avoided the first label of homosexuality, the verity of the story nevertheless has to be put into question.
“I move closer to he”
Anon may be gay too
“a shadow was cast”
Ominous 😄
Yes, but it’s not just deaf from birth people. Your brain has to wire itself to understanding the signals from the implant
How could you possibly know what a visual representation of a sound sounds like if you’ve never had the relationship between the two pointed out to you??
If your whispered in their ear, then yes, if you’ve never heard English you can’t understand it
I didn’t see that in the post - lip reading would still that gap nicely, as would signing and speaking at The same time
I like to think based on how this story is worded she always had implants but never knew to turn them up
what if we all have implants but never knew how to turn them down?
a screwdriver does the trick, its a one time adjustment though
Just make sure to get a thin one and wiggle it a bit, the screw is tiny and waaaay down there. please don’t do this
losing the user manual is a bitch
Deaf! Dumb! Blind?
But she sure plays a mean pinball.
So it’s fake because 4chan. But also it’s fake because even if you’re late deafened you need to learn how to hear after getting cochlear implants.
Also because it’s rare for adults fluent in sign language with a supportive network to choose CIs unless late deafened
the real question is if it’s also gay too.
dont ask me i don’t use four chan.
what if they’re both fat
She would have had to learn to hear, learn to speak. Perhaps she couldn’t understand them, perhaps all the meaning communicated was in sign language
Also “she gave me her number.” And? Did you call her?
(I guess I’m dating myself here because texting is a thing, but…)
I’m 30 and can’t imagine calling someone in response to being given a number. My entire life my number has been for texting
How do you know he was a confidential informant?
This is fake, but not gay.
Turns out anon is a female
Don’t be silly, there are no women on the internet.
We’ve already established the fake
Oh yeah, good point. Didn’t think of that. My apologies.
Did Anon specify their gender?
No, I assumed it for a stupid joke.
Oh this is the gayest green text I’ve seen in long time /s
Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂
Maybe it was a bit much to ask that during such an emotional moment? I mean, let the woman decide when she has her wits together…
NO, IM FINE. ITS ALLERGIES.
WHO’S CUTTING ONIONS IN THE HOSPITAL?
I never expect when greentexts hit right in the feels.
Never knowing what to expect is the fun part of reading greentexts.
This is really cute, but the first thing you should’ve said to her is the cheesy pick up line from the day you met her.
“So, as I was trying to say…”
Come here often?
To much word!
Guy love deaf girl. Girl hearing fixed. Guy say he love her.
Cry

Hears her Mom for the first time… which means she’s never heard words before… how the fuck does she know what “I love you, please marry me” is supposed to mean? It’s just a jumble of new, incomprehensible sounds…
Being able to read and write doesn’t mean you can understand spoken language, or speak.
Deaf people know how to read lips to understand people who don’t know sign language. Also “hears for the first time” might be an embelishment in the story - lots of people are partially deaf and can hear something, just not enough to understand the words and they revert to lip reading.
Deaf people aren’t necessarily mute, and can often “hear” their own voice.
My relative is deaf and can read lips really well.
“just a little better” probably an understatement
I love wholesome greentexts
Aww 🥰
