Would you date a blind person?

it depends who sets me up on the blind date.. if it is a good friend or family member or someone I trust, then I would probably go on it IF I wasn't liking anyone or getting over anyone at the time. what is the worst that can happen if you go on a blind date? you see her one night and never see her again.. or the best thing is that you start a relationship with her

Well, as a "blind" person reading this, and many of us perfer you use "visually impaired".

Unfortunately, I've found that many women are shallow, and for some reason the lack of eyesight or enough vision to do things that a sighted person does on a daily basis bothers them. For instance, driving an automobile. Sure, and while it's not fair that I can't drive due to my eyesight, but I shouldn't be penalized by a woman because of it. I can't help the fact, and besides, would you want me behind the wheel? lol :)

I do very well, I have my own home, a great job and I take very good care of myself. Unfortunately, when meeting women, I get the "you're a nice guy, but..." (fill in the blank...)

Nobody wants someone who is "broken". I had perfect 20/20 vision at one time, but due to an accident, that changed my life forever. Now I am hoping that someday medical research will break through and help me and others see again (or for the first time). I am 33 years old, and I've been "visually impaired" for almost 4 years. I was engaged when my accident happened, and the girl left a few months after I was told my vision could not be repaired. You would think after knowing someone for 4.5 years, it wouldn't matter. But the day she left, she looked at me and said that she wanted a husband that could see her and her children someday. It's something I'll never forget. Since that time, I've tried to meet people, either through online dating, or when out with friends, but when I tell women or they learn that I am visually impaired, they lose intrest in me, and that's to bad.

You're probably asking how bad my eyesight is, well it's 20/400 in the left eye and I am 100% blind in the right eye. I see colors, but not that well anymore, lots of contrast (lits and darks) but detail is very hard for me to see without magnification, and the same goes for text/print, I need at least 12x magnification in order to read. I use a screen reader on my laptop and I have a 30" monitor here on my desk with a program that allows me to zoom-in and read if I need to, or look at a photo, or whatever...

I do everything I used to when I had eyesight, I travel, attend sporting events, work, etc, and when people see me do this or I talk about it, they can't believe it or are impressed. I live my life as normal as I am able to, sometimes I have to find ways of enjoying things a bit differently than when I had eyesight, but I still get enjoyment.

It's to bad that most women can't see past my lack of eyesight to get to know me. I still have a lot to offer someone.

And while my situation is probably different than a lot of other "visually impaired" people, I'm not speaking for them, just telling you what I've had to deal with when trying to meet someone.

So if you ever meet me or another visually impaired person, give them a fair chance, don't judge them or treat them any different than the next person.

I don't have the time in my life to take the responsibility. Otherwise I probably would.

Absolutely. I wouldn't have to comb my hair. Sweet.

Yes. If I loved them to begin with. Some blind people can see things better then people who see with your eyes. And if you loved someone why would you not date them. If you are in love you are in love. Nothing else matters.

wow now that is a tough question. Maybe dating but not marriage. There is just far too much responsobility and hassle to get things going, + I would love to have my wife see me + I am a very visual person myself as I am a design artist and filmaker.

Yes, because we would get great parking at wal-mart and because no matter how old and ugly I continue to get. I'm beautiful to her no matter what.

Rather a girl can see or not doesn't matter to me as long as it doesn't negatively impact any of my typical deciding factors.

Personality: Personality can make up for a less-desirable trait or multiple traits all on it's own.
Style: Style similar to personality, but more focused on interaction and conversation style.
Looks/Appearance: Physical appearance only matters to a certain degree.

I have dated a blind person before. It was the only relationship I ever had where she didn't screw me over in some way and make me have to dump her. We decided that we really weren't made for each other and are still friends today. She's a very awesome girl and I have nothing but good things to say about her. I wouldn't know what to do if she didn't want to be my friend anymore. Far more than I can say about any other girl I've ever been with.

yeah why not?
as long as she's smart, funny, talkative and beautiful yeah
if my current girlfriend went blind I'd still love her
would be a bit gutted cos I want kids and it would be so hard
but it would be worth it if you loved them

actually tbh wouldn't date someone physically handicapped though :( sounds awful

I will date a blind person ,if I'm interested in her and she feel the same about me .

Sure.

Of course, with my luck, she would need the seeing eye dog, and I'd probably be horribly allergic.

It's not a deal breaker. If I thought she was beautiful, smart, charming, responsible and all that, then by all means, yes. Ha ha. And the kiss might be easier to do too, since she might not expect it. ;)

And wit MY level of ugly, it might be the ONLY way a woman would be interested in me.

no
i like someone who appreaciate my look and after I like someone who can be independant and be able to raise the kids like I can

I would actually date a blind person if I find her attractive overall and there also if the chemistry is there. Yeah being blind is not a deal breaker for me.

Sure. If I like the person it doesn't matter if the person is blind.

love is love.

why would it make a difference if they can see or can't their a human being just like you and me so yes I would

i would treat them like any other person. if we totally clicked I would go for it. depends if we got along

Yeah, because he wouldn't focus as much on the physical aspect of things, like appearance, and probably focus more on the connection. If I like someone, these things don't matter.

yea actually it would be okay because he wouldn't care if I'm ugly lol
but it would still probably be weird
im in love rite now and if he went blind (knock on wood) I wouldstill be there for him 24/7

I think the question here is why people lie that much?
people tend to anwers things that don't matches with the reality...
I bet most of them wouldn't date a blind people when they say they would...
this society hs a lot of hipocrisy...
afff

I woulnt date...

if I loved them yes of course , anyone can go blind so what would happen to all the people who said no if the person they loved turned blind would they dump them? love isn't just about seeing each other although pysichal attraction does matter without a doubt but love is more than that so blinde, deaf or any kind of dissablity isn't going to make me not date someone if I like them I like them

good question

yea

i don't think I could :( its too much to handle

i would date a blind guy if there was chemistry it wouldn't even matter that he couldn't see.

Actually one of my ex-boyfriends is legally blind. He was such a sweetie! I would do it again if there was some chemistry between us. After all, they are regular people.

defidently
you would never know if that's the person you're supposed to be with if you didn't
they would probably be rweally interesting to talk to in my opinoin

if I like him yeahhhhh y not I think they are intersting how he can blind but be a succesful fun person

yes, absolutely. do yourself a favour and watch this dvd: "At first sight". This is a true story and will give you a lot of insight into the world of the blind. Never try and change anybody, if you feel the other person needs to changed, it's posiible that he or she was not right for you in the first place. Good luck.

I would. A touch can be a powerful thing. I mean when they touch your face.

I'm a girl but yes. I'd date a deaf one, too, but I guess I'd have to learn sign language. I'd also date someone paralyzed. If you like someone a lot those things shouldn't matter. I'm sure it will be more interesting to hear what guys have say though. Great question!

If they had a really great personality and If they are attractive.And I should be able to make a commitment for dealing with that situation.Then YES!

yea if it was someone I liked. having a blind guy as a boyfriend would actually be a plus for me because then they couldn't see how ugly I am.

i don't honesly see that happening. its not that I couldn't love a blind person I just think that my pity and feeling sorry for the other person would get int eh way of the relationship

I would. I don't see a problem. It's not like all dates have to be dinner and a movie dates. There are other things to do. Music showcases at local pubs, comedy clubs, etc.. If it doesn't bother the other person, then why should it bother me?

If we just have a spark, yes.
And I can know he's not shallow.
& if he's helluh hot, he can't see if I'm ugly or not, ahaha.
(:

so I'd just have to go snag him.
;D

I would cause if you click then you will know that tthat person likes you for you and not for ur looks

Blindness does not affect their personality or their gender or anything that would really make or break a relationship. But I am also patient so I don't know if I could if I was impatient...

If there is chemistry who cares if they are blind or not.
