Do blind people find others physically attractive, and if so what do they find attractive?(self.Blind)
submitted by magicguineapiggles
I am just curious about this.

I've only been blind for the last 2 years, and I find myself wondering what the people I've never seen before look like. Sometimes I like the voice but need to hear what others have to say about the person's appearance in order to decide whether I like or dislike. One of the things I miss the most since going blind is being able to appreciate a good pair of boobies.

Can you ask (cough) for research?

Hey man, blind since birth. You can still appreciate, you just have to be closer. Tellem all how you lost your vision and how sad it is and how you miss sunsets and renisaunce art, and then just slip in that you miss the female body. In fact, this is such a good idea that I'm going to start telling women I lost my vision two years ago. "Yeah you know, its ok, the ajustments been hard, that's all. You sound like you must be beautiful."

Yes. Voice, smell, height, weight, etc. Speaking personally I find personality and voice to be the first things that get my interest, but physical atraction often develops shortly after that. However, I know it can and does work differently for other blind folks.

The answer is yes, blnd people def find others physicly attractive. Whenever I'm out with friends and things start to go well with a girl I always, without fail, ask my male friends, "So what's up? She hot?" Because I want to know before I try to make a move. I've been blind since birth and I think this is why I don't care about facial features. My only rule on faces is the girls face can't be so ugly that other people who don't know me would think I'd gottened suckered into dating someone super ugly. But in general if a girls face doesn't have big scars or burnmarks or some serious uncommon problem, I don't care about it. Body is all important. For example, I like tall girls. I do not like A-cup boobs, I like long hair. I like big butts but not fat women. I don't think we have to go any deeper into my preferences to give you the idea. The thing is people say, "but how would you know she was fat or had A-cup boobs?" and my answer is, the first time I make out with that girl and I run my hands down her back and there are roles on it is the moment I learn that she's fat if one of my buddies hasn't already told me, I can't forget that knowledge or change who I'm attracted to. Editted to mention that voice and smell are also important, I was trying to answer the physical part of the question

I think it would have been way funnier if everyone on r/blind had somehow agreed to all say "uhhhh... no, and you are an idiot" to the O.P. instead of trying to answer this ridiculous question. The questions on this thread crack me up some times. "Do blind people find others physically attractive?" I mean, seriously? Valiant attempt to communicate with the plebs though, laconicflow. Good on ya.

Yeah, good on me.

Voice, smell, and the way it feels when they hold me. But smell and hygiene are really, really important. Body odor can basically ruin everything for me.

I actually been told I feel very soft/baby like for some people. It's kind of weird.

My fiancée is blind, she told me when we first started dating that my voice could've been a deal breaker. She had me describe myself physically so she at least had some idea what I look like visually. Otherwise she was attracted to me for many of the same reasons I was attracted to her, common interests and similar attitudes about life.
