Voice and bodytype are my strongest physical factors when figuring out if I find someone attractive, so that seems reasonable enough. And there’s a lot of incidental contact that could tip a blind person off to whether someone is their type (sharing a hug, sighted guide, asking another friend with vision, etc.) So my guess is his compliments are legitimate. As for why he’s hitting on you when he’s got a GF? I got nothing for that.

Voice is part of it, though not all. Personality is a big factor. Things like... oh... is she confident, but not arrogant or haughty about herself, her appearance, and her abilities? Can she take a joke, or laugh at her own self? What kinds of things does she find intellectually stimulating? Does she generally tend to get along with others, or is there some sort of tension in the air when she's around? Does she have a cute laugh, or howl like a hyena? Then, if a time ever comes when you have physical contact with her, something normal, not forced, I'm talking about just normal human interaction, not sexual at this point, like a hand shake, a hug, etc. is there anything there, like any feeling at all? If you take her hand or she takes yours, do you feel almost like you've been zapped, and do you get a catch in your breath? When she walks out of the room, do you wish she were back with you? If there is some sort of contact, do you have to fight yourself to not let it linger unnaturally, or do you catch yourself after having had, say, a lingering hug or something that went on longer than would be considered normal. Body type, well, maybe not so accurately, but you could judge by her movements, her footsteps, if she gets up and walks across the room, does it sound ... hmm... flowing and graceful, or stilted, maybe heavy footfalls, etc. When she sits down, is that graceful, is that smooth and flowing, or maybe sort of heavy, fuller sounding. Maybe the chair creaks, or there is much more sort of fabric rustling noise from the couch. If she sits on the same couch as you, does the entire thing feel like it's sinking?

This kind of seems like a checklist, but that wasn't really my intention. Everybody is going to have their won criteria for what they consider beautiful, and certainly everything in this above list doesn't have to be met for a girl to be considered beautiful. At some point, I'd be asking my sighted friends more of what she looks like.

so I identify someone as beautiful by the way they portray themselves, the amount of confidence they have the "aura" they give off.
A warm personality is beautiful, a sense of humour is beautiful.

I also love all different accents and identify those as beautiful for myself personally.

I don't know how to explain what I find beautiful and attractive, I do know that whoever came up with "feel your face" had been smoking something because I never heard this in real life from any of my blind companions.

it's not something I think much about, to be honest. Voice, smell and personality are the main factors.

There's a story that Ray Charles used to shake a woman's hand, and by clasping her wrist while he did it, he gauged her appearance off that.

Auggie Anderson from Covert Affairs said that you don't have to see a girl to know if she's hot, just listen to how other guys talk to her.

I prefer the Tommy Edison approach from his top ten video of the perks of being blind, every woman he's been with was a 10...

my ex was beautiful and fat. i loved it. that's when i realized i'm attracted to larger women. and voice, smell, personality etc.
