Yes, she wouldn't know what looked like, but obviously, being with someone who had a disability like that would mean a lot of sacrifices.

To be honest, I probably wouldn't, and i disdain myself for saying this, but it would be too restrictive, and I'd want my love to at least be able to look into my eyes. Yes, even if she was a stunner. But I am she should would have no problem finding somebody, hopefully someone who liked her for who she was as a person.

After I posted this I figured the question could also apply to ladies. Would you date a really handsome man who was blind?

I would think it would be less restrictive than some of the ridiculous requirements some people have for their date mates.

It would not bother me in the least if I am attracted to them.

While I would prefer a woman who is not blind, I would still be able to date a blind woman.

I don't think it would lead to that many sacrifices. A blind woman can go on vacations, a blind woman can have sex, a blind woman can go out and eat with you, a blind woman can still talk to you. I know one blind woman, and you don't really notice it that much. She will sit in the couch and talk like everyone else. The only difference is that her husband lead her everywhere she goes.

There are certainly more limiting disabilities.

Yes but say you want to both appreciate a sun rise, or the Taj Mahal, or watch one of your favourite movies. I know sight isn't the only sense, but i don't know. I'll never say never, but I would like someone who can appreciate things with me.

Then you tell her how it looks like, so she can imagine it.

A lot of movies have extra sound track for blind people.

Dating a blind person has its advantageous too. If you are not that handsome, it does not matter for a blind person, who can't see you anyway.

Hypothetically speaking, I would gladly date a kind-hearted lady who was blind...she doesn't even need to be beautiful either -- as long as she is caring and affectionate to me, as that's all I need to be happy with someone romantically

I would have no problem with it at all. Probably within the next decade i be will completely deaf so it would foolish to rule out dating someone whom is blind. I could be her eyes and she my ears.
