[Blindtlk] On-line Dating

[robin.beautifullyblind at ymail.com]

Hi Carly! Thank you for sharing your opinion. I understand what you're saying, but it's not about distrust and fear, but rather being cautious. I wouldn't be asking him for anything that I haven't supplied. He has seen my pictures, and I am willing to give him my last name as well. It's better to be safe than sorry.

I fear that any other eyes you get to describe the photo, might bring their own bi asses to how this poor guy may look, drawing flimsy conclusions based on what they see. In my own experience, not basing my attraction to said man on physical appearance is what ultimately worked in my favor, a plus for dating a blind woman. Don't ruin that magic for a photo you can't even appreciate personally, anyway! If you are not seeing the pic, don't bother him with that!
