after I answer Justin, I'll put some comments in answer to other 
comments on this topic.

dear Justin,
I understand what you express about your eyes, I understand it first-hand.
I was born with a half dozen eye deformities, some which weren't 
supposed to occur in the same eyes.  the miracle was I had some 
limited left eye vision until I was thirteen when a generalized 
inflamation whiped out my retinas in the seeing and unseeing 
eye.  so, besides the deformities, my eyes looked perminently 
bloodshot.  one eye was smaller than the other.

I could never ever even think of getting a date in high school.  many 
times on the high school campus I would first become aware of one or 
more girls staring at me because I would hear "eewwwwww!"  I did go 
to the Prom, a third party arranged for me to go with a Japanese girl 
who had braces.  I don't think she was happy to go with me but she 
did.  we had no relationship after that.
when I was twenty-five, the scaring from that general inflamation was 
calcifying, hardening, and one of my birth defects was glaucoma.  put 
these together and you get very painful eyes.

so, mine were removed.  the eyes I have now made by the occularist 
are quite nice and people really like them.  they absolutely cannot 
tell they are prosthetics.

yes, sighted women love to look in their men's eyes, especially at 
special moments.  but there are women who are of a deeper disposition 
who will see your heart, and if you have a good character, they will 
find that very attractive Justin.

having deformed eyes is hard, I won't lie to you about that.  but 
there are other things in life.  and the really good women won't be 
put off by deformed eyes.

now as to attractiveness to answer John's question.  the first thing 
I notice about a woman is her voice and being a red-blooded man I 
naturally wonder what she looks like from her voice.  I agree with 
you about scent but there are some scents a woman can purchase that I 
find attractive, especially  if I'm not being hit over the head with 
it.  maybe because I am almost 50, but the next thing I wonder about 
in a woman is her character.

p.s. hope Valentine's day was good, my wife and I enjoyed our 
favorite mexican restaurant, she'd never had fajitas and enjoyed 
shrimp fajitas.  she'd also never had fried ice cream and loved it.

and btw, we 've been married fifteen years.  she is blind, and 
black.  I disagree with John's assertion that the blind should only 
marry the blind.  that is because of course there are more than 
blindness issues between two people.
