Don't let your eyes blind what your heart can see (21)
tetsuo818West Hills, California USA6 Threads 63 PostsI came up with this phrase after watching movies like Shallow Hal. I remember a movie about a old man who was taking care of young beautiful girl who became blind. They fell in love and had a great relationship. The old man found a doctor who could restore her sight. She had the surgery. After she saw what the man looked like, she no longer felt the same for him. How many of us would have dated differently if we couldn't see the person? I acknowledge that I am shallow for the most part.

Sorry, but I think this is crap. I have seen this over and over again. Just because someone is ugly does not mean they are a good person. Just because a person is beautiful does not mean they are shallow.

I agree and I think it is down to each individual who they find attractive. Each to there own.
Also just because someone is nice, doesn't mean you have to be attracted to them.

tetsuo818: I know for me, if I were blind, I more than likely would date differently from the way I do now. I would have to base my feelings about you on how you treat me and not how you look.
Even if you were blind, you would be able to feel. Are you telling me that you would not still be turned off touching a 300 lb women?

You are not shallow my friend. A very good friend of mine was born blind, and he had accomplished some things that those of us who see will never accomplish. He worked out regularly, and had trophies from sking competions which he won with a sighted skier sking behind him, spotting, giving directions. I could never close my eyes, and ski down a course with all my trust in a spotter.
I won't mention his great attitude, or chick magnet abilities.
He had a heart of gold, and would give all he could for anyone who asked.

I honestly can not say I wouldn't. But my feelings for her may over come it. I really don't know. I just wish I was better than I am and could say no.

It is the same with internet dating.
Someone posts a pic of them self (or not) and you enjoy chatting to them and find them attractive (according to their pic). After some time you agree to meet up and see what happens. Only to realise you can hardly recognise the person you are meeting. You may have a nice time with them, in a friendship kind of way but you don't find them attractive. It does not make you shallow, each person finds different people attractive and it is part of what makes us individuals. I see no reason why anyone should have to date someone they do not fancy.
For this reason people should always be honest about the way they look and that way if someone fancies you, neither of you will be disapointed.

I speak in past tense because of lifes situations we both were required to move on from the city where we partied. It's been years since I've been back to Vt., and I'm not sure if he and his girlfriend, maybe now wife, are still in Florida, or what.

Slow dancing would be tough - and painful if she stepped on your feet....
