Are Looks Important ? Lets find Out. ( Archived) (80)

To contribute my 2 cents worth, I have found all the replies to this thread, the best ever in a long time. It is also the best in allowing everyone to clearly and dispassionatly express their views and opinions on a highly important issue and none got bashed!! Amazing; wish all forum posts were as civilized and well expressed! Looks of others or of ourselves to others as we may think they see us as opposed as to how they do always needs some re-focusing and is very important to all of us; we cannot escape being in the eye of the beholder nor in our own mindsthis feedback in the forum is excellent in that there is so much that is similar but still unique to each; it has certainly given myself a lot to think over and take another look at...:)

I don't know Roy. One time I had this thing that was made for printing Braille. I wanted to sell it on eBay but I didn't know exactly what to call it so I listed it a "Braille Thingy".

Of course, in the ad I had a picture of it and included a full description of how it works. I just didn't know what to call it.

Well, some blind fellow wrote me a really nasty email calling me all sorts of insensitive things because I had referred to the item as a "Braille Thingy". So obviously blind people are at least using eBay.

I wrote the chap back a very sincere apologetic letter which he graciously accepted. It still amazes me that he got as upset as he did just because someone listed an item on eBay as a Braille Thingy. I mean, who woulda thunk it?

Only you majic man, only you!

I hear ya Abra. I had trouble typing in braille. My blind supervisor proofread my my typing. A sighted person would really have to be dedicated to proofread their own writing in braille.

I think braille is pretty cool stuff. like the drive in window at the bank in braille. Course driving to the bank might be a problem but then I guess theat is for the blind person not driving in the car. We had braille at the university for the rest rooms. The market for making helping aids is like a goldmine for a creative inventor.

the word thingy sort of conjures up the thought you didnt think enough of the product to name it properly.just a thought.

Refurbished!!! LMAO

I am tarnished with wear and want to be

refurbished

updated

made over

renovated

and maybe some silver polish would take that tarnish away..

HAhahahaaha

I might as well jump in here and put my 2 cents worth in. Yes there has to be some kind of physical attraction for those of us that can see. If I were blind would it matter? Do the blind search for a mate on there appearance? What is beautiful to one person may be completely different another. Its all in the minds eye. A person that is neat and clean is attractive, there clothes fit them well, the way they carry themselves, the sound of there voice. THen there is the question of what is true beauty? How many over weight women do you see with knock out looks? How many women do you see with the perfect body but not the looks? Are men that go after a beautiful face superficial? I can't answer that. I believe that for anyone to be beautiful they must have a little bit of everything, inside and out. Remember if you stay with that person long enough we will all look old at some point in our lives.

A tinkling bell may peal,

Thou Tarnished it may be!

One’s face held lightly in the hand,

Is like a Rose to me!

And deep within ones caring heart

No Blemish can there be!

For one to be renewed look into one’s heart,

And seek your love … the one … you never want to part!

Shines bright the beacon of one’s dreams,

Refurbish love life’s past,

For like a born again virgin bride,

Seeking her new love to last!
