people with vision problems look for people with
normal vision (though I have heard of couples that are
both
blind). I think it makes perfect sense for one
partner to have good vision since she or he can make
life easy for the other. I am a 21 year old man with
perfectly normal vision but would like to
date a
visually impaired woman but I don't know where to
find them. I have never even met a blind woman although
I did meet a blind man on the bus once and it was really
interesting talking to him about what his day is like
and how he gets around. I have no idea where I could
find one and if one would want to date a sighted man. If
you know of any sites or anything could you let me
know?"
Millions of women have
vision problems
I can understand that you have not met
a blind woman because I haven't too, though, I have seen
them occasionally in public. Having said that, the 2008
National Health Interview Survey Provisional Report
says that 25.2 million Americans reported
experiencing vision loss. In other words there must be
lots of women in your age group.
I did a quick search to find out that, for obvious
reasons, there are no good websites for dating for blind
people (surfing the web for blind people is still very
difficult and most websites are not designed for them).
Have you done some research locally to find out any
programs or charities or other institutions that cater
to blind people? You could always start off by
volunteering there and that could lead to a new world
for you and that might create opportunities for dating
too. |
