Let's be honest if someone reduces a person to their disability they are not going to get dates from people with said disability.

Being blind is also not a binary thing. Often legally blind can have many variants where their vision might be intensely poor but they still have vision to a degree.

Also a lot of legally blind people use the internet both privately and professionally and are independent people who don't rely on their partners for everything.

It says here it's more of a hassle than actually impossible. Which yeah, probably, considering how little care people take towards accessibility

It has been fascinating to watch chasing gradually become a faux pas. A decade ago, I’d have guessed that it would take another 50 years.

That last one is really cute

I would give it a try just to pinch my nose and go "THIS? is audible" at the intro

A-plus for authenticity, plus I feel like you've truly captured the essence of what that message sounds like. Good job!

I'm in a long distance relationship, recently my girlfriend suggested we read books together by one of us reading to the other one over the phone - usually me, but occasionally the other way around. It's turned into quite a precious bedtime story routine. Sometimes I also read to her while she's cooking or doing other chores.

40 year old married man, my wife reads me to sleep every night. highly recommend

If she is blind it works in my favor because she can't see how ugly I am on the outside. Too bad I'm also ugly on the inside :(

"Rocky!? Does your face have a pelvis!?"

"But I'm beautiful on the inside!"

"Yeah but Rocky, there's a limit!!"

She can also still feel the size of your pp :(

I also record audio books for my girlfriend. It's feels nice to do for her. She isn't blind though

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 76 points 9 months ago (4 children)

You need to take it to the next level and record movies with you as all Characters.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 26 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh fuck you're so right. She'd be genuinely love that lmao. Need to get better at voice acting though

[–] Chriswild@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well she's a shark so I doubt she'll notice.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This is true, hard to tell good voice acting from bad voice acting when you're under water

It's hard trying to pay attention to your boyfriend's voice acting when you're under water, high, and a shark

[–] QuinceDaPence@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

you’re under water, high, and a shark

"Maaaan, sometime I feel like, maybe fish can be both friends and food, you know". [Followed by eating all the fish.]

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Look man, if the fish weren't meant to be eaten they wouldn't be so tasty. You ever think about that? Sure bill was a great friend but I'm not gonna pass up a tuna steak you feel me?

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 5 points 9 months ago

Jack Black? Mos Def? Is it you guys over there?

[–] underwire212@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

Take it even further and intentionally make your girlfriend blind.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 9 months ago

Is she a shark ?

[–] IHadTwoCows@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

My wife has become legally blind this year and it sucks majorly
