Is love blind?

Do you think you could fall in love someone without seeing what they look like? Or do you also need to be physically attracted to them to fall in love?




Edit: Yeah it was the show "Love is Blind" on Netflix that left me questioning these things :h: I found the premise intriguing and wondered what others thought

No. I wouldn't date someone I didn't find physically attractive.

No, or straight people would be falling in love with members of their own sex all the time.

good point :giggle: Hypothetically, what if you could hear the person and talk to them but not see them? Do you think you could love them purely for their personality?

Fair enough. Initial attraction is important, but I would say personality can make someone attractive that I might not have considered especially attractive when I first saw them

If I loved them partly because of the sound of their voice, then I wouldn't be loving them purely for their personality.

Oh I wouldn't be sure about that, I'm kind of annoying.

In fact, I annoy myself to death half the time.

Ha join the club. Pretty sure my families going to murder me during this lockdown because of it. But hey it's also why they love me :h:
Sometimes love is blind.
Reckless and idiotic too.

I'm personality attracted but don't think I could love someone without seeing them, meeting face to face and having some direct physical contact.
Of course, this doesn't apply to everyone.
Blind people that can't see at all do fall in love.
Same with those very odd secondlife gamer couples and the insane people who lend large sums of money & accept marriage proposals from online scam artists without seeing their photo/face or even having a voice conversation first. :facepalm:

They do say hate and love are very linked :giggle: She might sometimes even enjoy the annoyingness. Would like to think my brother finds mine endearing

So what you're saying is, the subatomic particles that form in an atom are exponentially greater than the gift of nuclear collision therefore alluding to my time as an undercover spy? I think you've just changed my whole perception on reality...
I could probably come to love their character, but there would be nothing in it romantically.
