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.
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.

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.

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!

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!!"

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
