Totally blind since birth. Yes, voice is definitely a big factor for me, with personality/interests a very close second!

If you don't mind, may I ask, how you are able to keep up with a world that is increasingly addicted to visual distractions (facebook pictures, tikotok videos, instagram reels etc) and content that is moving from text to video formats.
Also (and sorry for so many questions I never met anyone blind from birth), do you feel more at peace than people with vision (anecdotally)? Because people can barely sit for 15 minutes in meditation and I always wondered what would not being aware of one sense completely felt like (not losing but never having).

I never asked my parents and it's too late to now. I do know they were both students in the same field at the same university so I would presume they met in a classroom setting. It definitely wasn't looks that attracted her, she had no vision whatsoever.
My comment might sound blunt but the reality of biology and how our brains are wired cannot be denied.
So in your example people will game their interests till they are matched with a picture they like.
As a thought exercise I wonder if there is a dating service for blind (since birth) people and how they choose their partners. Something tells me even they would go by voice rather than 'interests'.
