Both Tinder and Coffee Meets Bagel, two popular dating apps, have done little to accommodate the blind or visually impaired community.

In general, there is limited knowledge and studies on the experiences of dating with a disability. Will you do better disclosing your disability immediately, do you put it in a photo, or do you wait?

This has been my personal experience in south Texas. Plus, there are more men on the dating sites then women; however, most of the men are involved with someone else while on these sites and they are gennerally just looking for sex. If anyone wants to E-mail me for the sites that I use, send me an E-mail with "Blind Dating" in the subject line.
If "Blind dating" is not in the subject line, I will automatically delete any E-mails that I do not know who they are from!! My home E-mail is: I placed the spaces in the address to keep web crawlers from finding it and sending me garbage.

It is difficult to meet blind people. Being sighted, I don't know a lot about their "world". I would like to learn though.
