How to fix a blind man up with a woman
Posted on 3/7/14 at 7:23 pm

My best friend growing up and he was always legally blind then but is almost totally blind now. We are both in our late 40's and still hang out as much as posable . When my family goes to family functions or party's I always bring him with us. He lives with his mom and is on disability . He's just really lonely , I'm about the only person that he has to talk too.He was married for awhile in his 20's but she left him for another man. Is there any support groups or dating services for the blind around BR? I think he would be happy just talking on the phone with a female.

I think his best bet is to just have you be his wingman. Does he work at all?

Most legit thread in weeks.
Unfortunately I don't have any advice, but I'm looking forward to the OT coming through.

Is it possible for him to become more independant? It would likely translate to confidence.

Well, you better get ready, because he needs one.
It would be easier if he were more independent. A job would help.

You need to get him out there, and I'm not talking about just dating. He needs to get back in the game of life completely. There are jobs out there. There are support groups for the blind. If he gets out there, then the rest will fall into place.

I don't have any advice but I admire your friendship

Great odin's raven I didn't even think about the porn thing. Much respect for the blind man.

Well, just close on a chick.
Bring her back to his place.
Go to the room and turn off the lights.
Say you have to get condoms.
Send him in there in the dark (he's used to it anyway).
You did your bro duties and didn't cheat.

Does your wife have any single women in the workplace that y'all could set him up with. Y'all go out together maybe to a crawfish boil or LSU baseball game.

I have no real advice, but I did have a blind friend growing up and he was a super nice guy. I bet some churches or community organizations have groups that gather with similar issues. Might check into that. Best of luck, and kudos to you for being his friend.
