That would only work if she and her friend had the same taste in men. Taste varies enormously. I no longer describe anyone as “hot,” because my taste in men is very different from most (though there is some overlap).
A blind woman wouldn’t have any “taste” when it came to how a man looked, and even if she did she’d have no way of knowing whether her friend’s taste matched her own. My point was that a blind person might be influenced by peer pressure with regard to how their partner looks. The beautiful blind woman would know she was too good for George Costanza because other people would tell her so.
With George Costanza, I think she’d just… sense it, within minutes of meeting him. That’s just how he is.
Most recent research on sexual orientation seems to be indicating that it is largely genetic & embryonic, being determined by your chromosomal genes, possibly influenced by development of the embryo while in the uterus.
So this would indicate that sexual orientation is already set while in the womb, long before the infant is born and ever opens their eyes for the first time to see the world (or not see, for a blind baby). So how would blindness go back in time and retroactively change the baby’s sexual orientation?
[hijack – sorry!]Yo, Lamia, welcome back! I can’t PM you or post a message in your profile 
so am interrupting the conversation here – we’re trying to start up the Musicals group over in Cafe Society – based on the lists you helped work on a couple of years ago. Check it out. [/hijack – sorry]
Unless she’s attracted to short, bald, stocky men with annoying personalities and even more annoying parents. Why wouldn’t a blind person have specific preferences, like everyone else?
