How would you describe your physical appearance to someone who is 100% blind?

Get as literal, metaphorical, general, or detailed as you want.

I probably wouldn't, unless they needed me to for some reason. I'd rather be known for my words, thoughts, and deeds anyway, even with sighted people. If someone really needed to know what I looked like, and they were blind, if we were friends, I'd be comfortable with a hug and face touching. If we weren't, I don't think they'd need to know, anyway.

I don't remember who said it, but I remember a quote from a blind man: "Every woman I've ever date is a ten." I like that take on things! ;) With of course the random insertion that people shouldn't be ranked by numbers, etc. It's the idea behind it I like, not judging by looks.

I had an extra class with a blind man once, and he was pretty amazing. His wife helped him a lot with some things, and he was kind and encouraging. It interested me a lot that the feelings he had showed on his face. He hadn't been socialized not to show emotion, even though he was a man from the generation where that's definitely true. It was very interesting to me, and it made me trust him.

Ehm, tall fat white person of the female persuasion with fairly regular facial features, light eyes and dark hair below the shoulders. (though, I guess that means very little if they NEVER had sight).

tbh, when I described myself to blind people in the past I've added things like voice timbre (female alto, with a sort of melodic quality to it)

A tall, long-limbed beanpole with dead straight brown hair, brown eyes, pale skin, and freckles.

I'd lie.

The two people I've known who were 100% blind (since childhood) didn't care how people appeared physically and wouldn't have asked. I don't know how this would be useful information to someone in that position.

Are there character traits that are instant turn offs, even when the character is played by an actor you are normally extremely attracted to or the character is normally one you would be attracted to?

Inspired because I finally saw the new Beauty and the Beast. And Luke Evans is usually someone I find gorgeous. I usually like villains. Arrogance is not a problem. But, turns out, willful ignorance and book-hating is an instant turn off on even a normally very hot man for me.

misogyny
"dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women." This can show up in many ways.

sexual assault, or pressuring someone for sex
(I feel like this should go without saying)

Smoking. I don't care how many times people say it looks cool. It does absolutely nothing for me.

Cheating seems to be a big one...I mean, I even understand why some people do it, but for a guy I should be attracted to it's not a great quality.

Intolerant, bigoted views (like racism, sexism, homophobia). related: openly supporting very right-leaning parties or politicians.

Having kids seems to be a big one, too.

Is reaaally into sports as a spectator sport. Strangely, I have much less hangups about someone actually playing sports, but, example: rabid soccer fans.
