the only down side to this guy is that i cant hug him
+Dare Tauro this comment killed me
I know he's so great right?!
why? you have no arms?
yo boo, u can come over and hug me instead pls
+Dick Indiaz LMFAOOO That profile picture fits perfectly
You mentioned that you're not really into celebrities since you can't see them, but have you ever had a celebrity crush? Maybe based on their voice, or on some interviews you've heard them on?
Im 40 year old man from Norway and what you said in this video blew my mind. This is the first time I have thought about it. I couldn't see it because I see, see?
Thor Joel Tømmerås you're quite attractive though.
Hehe, thank you :)
Well, a lot can change in two years :)
Thor Joel Tømmerås Norway hell yes!
Yes us sighted people can be oblivious to perspectives we don’t notice
One of the most original channels on TH-cam I've found in years.
Dear god I think I'm in love. Binge watching his videos and every single one has brought a smile to my face.
Me too, I love his videos, its very inspiring.. It's amazing how insightful a blind persons perspective can be...
+Tanner Mulford In*sight*ful. Alright funny man
+Imani Mitchell Same, I'd love to see him do some stand up comedy. I think he'd do great.
I bet he’s had a lot of women after him in his time. He’s an incredible person.
Contact him then! 😄
I am male and sighted but I will say this. There is an attraction on the physical level yes, But what I've come to realize is that the more you get to know a girl and the more you love her personality. It shows on her face. She somehow becomes more beautiful as if her personality that you love has somehow fused with her physical appearance and is spread all over her. You look at her and you see her physically and emotionally, It is an incredible thing.
Rawtuna you're probably just drunk half of the time 😂
Totally agree.
So how she looks/ what you see changes her fac e? Bullshit, he face stays the same... What you mean is you find her more attractive over all.. but her appearance doesn't change
@@mistalongname4674 do you know what a metaphor is?
I love this guy
Me too lol he's Fucken awesome
Me too hes great
The reason why this guy is so happy and laughing is because he never saw the truth about reality
He is lucky
Same
@@chloroplast8611 no
So I guess you could call it a 'blind date'
If only all people found others attractive not only by their looks but personality and what they have to say as well.
Roger Rabbit thats what females do
There are 3 billion '"people"'
Chloroplast According to wiki there's 7.6 billion people. I guess I don't understand what you mean by 'people'.
Roger Rabbit nah, physical appearance is a good determinator of health and social status. If you walk up straight and are confident you look more beautiful.
Chloroplast ✔ i don't think females do that at all don't they. Sometimes they do it a little less than ud but every person is different and we are all moved by the same instincts
The things everyone should find attractive :)
Jaclyn Lizzi nah, physical appearance is a good determinator of health.
@@theporcupine9993 funny that there'd be an ablist in the comment section of a blind TH-camr. Health doesnt devalue someones worth.
@@theporcupine9993 physical appearance to sighted people also just plays a role in preference. It shouldn't be the main thing but it's still a part of it. Personality also needs to be considered
@@lornas4969 did I say anything about devalueing someone's worth?
@@skizecraft of course
i fucking love this guy. genuinely a cool dude
He has such a glowing personality and an infectious laugh, I wish they made more like him! :)
You know what is attractive to women? A happy man at peace with himself and able to have fun with others. Take a leaf out of Tommy's book please all the losers who are desperate to be angry about women judging men on looks.
I think we can agree that most people judge based on appearance, at least at first? Most emotionally balanced people also find people attractive who they develop a connection with, as Tommy said. It's not one or the other, there are infinite shades of grey.
there's so many of these interesting videos and not enough time to watch them all
Wow...Tommy answers a million dollar question here. Fantastic. I myself am blind, and what I am attracted to first is a woman's voice, then the personality that that voice reveals. Sexually, I find health and soft skin attractive. Sexual skills, a sense of humor and an entire package is necessary. Tommy, you are a gem. Thanks so much for helping explain our experience with the sighted world. BTW, great Sam Elliot impression, albeit brief. Hope someday to meet you in person; the first beer/soda/coffee is on me.
I just found your channel it's amazing the way you talk. Gives me comfort. It sounds like being blind it's not that bad. I'm struggling with low vision and was looking for this kind of video. People should post more videos like this. Keep making more videos they give a lot of motivation.
You have the best personality
He can't read ur comment. Yes this was recommended to me 4 years later just like every video I find
"In the end it deosn't even matter"
+Pedro Franca I put my trust...in...you.
+Pedro Franca CRAAAAAAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIIIIN
+D Gins *THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEAL*
+D Gins you become a part of meee
WAKE ME UP
(can't wake up!!!)
WAKE ME UP INSIDE
I can never be as happy as this guy
You have such an awesome way of thinking! It's so cool
Tommy should be a voice actor. He has so many really cool voices.
Here I was doing my Psychology homework, and I found your page and bam... no more homework xD I love your videos, it blows my mind trying to think like a blind person.
Hopefully this doesn't seem weird but if I was your age I would love to date you
Too bad he cant fucking read.
If only he wasn't married
He's married? To who? lol i never knew that
Ann Tomelton If you look on Instagram it's alannauhrich. I believe that it is his wife based on her Instagram
You can just tell him that you're his age.
this is almost exactly what matters to when deciding if a person is attractive to me... whenever i see a beautiful woman at roughly my age, i ask myself how to get to know her better, because i know that even the most beautiful looking woman won't make me happy for long, if she has a butt-ugly personality or if we don't have any common interrests.
As another blind person, I have to say this guy is awesome. I think a lot in the same way he does, and he's absolutely hilarious to listen to. I'm so glad that I found his channel.
I definitely agree! BUT, how did you type this? Did you use help from someone or are you just like half blind or yeah :/?
gabichri I typed it on my iPhone. All Apple products have a screen reader called Voice Over pre installed on them that reads everything displayed on the screen. Whenever you touch something, it reads it allowed. So when the keyboard is pulled up, I can touch a key, it tells me which one it is, i lift my finger, and it inserts the letter. As for my vision, I'm pretty much completely blind, just a little light perception is all the sight I have ☺️
Will Blind97 Ohh, ok! It's very cool that you can still communicate in the internet despite being blind, or with other words, type/comment. But thanks for the info and I wish you the very best! :)
gabichri same to you. Have a nice day 😀
Will Blind97 I don't want to sound rude, but how blind are you. If you have slight light perception you might be able to see the color red
glad i found your channel. super interesting content! thanks
You are adorable!! Are there days you feel more handsome? Or days when you feel like you might not be looking your best?
I love that you're doing these videos! So helpful to understand your point of view and I love your sense of humor!
The comment "I guess if all men went blind, women would pretty much hit the jackpot. Getting men who would listen and not judge by seeing." If men listened to most of the women they dated, they would have never dated them. lol
I was being silly. ;p Is a joke with the light heartedness and whatnot. Peace be with you.
That sounds very much like how people fall in love over the internet.
In the beginning you can only talk, it often takes some time before you get to know how they look and dress.
You get to love the character first, which is the most important thing.
Thanks for sharing the experience, Mr. Edison :D
so hes basically the perfect boyfriend? lol
You are so very charming. All I want to do is have coffee with you and listen to all your stories. Of course, I have my vision, but growing up, I was always very aware of my other senses, so I truly do understand where a lot of this is coming from. I'm even majoring in music! Please NEVER stop making videos, even if it has absolutely nothing to do with vision and lackthereof. Your personality is just so friendly.
im a guy and i'm insanely in love with this guy ...
Thomas Chevalier he does have a charm to him
WoodedOrange yeah i might be wront but the way i see him , he's a simple guy who enjoy's life the easy way , and that is really attractive , being himself actually is very attractive but his smile lol , GORGEOUS
I've got a "damn shame I'm over 50" crush on Tommy. But he looks awfully contented, doesn't he? Why in the world would he be alone? :)
gays everywhere
Thomas Chevalier better homophobe than being a homo
Dude I just discovered your videos today and I love your stuff you're hilarious!
This is beautiful, more people should find love like this. We are all so superficial. Don't go for looks, get to know a person.
Such an awesome soul. Such a role model and idol. His thoughts are amazing, he never thinks negatively, he never complains about things, he's always laughing, he "sees" the good in everything. Which is more than billions of seeing people can do.
He is remarkable and everyone should take a leaf out of his book.
Everyone should be able to fall in love being blind, because that's really how it should be! One should fall in love with another's heart, and love each other for who they are, not how they look. That's one thing I really envy about you and other blind people, Tommy. You don't know what outer beauty is, only inner beauty. There's no pressure to look a certain way, because you judge each other completely based on your personality. This is how the world should be.
Actually there's a pretty good reason why we always view beauty as something important, look at this video called 'Michio Kaku: Why We're Attracted' its only 2 min. and its actually really interesting because I've always wondered why outer beauty is so important to us
Tommy have you seen Mask
Can see your point but for sighted people the physical appearance plays a role in preference. How would you date someone that is beyond your physical preference for people? See, everyone is physically beautiful to someone. That doesn't mean everyone will be physically beautiful to every single person. Should outer beauty be the main factor? No. Personality also needs to be taken into consideration and who the person is
So if some fat old grandma Susan Boyle looking ah has the best personality every and she has a sweet angel voice... You should go out with her even tho you find her physically replusive?
Get out of here with that bs... It's not all just about personality.... Looks matter too... Unless your blind... Inwhich case dating a good personality old grandma shouldn't matter
This almost made me cry... you're so lovely and sweet. I wish more people appreciated the real truth about a person, about who they can be like you do. In a way I think that sight makes a lot of people blind to the real beauty they miss. I'd love to be loved by someone who really sees who I am as a person and falls for what truly makes me me. Too many people fall for looks and not the person that's really there.
I want to be friends with this guy so bad
😭😭
Bless this man I can think of a lot of people who could use a few days of blindness
He wears a ring on his finger - is he married? Great guy!
I wish more people thought like you with this issue. The sweetest thing I've EVER heard..you rock Tommy..
Do you do that trick that Ray Charles did where he shakes a girls hand and at the same time feels her wrist to she if she's chunky? True Story.
Savage. But who cares if she's fat, he can't see...
I heard about that! Can't say it always works though. It's possible to be chunky and have thin limbs
MORE BOUNCE TO THE OUNCE, AM I RIGHT BOIZ ?!?!
LMAO Ray Charles was savage
I just heard about you tonight, and I cant stop watching these videos. Its 5am and I still am watching more and more videos.
thats not funny
I don't have to be blind in order to not follow my own penis. Even though I can see and find certain women attractive, I don't exactly go beyond that initial feel. If I did, my friend and I would be lovers, but personality wise it just doesn't match, just a really good friendship... However, it is certainly interesting to hear a blind man explain their view of attractiveness, and its funny in my case too considering I go after the same thing.
Morally, people who are not blind can learn a lot from this guy.
For him, conversations are closer to telephone conversations. I like the perspective he brings to it-- about how it's personality and character that really matter. Right on.
I wish he had touched a little more on how touch factors in. I get that it's not the first thing you get to do, but I'd be curious if there's the same sort of preferences across the visually impaired for certain things.
For example, does it ever happen after all the talking and such, they finally get to the touching part of it all, but are completely turned off because of the body type? Like for guys if she's too skinny or too curvy or whatever? Same for women; what if the guy isn't muscular or he has a bit of a gut?
What about other things, like length of hair or hair style or how tall they are? I would think it could be weird for a moment to spend the evening with someone then give them a hug at the end of the evening and find that they're really short or really tall because they're outside the average range.
Also, I imagine someone can get a sense of their partner's proportions by touch, so I'd be curious to hear if blind men still generally like women who fall into the "golden ratio" or if that's a purely visual cue. Same goes for other things like facial symmetry. I expect it matters a little, but I'm curious how much it matters for those different traits.
Just discovered your videos and they are great!! Especially interesting to me as my husband is totally blind and has been for most of his life. He says many of the same things that you do and has a lovely sense of humour like you too!
All guys should get a blind wing man.
James Harris HOW DID YOU FIND ME FOOL!?
Wow! I sure wish more people thought this way, whether they were cited or not… I have been a silent fan for a while, and look forward to your last episode of drunk openings LOL thank you for putting yourself out there and that color blue shirt looks terrific on you, kudos to your stylist! Stay safe
It seems that the blindness is a Great bullshit detector. Tommy Edison seems a very wise man.
You're blessed in that you can focus on the aspects of a potential mate that are actually important.
I guess you'd call any date with Tommy a *blind date.*
...I'll leave now
Man of the Feld I can't decide whether or not I'm upset about this xD
I hope tommy hears that joke hahaha! he would laugh at it so much haha
🤣🤣🤣
I love how your always so happy and smiling. I love your shows.
I guess you can say... all of his dates are _blind_ dates
Man, thanks for your videos and the fact that you exist on this planet. You might be blind, but within you have a ton of light. Take care.
If you open your eyes and stare at a bright light or the sun, do you feel anything?
You killed me at 1:20. Just wanna say I'm outta school now so i have a lot of time to watch your videos!! yayy!
what about pushing on your eyes. Is there any light distortion or anything? Being sighted, if i were to push on my closed eyes there would be all kinds of weird changes. I guess that doesnt happen to you
I dont think that happens for him? Its an experience of perceiving "light in the visual cortex without light actually entering the eye." Seeing as his eyes haven't absorbed light since birth im guessing that yeah it doesnt happen to him. I'd love it if i'm wrong though. (note that when he was younger he said he could i guess vaguely tell the difference between light situations and dark but not anymore...pretty cool)
You honestly brighten my day! Youre a happy person and even though you cant see you still laugh and joke around and it makes me feel so good.
u know they say that blind people who are born that way are the ones who are closest to being free of sin! i dont mean to get all religiouse, just think about it. we wouldnt care about social class so much, would lust, or suffer from jelousy( as much).. i know id be a better person, but im thankful for what i have
i can't get over how like-able this guy is! so friendly and happy! he just brightens my day!!
I was reading some of these top comments, because when I heard what Tommy had to say I knew that women would swoon. Sincerity has to be like catnip or something. However, when it comes to appearance women are as much or more concerned with it than men are, read a women's magazine look up an article or two. Appearance is all women care about. All the emotional stuff requires a man to have an "in" already. Why do women say no when a guy asks them to dance? Because they judge based on appearance first then go for the other stuff second. It is the same reason why one girl gets asked to dance while her girlfriend sips on her diet coke and wonders why guys never notice her. The guy who gets shot down feels the same way.
This reads like really severe confirmation bias.
Tommy you're amazing. I was watching a video on the Penal gland and I wondered "What do blind people see" and one of your videos came up. I've just watched a whole bunch of your videos because your humour, and view on life is amazing. I wish I had a guy like you down at the local pub, you'd be ace company plus I'd like to buy you a beer
Huh?
I wish everyone was blind, there would be no racism, no one would know where to aim their weapons, there would be no prejudiced thought. We would all like each other for who we are. Humans. Unfortunately, it would impossible to excel scientifically. We wouldn't be able to look up at the beautiful stars, the colorful plants, sunsets, we all take for granted. We would never be upset of that though because we would've never known what it looked like in the first place, kind of like imagining a new color or trying to comprehend a 4th spacial dimension.
+TheNBKiller
best comment i've seen in a while..
And we would be torn apart by every other living creature bigger than a squirrel
+TheNBKiller I dunno - he judges equally on stuff that is based on stereotypes, accents, voices. As he said, not into women with a deep voice or whatever. Easy enough to judge somebody on accent also
+TheNBKiller Life wouldn't be able to exist in that case. Perhaps violence wouldn't be a thing anymore, but prejudices would still remain.
+TheNBKiller Completely wrong. Certain races do sound differently, but ideas are what split civilizations much more than whats on the outside, and ideas would spread quicker if everyone was listening.
This guy is so down to earth and funny!
he's answered loads of the questions I had about blind people!
"...it's how they be"
Thank you for making me smile but mostly for making me see things in a different way. You may not be able to see but you certainly are sighted. Consider yourself hugged!
oh wow, how i wished the world didn't have to be blind in order to not judge others, negatively, by their looks :( everyday life would be so much easier for me :(
Your a wonderful man. Just a bloody great guy. Keep on rocking on man.
what music do you like? favorite bands?
he has mentioned in one of his videos i have seen that he likes Pink Floyd, particulary the albums Dark Side of The Moon and The Wall. don't know about any others though
You make me feel good, Tommy. Thank you for all the joy you bring to people
What do you do as a career/on a day to day basis?
Georgia Simm I know your comment is really old but at 300k subs he probably has TH-cam for money
I was raised by Deaf parents and as a result, have an interest in sensory compensation. My dad could see a penny on the floor from quite a distance! Now, watching this, I note that you have compensated for your blindness in such a way that I actually think in some ways, you perceive way more in other people than I ever could - and here's the main point...You are completely right about what is attractive. I mean totally and utterly right. Interestingly, Dad could look a person up and down just once and pretty much know whether he trusted them. I know, I know, Don't judge a book by its cover' but the thing is, he was usually spot on! We grow old, everything goes south and by the time were old, we don't look so great but the person we are remains and that is what needs to be got right first. You are one very likeable bloke. Thank you sincerely for your explanation on this subject.
I wanna know what music is like to you
I look up to anyone who overcomes. Anybody who moves on and finds happiness in life, and doesn't use the problems they have as an excuse to be miserable assholes, I consider a role model. Love your videos dude!
i wonder what he thinks of kurt cobain.
+Syd Barrett because he's blind to his looks..I wonder what he hears in him.
+HoldMyBeer music dear Watson. I wonder how he reacts to different music
+HoldMyBeer for me he is because some things start a fire in you. I feel that as great as some people are too many to name. cobain started a fire. like Bernie Sanders is starting a fire now in politics :)
Tommy I like what you are doing on this channel, you show people what it's like and let them ask questions, about how it is to be blind. You have inspired me to do the same.
U should do stand up comedy or something. So funny.
Just make sure he doesn't fall from the stage I guess?....
This is my favorite episode! Thanks for making them :D
I guess if all men went blind, women would pretty much hit the jackpot. Getting men who would listen and not judge by seeing.
So you're saying that girls doesn't judge by seeing?
I am sure they do but either lesser than men or they are just good at hiding it. Of course, from my experience. The good looking ones are more obvious that they do. However for the majority of the average ones compared to the average guy. At least seem to not judge by looks as much as the guys.
kaister901 I can guarantee that girls judge by the look just as much as men.
Hampus Norén Well if you are right. Then the media has done a great job slewing the shallow stereotype on men and forgo on women.
Please, show me some statistics on what you're writing.
How could anyone not LOVE this tommy Edison guy? He has the most wonderful laugh! His attitude is amazing as well, people we take sight for granted, and this guy has such a positive attitude despite being 'robbed' of vision. Anyways, I love your videos Tommy you're so awesome!
woman judge by appearance just as much as men, but woman will also be with someone whos ugly, if hes rich...
Yeah there's less opportunity for men to date rich ugly women ... because more men are rich therefore there are more ugly rich men.
*slow clap*
+Josh Cook If some men choose women only for their beauty, why are they surprised that some women only want them for their money?
All this videos are just amazing, congratulations Mr Edison you give very good explanations, you provide knowledge with different perspectives and you bring great lessons for everybody to learn. Now here is my question: How is sexual attraction for the blind? Is there any community for the gay blind people? Thank you so much for your videos, I do enjoy watching them.
i guess katy perry's cute xD
So much to learn from this lovely man!
What do you think of the racial problems in America?
Tommy, just want to thank you and say that I find your videos absolutely fascinating. These are questions that get at the heart of the human experience, just great.
Do you use computers at all? Can you type?
how do you think he is on youtube...
Someone posts for him.
*facepalm* being blind doesn't make you incapable, no offence, but please do some research before you offend someones his intelligence.
I know that. I've seen is videos. I had no intention of offending him and the reason he puts up these videos is to enlighten people on the day to day life of a blind person. I'm just wondering how it would work. How do you learn to type if you cant see the keys?
Bella Cutie I type without looking at the keys. Once you know where they are its easy
This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing this with the world!
My question: What was your life like growing up--at school (did you have to learn to write?), how were you treated by your parents, family, and friends? Did you sense differences in what was expected of you compared to others? How did you get where you are today? Keep smiling, take care!
Perfect for people who don't look good.
+m0nchichi Don't worry, he meant you as well.
+m0nchichi You son of a bitch
marce11o gotta find me a hot blind girl.
Your awesome! really enjoy your videos, sense of humor and helpful info. I am looking for useful tools to improve my elderly mothers lifestyle, blind, has crippling arthritis and lost her leg due to a fall and improper wound care in a health care facility. She was never into computers. She is growing depressed...but I am still I am trying. When she is happy she has such a comical sense of humor and wit about her. I can't wait to share your videos with her. Thank you.
I wish women wouldn't judge me by the size of my wallet. The world would be a better place
THANK YOU!!
you're totally right about what's important in a person
Man, I just realized, he has never watched porn...
There's more to life
VideosByJessica It was a joke, why do people take shit seriously
Nor have I.
I think this question is one that raises a particular question that I would like to ask you, or any non-sighted person, which is: do you sometimes think or have you ever thought that perhaps it is better to be sightless? Obviously there are practical disadvantages, and sighted people might say that you are missing things; but the reality is that you probably percieve many important things that they miss themselves, or that you miss things - like the extent to which someones face fits a cultural standard of beauty or whatever - that aren't actually important at all.
Awesome and inspiring stuff. Love the videos.
I have to admit, that youtube closed caption thing is getting pretty good. It picked up when he was mimicking other peoples voices and everything
funniest guy on youtube! glad i found your channel, you brighten my day good sir! you got another subscriber!
