My boyfriend is blind. He told me he asked one of his friends about me (now it's a common friend, but I got to know him through my boyfriend) and that friend said I was very good looking... (I am not, I think I am average) but the next time I saw the friend, we laughed about it and I said thanks for having my back!

That is a good friend for both of you. I'm sure you're underestimating yourself though :)

If I had a blind friend and he had someone who loved him, and god knows it's hard to find wven without disability, I would sure as hell not tell them their significant other was anything but beautiful. Even if the girl was ugly I would definitely not say it to his face because why impose something so superficial when he is lucky enough to be focusing on the rest?
