I’d say that a blind person is less prejudiced than a sighted one when it comes to, hum, love… For instance: in High School, a (sighted) boy will dream with her class’ bimbo, and the (sighted) girl will sigh for the class’ jock (all right, heterosexual examples, but I’m afraid the gay/lesbian equivalents would be similar)… On the other hand, a blind student may value the plain looking girl or boy for reasons other than their external appearance, like their smell, their voices, the way they express themselves. In short, the blind person here will be more sensible about the how the person acyually is than how that person’s external appearance is.

For the blind person’s partner, also, I guess that it can be relaxing to be with a person you like and not be concerned about what he/she thinks about what you’re wearing, how’s your hair, etc… Silly as it sounds, attending to a date with your best shots only to get a snarky comment about your hair by your beau can be terribly off-putting.

That having been said… Why does Matt always has affairs with spectacularly beauteous dames? Paraphrasing my dearest Mr. Nelson, I wonder why Murdock always goes for the super-model type… Must be his enhanced super-senses.

Because, honest, having Matt involved with someone who isn’t a “hot” superwoman (and, hey, I just dig Dakota) could be refreshing. I wonder why, in the DCverse, Nightwing and Oracle can be lovers but not Matt and Becky Blake in the Marvelverse.
