A woman has gone viral after saying how her blind boyfriend is 'perfect' for her - as she doesn't 'have to do my hair'.
Niya Esperanza, @niyaesperanza, has been with her boyfriend, Jake, for years and the pair are very happy together - so much so that the TikTok star decided to upload a video about her partner.
As the Daily Star reports, Niya said that as Jake is blind she doesn't need to dress up or worry about her appearance at all, adding that she usually keeps her hair in a messy bun all day.
Niya listed five reasons why her partner was perfect for her, and her TikTok followers have gushed over the tongue-in-cheek post.

In the video, she said: "Number one, he never looks at other girls. This is something you want in your relationship, just look for someone who can't see.
"Number two, it doesn't matter what I look like, specifically I don't really have to do my hair."
"I don't have to hide his presents because if I don't tell him they're there, he won't go looking for them.
"Number four, unless I tell him, he doesn't know that I'm filming him, which is excellent for TikTok content for creation purposes.

"And number five, he can't drive, so it really eliminates the backseat driving."
In her next video, she sits down to explain how she sees the disability as a blessing and said "blindness isn't inherently a terrible thing".
She said: "He's had so many incredible things as a result of him going completely blind. It would not happen if he hadn't lost his sight – he wouldn't have met me, he wouldn't have had his guide dog.
"He probably wouldn't have played football at USC. Although disability can be seen as a hard thing, it can absolutely be used on people's lives as a blessing, to bless other people or bless that person's life."
Many viewers liked Niya's video and it opened up others to their feelings.
One said: "My girlfriend is legally blind and she is incredible. She never uses her disability as a crutch and she is always teaching me."
"Maybe it's a disability but that doesn't mean everything is hopeless," a second wrote. "You can't change much about life but you can make the best out of it."
