Before meeting my wife. I think it sometimes helped me. Especially out in a public social setting. So many women have a natural defence mechanism up when talking to new guys and I think my stutter sometimes broke through that defence. Remember that meme of the fat guy in a crowd of people and he's shirt said "I'm fat, let's party"? You just have to have a bit of that attitude. If you are ok with your stutter 95% of people and anyone that matters will be too.
