I am 57 years old and recently ventured into online dating. Twice now guys have rudely told me on the phone that I speak as if I have a speech impediment or a head injury. In my opinion nothing has changed nor have any other guys mentioned it in my entire life. The guys immediately unmatched me. It's their loss , but it still feels demoralizing. Even if I did have a speech impediment, I am a person of value , but their behavior hurts. And I hadn't even had any alcoholic beverages!
