Well this is the first. 26M (gay) was on a dating site & this older gentlemen offered me some money to go clean a couple rugs he had. I’m about to go to on a trip so I need the extra money. Before I leave I send him a text basically giving him a heads up about my stutter (I do this with anyone I meet for the first time for my own comfort). This man literally replied saying that I don’t need to come over anymore because “stuttering gives him anxiety” & “he’ll find someone else to do it”…? I’m kinda in shock & highly annoyed lmao. Like wtf does my stutter have to do with helping someone clean? Ugh just need to vent. Thanks xx
