I tried it a few times, because friends were into pickup. At first it was pretty scary, but I was motivated and wanted to show off so I approached a few women. But after some time it was harder and harder, it felt forced and we stopped. Stuttering itself wasn't that big of a problem for me, but the way it affected me (and I'm already shy/introverted) was an issue. Now I can't even imagine doing it.
