Guy told me my stutter is the cause of my dating life Hello everyone. A guy I knew was asking about my dating life. I’m 24 , never really had a date and I do approach. He told me I was good looking and a lot less attractive friends he had had more succes. He hypothesized that it was because of my stutter. It was well intended and he meant it as a friend, but I didn’t like it. I did have strong social anxiety (still kinda do) regarding my stutter and perhaps that could be a turn off, but its not cool to think I should fix my stutter so girls will like me. Granted there have been some interested in me, just never really had luck yet in the ones I like. Just wanted to vent.
