The thing to remember is the women you are considering dating are also self-conscious about their own issues. They might be worried about how they look, how they are perceived, how they sound when they laugh, and a million other things. We all have our own idiosyncrasies and imperfections. You talk a bit different from others but it's quite likely you are more attuned to this than they are. And the woman you are attracted to might be obsessed with some aspect of her body or something else that you are not even aware of. It's all part of the weirdness of dating. All of my past girlfriends and wife have said that my stutter was one of the things that they were attracted to. And don't forget, would you really want to date someone who dismisses someone else because of their imperfections? What kind of horrible, shallow person is that? Can you imagine a life with someone so awful? Stuttering is a great way to weed out the fake phoney shallow people for those who can see the whole person.
