I don't think so at all. I'm mean, as stutterers we're certainly discriminated against, in many respects, but in my experience we're in the same "dating league" as anyone else. I was never the guy to have tons of one night stands, but I had several relationships before I met my wife. It was only challenging when I let it be an obstacle, when I stopped caring so did women. The woman I've dated, as well as my wife, have all told me that being a whiny bitch about stuttering, or being full of self pity about it, is much more of a turn off than actually stuttering.
