I have a moderate to severe stutter. I have never had a problem dating or with women. I have always dated/met my serious relationships through friends and during group activities. First serious high school girlfriend I met in my choir class. Second serious girlfriend I stole from a friend. (Not proud of but lasted 3-years). First wife I met in a college study group. Second wife I met at a mutual friend’s Halloween party. In-between serious relationships I did online dating. I always told them fairly quickly about my stutter online as to not shock them when we met. A few we even had conversations about my stutter on the first date. Some didn’t work out, some did. My stutter is not who I am as a person. It is a small part. I put everything on the table for someone to look at a hopefully decide to pick up. I show people all of me. The good, the bad, and the stutter. There is something genuine about openly stuttering while being confident. People can usually sense fear and bullshit a mile away. Additionally, I am a bit disappointed with the attitude expressed in your post about how dating standards for women are different and thinking women do not have to be confident. I showed it to my wife and her response (after laughing) was, “Well damn, I was pretending to be confident all those years for nothing?” Changing your view on women in general may also be a good place to start on fixing your dilemma. Good luck.
