I'm also in the same situation. I got to college, workout regularly, and have an above average physique. Yet, I struggle speaking with girls and have never been in any relationships. But I don't think you should use roids. Because, honestly, it's just a false hope you are creating for fluency. Also, causing such big hormonal changes for our body while we don't compete professionally is not worth it and if roids worked to cure stutter, I am sure it would be a common medical approach to stuttering as ped's and speech impediment have existed for quite a while. If we are capable of speaking with our family and close friends, I think we will find someone that understands us and when we find that someone, they are gonna be special. Rather than thinking about supplemental help, we should focus on building a strong mentality. The kind of mindset where we can accept what life has given to us, be who we are, and live life to the fullest. I also don't have this strong mentality yet, but every day, I am working towards building one. This journey towards developing a strong mindset has helped me a lot in creating a healthy mind with minimal negative thoughts. The most difficult part of our current situation is that all of our close friends are finding someone while we struggle to even make new friends because of our stutter. This then leads to self-pity, and I have realized that self-pity for me has been the worst thing. It just makes you feel like a coward. When I feel down and start spiraling back to self-pity mode, this is what I say to myself: Fuck the self-pity, life is a lot more difficult for a lot of people around the world. I can't expect it to be the same for everyone. I can't change that. I can't change the fact that in this life, I have a stutter. However, the thing I can change is my mindset. My mindset towards my stutter. Yes, I stutter. Yes, I make weird faces when stuttering, but it is what life has dealt me. The only way now is it to accept it and move forward. P.S. This is just my new way of approaching things. I don't think that this is the only approach that everyone should follow and I certainly don't claim that it will work in getting a girlfriend, but if you change your mentality from self-pity to this, it might change(even by a tiny percentage) your day to day perception towards your stutter.
