Yea they have no idea. It’s easy to look down on people paying for sex when you’ve gotten sex your whole life. Or you’ve never dealt with getting rejected for things you can’t control. I would honestly rather a woman tell me that I’m ugly than “I can’t date you because you stutter.” Because I can improve my looks. Plus, someone out there will at least find me decently attractive. But something completely out of my control like stuttering, it’s heartbreaking to know I can never change it. And to know, my entire life will be spent struggling to communicate and getting rejected over and over again, it’s a terrible feeling. You’re not alone. I’m sure there’s many others with stutters who have done the same.
