Of course stuttering is not attractive. No secret there. The better someone speaks, the more charming they are. But so what? Confidence is a much bigger factor. And a lot of stutterers lack confidence. A stutterer with confidence will achieve more than a fluent person who lacks confidence. If you don't have control over your fluency, so be it. \*\* Be confident. Treat people well. People respond to both confidence and kindness. \----- Preaching bit... Skip if you like ;) ​ \*\* I always advocate for speech therapy to improve fluency. I never just leave the question of stuttering to "so be it." But you weren't asking about help with your stutter, so I won't to preach.
