I got into a debate with a woman on Reddit in a dating subreddit. I told her that I was very successful with online dating even though I have a moderate to severe speech impediment (diagnosed by an SLP) and she said there is no way. She said her and her friends or anyone she knows would never engage with someone who has a difficult time communicating or couldn’t communicate. So as a person who has been successful with women and who currently has a girlfriend, there are many women out there that would dismiss someone because of their speech impediment.
