I was nervous about my stutter earlier in life but eventually discovered it is not a turnoff to the opposite sex at all. What matters is confidence. You probably saw in this sub already but just to topically note, I made a video on this subject just the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAXkkYakGnE I do remember one cringeworthy story though. I had been talking to someone from an online dating site when I was 18 or so, and she wanted me to leave her a voice message. I had no idea what to say without stuttering and I basically stuttered through the ABCs. It hurts to remember, haha. She then expressed how much of a turnoff that was, and I called her fat in return. That was my only bad experience with regards to stuttering and dating. Plenty of bad experiences with dating unrelated to stuttering of course!
