I'm a female stutterer. In my life, I've met two male stutterers and two female stutterers, but I know statistics-wise, a disproportionate number of stutterers are male. Regarding your questions, 1) I think it's easier as a female who stutters. People often think stutterers lack self-confidence (and oftentimes we do *because* of our stutter), but society expects males above all to be confident and bold. In dating, males are expected to make the first move, and I can imagine that being intimidating af with a stutter. I feel like stuttering double-punishes males in that way. 2) I've never dated anyone with a stutter before. As an adolescent, I couldn't bear the thought of it, because I felt like it'd be a constant reminder of my own flaw, but now I'm more open to it. I doubt it'll ever happen though, since I'm now happily married to a non-stutterer. 3) It depends on who is calling my stutter cute. My friends and family can call it cute, and I wouldn't care, but they're also the ones who say it the least often since they're so used to it. If a stranger called my stutter cute, I would be mildly annoyed but then take it as a well-meaning comment and move on.
