That's a good point of view. Yeah I don't think putting it in my bio will do any good, I will just mention it to a match in the chat if I feel we have good chemistry and see how they react there....

I see. For me I also think a stutter can be a dealbreaker for some people so I also want to let them know beforehand in case it's not for them. People aren't obligated to feel attracted to you despite...

I never mention it nor did I ever felt the need to. No one cared. Just when I met people, I said hey I have a stutter so it can take a bit longer for me to say things. Sometimes I say it before meetin...

I see. My stutter very, very heavily relies on how I'm feeling. Generally high doses of emotions tend to make me stutter more. Like being nervous when meeting new people or presenting work, feeling sa...

Definitely the severity of your stutter is a factor in telling / not telling early. I personally don't like to disclose it and just roll through situations. But it makes some situations difficult / we...

I talk about it often. With people on the phone when I’m having a hard day, when I interview, def before I give presentations. I used to try to hide it and then just got to a point where I realized I ...

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I don't think I want to put it in my bio but rather tell the person early on if I like them and we seem to have good chemistry. If they care enough they won't mind sur...

Anytime I start a new job or at a place I know I'll have to talk a lot. I just warn people right away that I stutter so they don't get confused when I start. You'd be surprised how many people don't e...
