Have to be honest, having a stutter has never affected my ability to be in relationships or have hook ups. Stutter generally improves when had a bit to drink but also girls don’t care if you’re a genu...

I promise you that you care SO MUCH more about your stutter that most perspective SOs will (especially if they take the initiative to get to know you). Make the issue known early, and you may be surpr...
