+1 Stuttering set me on the path to never trying to date. But based on what I see out there; it doesn't look like I'm missing much....

I never wanted it to be about who has it "harder" so to speak, rather just the differences we experience. I don't believe I said, nor did I ever want to imply, that one gender has it more difficult th...

In America you're the majority ;) 50.4% to be exact. So assuming you're from the USA you're the majority in a minority. :) I get you, but I wholeheartedly disagree with the dating thing. Just goin...

Guy here, but I totally understand what you're saying. I often felt isolated myself because of my speech. However, I think that generally speaking, vulnerability is more expected from girls, because ...

Interesting points! I feel like stuttering can impact our confidence in different ways. With men, you feel this need to be confident as you mentioned above. As you also mentioned, stuttering makes t...

This is a very one-sided outlook to have on it. The kind of guy who finds vulnerability or lack of confidence an appealing trait in a woman is not the kind of guy you want to date. In literally any wa...

I've always had the exact opposite belief, as in that male stutterers have it harder in the dating world than female stutterers. Women find confidence in men very important and stuttering can make it...

I understand what you're saying. I've never spoken with or even come into contact with a female stutterer. I've always stuck to the belief that my stutter is a good barometer of others' character. E...

Maybe it is just the people I've talked with, but dating and the reaction of parents were huge differences. The best example I can think of is how women tend to find men who stutter "endearing" becaus...

In normal people, stuttering on a date is seen as a clue that you're "twitterfied" (to use a term from "Bambi") with someone, and it can come off as charming, at least initially. ...

Mention it, if you feel the need to. If she's worth your time, it won't matter to her. As for the date, try and relax, be confident. She might already know. You got a date with her, so she's interest...

Don't talk too much. Let her do most of the talking. Incidentally she will be happy to talk most of the date. Most people are like that. If for some reason you get stuck in a bad block you can mention...

Just relax and have a good time. When I'm on a date, I talk about my stutter when it's obvious. If she's really as great you say she is, then she won't mind. If she does mind, then she's not worth it....

Stutter on a date

Stutter on a date Next Friday i have a date with the woman of my dreams. I`ve wanted her for the last 10 years, and i tend to freeze up when she`s around. I`ve mostly spoken to her at parties where im...

I tend to stutter more around people I'm comfortable with in comparison to me stuttering much less when I directly talk to people I don't know. I assume it's more of a lack of effort around people I k...

I can sometimes fake it around people I'm attracted to by carefully choosing my words and trying really hard to impress them. Also I stutter much less around people I'm physically and emotionally comf...

Stutters are a fickle beast. I stutter around my mom everytime I see her, but not around certain friends who I feel extremely comfortable with. I've had one SO in my life who neutralized my impediment...

Dating

Dating Does anyone else dread meeting up with someone from a dating app in person when they don't know you stutter. Curious if anyone on here as been on the receiving end of this...

I met my wife at a mutual friend's Halloween party. We were standing next to the punch bowl and she asked me what I did for a living. Rest is history. Confidence is everything. You can stutter and ...

Speaking from personal experience, it helped that I'm a hunk and looked great in uniform :) Other than that I don't stutter nearly as much when I first meet people. It's after I'm comfortable with s...
