That’s great! Saying my name without fear has helped me so much and I can actually do it now, which is something I’ve generally struggled with for over 15 years!...

Therefore, if your stutter is truly visible, mention it, whether it be or your profile or during the first messages. I feel it's easier to deal with rejection when you don't know the person... Recen...

I know that situation pretty well since I am a guy that was (at least until a few years ago) kind of a tall, athletic, longhaired beau. Maybe because of my stutter, maybe because of my character (some...

IMO, people with a stutter will probably never be completely fluent. The latest research shows that it's a neurological disorder. However, anxiety and tiredness can make it worse. Personally, I find t...

I (22F) guess it depends on how visible your stutter is and how comfortable you are with it. I prefer not mentioning it on my profile. I feel mere strangers do not have to know that. It feels too pe...

I usually don’t tell people, but i think it’s a great idea. If i told people i stutter, i probably wouldn’t stutter at all because the fear of it would be gone. Just be matter of fact and say “hey, ...

I haven't. Instead, I'll disclose in person and would suggest that, as that way you can actually see how they react and decide from there whether you want to continue. Or if you video chat before a da...

No but mention it before you meet up. It helps them prepare and relaxes you a little bit more. If it’s a problem for them, they don’t deserve to be in your life anyway....

Don’t put it in your dating profile but do tell them either prior to meeting up or once you meet up and start talking. I feel more comfortable talking to them if they know about it....

I only tell people I stutter, after I stutter in front of them. I start to stutter; I pause and instead of pushing through the block I say "excuse, my stutter" then I resume speaking. Usually that h...
