Yes, yes, and yes. Though....eh, I'd add, you don't have to be totally confident all the time. I don't think I'm the only female who finds a little bit of insecurity/shyness in a guy sexy.... Also,...

I'd say it's only an issue if you have really severe stutter and can't keep conversation with other people. In most cases, it's not stutter per se that's the problem, but the effect it has on you (le...

100% agree. Stuttering especially is not something that turns the opposite sex off, in my experience. The whole "league" thing is usually perpetuated by people who haven't had much relationship experi...

No, no way close. You are unique because you stutter. Of course this entirely depends on how severe your stutter is, but there's nothing standing in your way for having a chance at any eligible woman....

Consider that dating and long-term relationships are very different things. Dating is difficult as it requires us to introduce ourselves and our personalities efficiently, not easier said than done. (...

I think it comes down to how you view it. I would not consider myself undateable. However, I would consider the pool of girls I date to be smaller. Then those girls whose chemistry and I click even sm...

I don't think so at all. I'm mean, as stutterers we're certainly discriminated against, in many respects, but in my experience we're in the same "dating league" as anyone else. I was never the guy to ...

I totally agree with this. The whole "league" thing has always made me sick. I don't even want to be around people like that. I mean, literally, when I hear people talking like that -- strangers --...

I want so badly to just not care, but it's really hard most of the time... I kind of wish everyone who stuttered could do it openly so that it wouldn't seem so alienating when we do slip up and feel l...
