No one is going to call you names, don't be fucking silly. For one, online dating is a mess. It's just not worth it because all the guys are on there looking for women, and even the worst women have the pick of the litter. Don't waste your time on that. Including Tinder. Women like a guy with confidence. Given, that your confidence get on low levels because of your stuttering, it's something you have to work on. This is not a problem that has to do with your stuttering essentially. This has to do with the fact that you have to man up, learn to approach a girl and play around. **CONFIDENCE IS KEY** If you don't have confidence, fake it till you make it. Think you're the greatest thing that walked on this planet. You don't want women, no, they want YOU. You're just the man, and setting the first step by showing that. You stutter? Who cares. It's a small deficit that doesn't define you. Actually that is a very good attitude to have towards stuttering in general. **DON'T GIVE A FUCK** It will hamper you less in life in general. You are you, stutter or not. Also you get turned down a lot. **A LOT** I tell you. 1-3% success rate is normal for ANY guy that is not a famous movie actor. Try not to see it as another dent in your self esteem. See it as something like, she is not for me, but I'm an awesome guy, and I'll find an equally awesome girl, and she was not that. **SHYNESS IS NOT AN OPTION, YOU ARE NOT SHY** Approach, talk, and not with any intention in the start necessarily. Just talk and see what it turns out to be.
