In this case one has to take into account *uncertainty* as a factor. I think a main problem with stuttering, or any speech disorder really, is that upon first contact it can potentially be hard for the person to make a valid judgement of you. The stutterer might be perceived as drunk/nervous/have issues. Due to this it might be interpreted as a part of your personality, rather than a physical attribute. Nevertheless, as has been said before in this thread, the only way to fix this is by showing people your *actual personality* - by being who you want to be, not what people instinctively view you as.
