So after reading comments here i figured i have a pretty heavy stutter, me saying a single sentence w/o stuttering is pretty fucking rare. But then again that might make me more accepting of my stutte...

very little actually. My last relationship lasted 1.5ish years, and she didn't even know I had a stutter, until I told her. what it does affect is meeting women. It takes a lot to say hey to a rando...

While I understand what you're saying and I agree with a lot of it, I'm sure many would disagree on what effect skin color has on abilities. Not because of an inherent direct connection with abilities...

Well I can only talk for me, but I have red hair (not the typical ginger orange though, more like brownish-red) and I don't mind that at all. My stutter has really gotten better over time, and most o...

I guess redheads could say the same, people with freckles etc. A few dozen years ago it used to be that women with dark skin were frowned upon, and women with really fair skin were popular, so much so...

It's more like "*and* that"... Not just that. But I see what you mean, although I found it flattering when a guy once told me they like my ears, even though I don't. I'm not saying you should like i...

Well but its also not exactly flattering if people like a trait of yours that you hate yourself. Then it's more like "You like *that* about me? Ugh, weirdo."...

I definitely have never been told it's hot. Though I have been told that my stutter (and the manner in which I have overcome it) marks me as someone who is a master of their destiny by a girl I dated ...

I guess it's not dumber. I guess the main thing would be to be careful not to fetishize them. So go with the whole genuineness thing....

I heard about it on a stuttering podcast a few years ago, of a girl who found this dude's stutter to be cute. It's been my fantasy since then to find someone like that :D...

Yup, I've heard lots of people say that (especially when a celebrity like Gareth Gates stutters). But this is more than 'cute'... it's a physical turn on, it's hot! And yes it can become an obstacle ...

Fair enough. The same way I don't see how big boobs can be attractive (well, boobs in general if I have to be honest). I'm sure all of us can find stuff we don't find attractive that others do. :)...

No, I'm not saying it to be nice! :P It physically turns me on (don't make me describe the physical effects, please! ;)). And yes, I'm aware of the blocks and also secondary things that can come with ...

I'm a male gay, so answers from guys are of particular interest, but actually it'd be interesting to see if there's a difference between how males and females view this (also between gay and straight,...

What you're saying makes perfect sense. It's not easy, but I'll try to explain: It's definitely not a perceived confidence thing. For me, the more confident someone who stutters is (with me anyway - ...

I guess the latter. I didn't consciously force myself to go out specifically to lessen my stuttering, I just wanted to be less like a lone wolf. I always hated it though that when I had a bad stutter,...

I had a moderate stutter when I went to HCRI. I couldn't hide it. The founder/CEO or whatever is kind of scammy/unscientific. The therapists are great though, and you will be fluent when you leave if...
