Michael, You ask a question that many of us asked ourselves when we were your age. As Dale Williams, said, the answer varies. I know one PWS who told me that he would have never married his wife if he didn't stutter. He felt he better take what he could. I know other people who stutter who married beautiful, smart women who they are crazy about. I think that stuttering is as unattractive as you make it to be. If you can honestly believe that stuttering is just a part of who you are (and maybe a rather insignificant part at that) I'm guessing it will not look unattractive to anyone you want to date. However, if you say it is only part of you, but still feel it is a big negative part of you, I bet it will be unattractive. Good luck seeing stuttering for what it is, and what it isn't.
