A speech therapist would be cheaper to hire

[-] [email protected] 174 points 10 months ago

As someone who takes kids to speech therapists, it is not the same. Casual conversation is critical to help correct speech impediments, that practice with a therapist alone would not give.

But an escort is (hopefully) much more attractive

[-] [email protected] 84 points 10 months ago

Maybe he only stutters in company with attractive people and wanted to improve his self-esteem for business purposes.

He works in fashion.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago

Interestingly, the vast majority of therapists I've known are quite attractive.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Maybe. I know a few knock out speech therapists.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

I know some ugly escorts.

[-] [email protected] 83 points 10 months ago

He could be seeing a speech therapist in too, but one is giving him technique and exercise in how to improve and the other is helping him get practice.

I used to work in the Apple Store. It was quite common for people to come in, hand me a card that said something like “I’m practicing my speech, please be patient”. Was pretty wholesome

I’m practicing my speech

Ignoring the context of this thread, I'd like to imagine that they busted out a rousing, inspiring, pre-rehearsed speech, and everyone in the Apple store clapped.

[-] [email protected] 34 points 10 months ago

Yeah maybe. But would the speech therapist be open to having a session at a restaurant? Also the escort is probably easy on the eyes as well :P

[-] [email protected] 57 points 10 months ago

Not just that, but sometimes you just want to feel fucking normal. Going out and talking to someone is something that was beyond his grasp. Paying an escort for a conversation at a restaurant gives a veneer of normalcy that you can't get from a speech therapist.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

sometimes you just want to feel fucking

No, he specifically didn't want that.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

I would imagine, having the speech therapist there would make it seem more like a counselling session. With the escort, you can look past that aspect and settle on it being a normal conversation.
