Hi All

I have been reading the sidebar, dieting, lifting, etc. I have recently started to force myself to just TALK to people-specifically women. I am not looking for dates/plates, I am not at that point yet. For some background I am 5'7", 19, ~210 lbs currently, have acne that I am working on, and also have a speech impediment (stutter/stammer). I also have social anxiety. My social anxiety is bad, but not horrible, and does get worse around hot chicks.

Today, I decided to fight my social anxiety while shopping. I spotted a woman while walking down the aisle (HB ~7.5), and as I walked past her I told her I liked her pants. At first, she did not hear me. Then she asked what I said. When I told her again, I stuttered and stammered really badly. She seemed almost insulted that I complimented her.

I know that this isn't a huge deal. Wasn't trying to make anything out of the encounter, just trying to get past social anxiety. I am wondering: did the compliment go ill-received because of my much lower SMV, or because my stutter made me seem extremely nervous? Does my speech impediment make it so the cold approach won't work for me? Or did she just hate getting a compiment because of how unnatractive I am?

Thanks.
