My boyfriend has a slight lisp and I think it's cute :) but he wants to go to speech therapy to get rid of it because he doesn't like it :(
Would you date someone who has a lisp through thier speech?
I would and have, I was engaged to them.. well, we didn't break up because of their lisp, lol.. they were super self-conscious to me. But I am hard-of-hearing; as a child, I lisped and could barely speak until going to speech therapy, which was hard work for me. I hated speech therapy. It is hard work! But maybe that's because I was starting from scratch, really.. I say he should embrace it :)
But of course it's ultimately his choice! :)

Oh lord no. No offense, but I find a lisp completely unattractive. I have one friend, a guy who is older than me, that speaks with a lisp. And while people have suggested once or twice that we date, I am just not attracted to him at all, partially due to his lisp (I mean, there are other factors too, but the lisp is one of them).

I have a lisp and I was bullied over it so I can see why your boyfriend would want to get rid of it. But once I started university I've had guys telling me it was hot, and they loved it so I embraced it. If you find it cute it should boost his confidence majorly! ^^
It's absurd that someone wouldn't date someone because of a lisp, and I think anyone who thinks that way is quite mean. But on the other hand I completely understand why your boyfriend would want to fix his lisp. I suggest telling him how you feel about it and let him choose from there. (Also don't complain if he does end up fixing his lisp, be encouraging).

Just because he has a lisp doesn't mean anything, I would totally date some one with a lisp. That shouldn't lower his chances, you could end up giving up a very loving smart guy who would give you the world just because he has a lisp.

Depends. I’m currently seeing someone who lisps. I noticed it a lot at first but have gotten more used to it. I’m worried I’ll start to notice it again and maybe even start to annoy me. Is it ok to tell/ask someone with a lisp if they would consider treatment?

It wouldn't bother me but if it would make him feel more confident, and maybe more successful at work, let him go to a speech therapist.

Sure, doesn't bother me especially if its not obvious.
I currently date someone who has a speech impediment. -
I would. I think it sounds sexy for a chick. Guys with a lisp I know its wrong but I automatically think they are gay.
-
Yes I would, and i have. I don't see how it would even be a problem, everyone has flaws and lisps are actually so cute. And if he doesn't like it and wants to go to speech therapy support him on it and let him. After all it is his choice.
-
Well support him but while u support him u could tell him how u feel
-
Depends, they have to win me over. I used to hate emma stone because her lisp, but in that last spiderman movie I just fell for her.

One of my ex boyfriends had a lisp! I absolutely loved it, I thought it was really cute!
-
I wouldn't care about something so small. A lisp is not a deal breaker for me.
-
this has literally nothing to do with you, you can still understand him, and he's going to get therapy for it so...
-
He'll get over it, even if he quits paying for "help"
once he gets to a better, less stressful place in life -
He wants to be a man and tough not sweet and weak. Let him fix it
-
My boyfriend has it too. Big that's because he decided it was cool to pierce his tongue when he was younger. Tell your boyfriend to embrace it.

If he wants to fix it that's his choice and you shouldn't tell him not to.
-
I mean if i like the person that won't be a problem
-
wouldn't bother me...
though i think if that's his choice/decision, let him.. -
