Are women really more fearful, or are they more likely to admit their fears?
Anyway, here is the question. Do you think that women are really afraid of more things then men are? Or has society deemed it unacceptable for men to admit to their fears as often as women? What do you think?
Answer:
I don't know about other women but I can honestly say that I am not fearful of anything except GOD and spiders..and snakes...but any other situation. I can handle...oh and of course death..
Oh yeah and heights.
Oh man and I forgot of getting old...
shoot. I just remembered scared of being killed in fire..
anyways not me I am not fearful of anything.... smiling.
When was the last time you heard a man say he wanted to give the guns away... for the CHILDREN.
I think that you are assuming anxiety is triggered by fear. I have anxiety problems but I fear very little. My anxiety is not triggered by a fear of anything necessarily. It is triggered by stress, aggrivation, anger, but not fear.
I think that men get more chances to be out of the house than women do in a lot of those anxiety cases, but maybe that is just me interpreting the facts and not necessarily taking statistics in without looking at where they come from.
I am afraid to say that your second thought is probably more correct. I don't know if it is cultural or if it is just their nature, but men do not readily admit weaknesses.
i don' t think that women are more fearful, it is just that society thinks that we are. society has made it seem like women are weak and are fearful of everything and society has also made it seem like men are always protective and strong. so in relationships, men feel like they own someone, their wive or girlfriend. they feel like they have to be strong or else they lose their manlihood by crying or by showing too much emotion. its not that women show fear too much, its that men show their fears too less.
Assuming that men and women have an equal amount of fears is just as foolish as assuming that we don't. Since nobody can be both it'll be nearly impossible to test.
But, here's one thing I'd like to point out... Some people are simply not as controlled by their fears. It may be that men acknowledge their fear but aren't swayed by them as often as women are.
If there was a bettin' pool, that's where I'd put my money.
For the factors that cause this, could be society, nature, or both. I haven't really looked into it. But I do see huge difference between those who control their fears vs those who are controlled by their fears.
If you are in control instead of your fear, you will live a much happier and more exciting life.
Okay now To me, what this Question has evolved into is a 'Fear Factor' women are more fearful that Men? Well that is what I'm getting out of it. In this case ,then I would like to say that i see alot of angry men out there ! And I believe that all anger , stems
from FEAR.
I think Renee nailed it.
