what do women fear

[joekerr31]

They fear just about everything. Compared with a man, they live in a state of perpetual anxiety, which makes it easy for politicians to manipulate them. Which is why they weren't originally entitled to vote

:crackup:

 

[Francisco d'Anconia]

There's a common thread though most of this list; everything leads to their fear of not being valued or accepted.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Women fear the following circumstances with men:

Infidelity.
Dishonesty.
Lacking in good parenting skills.
Not performing one's share of the work in the relationship.
Not maintaing appearance.
Abusive verbally and/or physically.
Inflexible.
Lazy, not wanting to stay gainfully employed.
Lacking in compassion and sensitivity.
Secretly hidden unfavorable behaviors.
Non committal.
Inability to make decisions.
Unable to maintain love and affection, and the desired amount of attention over the long term.
Eventually losing one's masculinity in favor of appeasement to the woman. Basically handing your nuts over to her.
Secretly lacking "take charge", leadership traits.
Sexually inexperienced, so the woman will feel uncomfortable heading into a consistent sexual relationship because she may be more experienced, and thus may also want to try kinkier things. She may not want to feel "dirty" or "slutty" by secretly having certain sexual fantasies fulfilled(really, the fear of having her fantasies unfulfilled due to the inexperience of the man), and may find it very hard to be compatible with a man with sex "issues".

A good list but these are only symptoms of the fear of insecurity. While men's fear of rejection colors his mental schemas and the resultant decisions he makes accordingly, it is a woman's fear of insecurity that colors her own. Women greatly fear insecurity and make long term decisions based on a man's ability to provide it - up to and including her providing it for herself when a man is unable or unwilling to provide it for her. An indefinite lack of security is what women fear.

These might overlap with insecurity:

- Fear of being judged (most guys could give a sh!t less, most women freak)
- Fear of being physically harmed / disfigured

A woman's ONLY fear is of being alone.
