Home >> Dating >> Approach anxiety why do you think it exists?
31.07.2007, 21:15 quote
Most men suffer intense fear at the thought of approaching a woman they fancy and some women too at the thought of approaching a man. This is widely know as approach anxiety. Does anyone know why it exists and seems to be hard wired into our brains?
31.07.2007, 21:22 quote
I think you just have a fear of approaching females in any way, shape or form.
WE ARE NOT OBJECTS.
Which part of this is not getting through your "OMG A FEMALE LOOKED AT ME ONCE IN 1987" braincell?
Fucks sake, Stoney, can you speak to people in general? Because, women are people in general. You are setting a terrible example for men. If some new females come to this forum and see this kind of shit as a top post they're going to scatter faster than a cluster bomb. You're giving men a bad name and making yourself look ridiculous.

Dont think anyone actually knows why it exists. Just think that it is the way some people are and how they react in social situations

I am not talking about myself in this topic. I am just asking why does approach anxiety exists in both men and women!

I don't know actually, Stoney. I just take the world, and its people, at face value. I do not look on anyone as a potential date or shag. I like to meet people, speak to people and get to know them, regardless of their gender because people are interesting and you can learn a lot from them.
I think if the 'single and looking' species actually took a step back and stopped 'looking' and just listened and were interested in them as a person and not a potential anything, then there'd be more scope for anything more.

I agree with what you say but also feel it's worth adding that if a lot of people didn't see anyone that talked to them as a member of the 'single and looking' species things would be a lot more comfortable in general. Having said that, it also depends on the environment you are in as to how people are perceived when just starting an innocent conversation. If people can't take me for face value when having an innocent conversation then they're not worth speaking to a lot of the time, or at least that's how I see things.

EXACTLY.
Also, it's really easy to tell when someone has an 'ulterior motive' rather than a natural attraction.

There are far too many factors to point in one particular direction and say "that's your problem!". All people have to do is realise why they themselves can't approach others and start talking, cause if you have to ask, you'll be to ignorant to understand your own reasons. Step back, evaluate yourself, get over them and step forward. Push your fears aside. It's not like you will ever see most people again anyways, or at least both remembering the other.
