Afraid of women/men for what? I really just hope it's all exaggeration. They just give them way more than they really have, if they have any at all. I can understand not wanting to deal with pain, but going so far as to say you are afraid of an entire gender because of one or more experiences? C'mon now.

We're all just imperfect people.
Exactly.

Yep. I believe that is what I see on the dating sites. I obviously don't know how women are behaving on those sites, but the men will look and look and look, but will not respond to any combination of winks, likes, favs, chats or emails.

The only explanation is that they are afraid of the whole process:
1. Making contact via any form of messaging for fear of being rejected
2. Getting to know a woman - and * gulp * start to LIKE her, then getting rejected
3. Asking her out with the possibility of being rejected
4. Starting a relationship that may or may not continue

So, they convince themselves that being alone is better.

The thing is, they don't think that (some of us) women are thinking/feeling the same things.

Well rejection is just difficult for some. It happens, and everyone goes through it. But for some, it's upsetting, and embarrassing.

So, some people are just more shame-faced. A rejection just opens a can of worms in self-doubt.

Men and women go through this. It's mainly rejection they are afraid of. Some go into self-hating and doubt. Others become bitter and assume everyone else has the problem, and in comes they gender-hating. because it alleviates their doubts when they can pin in on the other party. "It's not me, it's them."

It does open doubt.
