I realize women don't marry in their teens anymore, but what would be the reason behind someone approaching 40 to have never married and have such a phobia toward commitment?
Men tend to behave this way....but some women do as well.

It's quite a sweeping generalization to assume all (or most) single women who are 40 have a "phobia towards commitment."
The women I know you are this age and single almost always happy about this. They had no interest in having kids and have focused on their careers. All of them seem pretty happy and content. In fact, I've never met any 40 year old woman who was afraid of commitment. Hasn't it occured to you that it's possible to be single and 40 and have no regrets about it?

Are you assuming that this never married person approaching 40 has this phobia or is it known?
If it's known the possible reasons could be:
increasing male misogynists
fear of losing freedom
fear of long term intimacy
fear of losing identity
fear of being with the wrong man
taking in the divorce statistics
taking in the studies that most married women would not have married their partner if given the chance to repeat
taking in the studies that more women than men are unhappy being married
Many married women I met & know say if gals want to experience heterosexeual married life as a woman they should get a job then get jobs as a maid, cook, nanny, and prostitute. Not that happy of a depiction to me.
Some do, most don't. Not everyone is the same, has the same priorities, or similar opportunities. So, Big Deal - some women don't find anyone worth commiting to! There are bound to be some people who do not follow the "typical" path.
Or perhaps they never meet a man at their level of education or achievement who is also willing to marry? Seems plenty of good women just can't find the right man.
Fear. Fear of being hurt again fear of giving your heart to someone only to have them dance on it. Regardless of the persons sex we all have the same fears. We're not so different as some make us out to be.

Why question a woman about it, if you don't question a man? Seems like the reasons would be similar.
