Why are women so afraid of bugs/insects?

[Keyspirits]

What makes you so scared of insects? What are they going to do to you or scared they might get into your luvly spots? x)

[Anonymous]

Guys are afraid of them but they're not allowed to show it. However it is socially acceptable for girls to fear bugs. Guys may also have more exposure to bugs and stuff. Girls prefer indoor activity while boys prefer outdoor activities. Well at least thats how it was when I was growing up. Not so much anymore because my little cousin doesn't play outside. He plays video games and he is afraid of bugs.

I have never been afraid of insects and even had a pet praying mantis as a kid.

[Keyspirits]

Lol wanna fight mine? Have u ever catch a brown one?

[Opinion Owner]

you got one?
nah I haven't caught a brown one. I don't we had those in my area. The green ones look better anyway

[Keyspirits]

Nah not anymore but back when i was a kid, i catch and touch every living creatures on sight x)
I always think the brown one are stronger and faster due to its unique color

[Opinion Owner]

why did you neg me though?

[Keyspirits]

Meaning?

[Opinion Owner]

why did you give me a down vote

[Keyspirits]

Lol that wasn't meh, ur like the 5th person to accuse meh of it >.>

[Opinion Owner]

Sorry, I thought it was you cause of the brown vs green praying mantis thing
Damn neg bandits

[DivaMonae]

Well just in case you weren't aware bugs bite sometimes it's just spots, your skin can start to itch, oh and many spread poison.

Also many of them look strange to us my biggest fears are spiders some are big as well as small and they're hairy, have many eyes, and 8 legs, and contains poison.

As for other insects I dislike/fear on the top of my head Beatles, Roaches, scorpions, and many other insects I don't know the names of.

[Stacyzee]

I just don't like to sight of the really huge ones.
I remember me and my son stared at a small little spider at the museum, while every one else ran away.
Bad idea...
the spider spun its web right in our face.
We jumped back real fast.

If there's a bug...run for your life!!

[Stacyzee]

Creepy looking spider too...never saw one with a face like that ':'

[Anonymous]

I don't like them either!

Cockroaches are fucking disgusting. They are an indicator of filth and decay and unlike a bear which you can obviously avoid you never know when a roach might scurry up your leg into your pants or across your path under the refrigerator to avoid light. Anyone with sense knows this.

[beachgirl1995]

Cockroaches are usually found in unsanitary places.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah roaches are NASTY. Ants don't bug me so much, they're small and if you smash them they don't leave nearly as much gooey guts all over the place. Ants aren't nearly as fast as roaches either, and all they want to do is go after sugar like a cookie left out on the counter...I can relate.

[llorando]

What makes me so scared of insects, is the fear of them touching me D=.

[Keyspirits]

And also the feeling of them crawling on u D=

[llorando]

I hate when bugs crawl on me eek.

[ManaX]

It's a irrational fear with an origin that's hard to define. Someone can't really verbalize why they're scared, they just are. Some scholars suggest that our fear of insects stemmed from a prehistoric fear of actually deadly insect/bugs. Just didn't go away for some. Others suggest it could be due to social learning, your parents are afraid of them/some one overreacts to the presence of them and as a child you begin to believe it's something to be afraid of. Could also just be due to experience. You had a bad run in with a bee when you were young, now you're deathly afraid of bees and other insects.

[Anonymous]

I think it's more of a programming question.. Men have been "out there in the field" for millions of years, whilst women have almost always fell into a more protected sitiations. By that I mean that males developed a (irrational, if you want it) hability to just ignore the fear of bugs, the same way that a person who lives next to pounds would live to ignore animals like frogs.

This makes sense to me, not sure if it's true but definetely explains a lot.

That being said, there are plenty of girls that don't mind bugs, as well as there are many guys that can cry if a cockroach touches them.

I personally don't mind any type of animal, except for spiders. Hate spiders.

[Keyspirits]

Lol i would LOL so hard if a boi cried to a cockroach x)
Im not afraid but im afraid to touch it. The ugliest one are the ones ill stay thr farthest away from

[Opinion Owner]

I have a masters on land biology, and you would be shocked at what I've seen guys do. Cry because a dead tapeworm touched their hand, faint while dissecting a pidgeon..

[Keyspirits]

Ofcourse dissecting organs is perrty gross >.>
The only dituation when im probably cry is when i get bitten =P

[Opinion Owner]

Haha don't worry, the most you can usually get yourself if bitten by an animal is a nasty rash :D

[Keyspirits]

I think i only got bit once in my life time. While i was standing next to some cars on the parking lot, something sting my neck from behind and i slap it quick and its like some kinda big wasp. That hurts tho..mang...once in a life time experience alrdy scared meh enough to approach odd looken bugs x)

[Opinion Owner]

Wasps are nature's jerks. They don't really do anything besides eating a couple parasites, they don't even polinate flowers. They just go around being aggressive and mating with even more aggressive wasps and stinging people.

[Keyspirits]

Yeah..i always think poison the first thing if i get bit. Thats what scared meh haha. Gonna die from poison! D=

[Anonymous]

Because they're nasty as fuck. The other day there was a huge butterfly next to my door outside of my apt. I was terrified! It was just there hanging on to the outside wall and it was there for 2 whole days. I thought it was going to eat me. Then on the second day this 7 year old decided to grab it and take it home. I was like oh shit a brave little boy :D

[Keyspirits]

[Keyspirits]

Lol dont mind the comment, commented on the wrong section =P

[Awsdrd1990]

thisTOO ^^^^

[cun7n1nja]

I'm not afraid of most of them, I just prefer to avoid touching many of them if I can help it. I don't like being surprised by them at close range, lol. Some I will catch and have no problem handling though.

[angelstar07]

Because they have sneaky little evil creatures. If they like you, they will tickles you. If they don't like you, they will bite you. Then if you tries to kill it or threat it, they will bring an army and attack you. XD

[angelstar07]

Because they are*

[Keyspirits]

Lol good one! Seems real!

[Masana]

i used to have a tarantula and a snake , had to do them away because my siblings would take them out and play with them, not really smart if they are pretty fast, so I am quite okay with insects I used to "operate" them when ai was little

[Keyspirits]

What the "L" they dont bite? o.O

[Masana]

Well yhe snake did bot because she was tamed and used to human contact, also she was not poisonous , the tarantula on the other hand did not have anything to bite with anymore they were cut off.

[Keyspirits]

Ahh i see..it still seems terrifying O.O

[Masana]

Hahaha yeah, my mom always stayed that way and checked every 5 min if they were still in their "cage"

[Awsdrd1990]

omg im guilty of this!

i literally have gone hunting with my dad and brother 100times seen bears , dangerous snaked, wild cats etc .

but i RUN if i see a roach in my house or anything like that lol i FREAK> I don't know why!

[Keyspirits]

Lol why scared of rach when ur not even scared of other insects? They're juz as harmless as the ones u encounter while hunting

[Awsdrd1990]

maybe because they are creepy looking I don't know i have always been this way..and they are usually where there not supposed to be IN a HOUSE OR BUILDING lol

[Keyspirits]

Well im not afraid of the small regular ones but I've seen big ones and they are fawken nasty LOL! Omg i ran away from it!

[Awsdrd1990]

lollol

[Keyspirits]

Yeah..juz imagine stepping on it with all the liquid and nastyass gutz ur feeling under ur feet lol. Juz thinken about it gross the shiat outta meh! =O

[springocelot]

because they're ugly, creepy, filthy, can sneak up on you, can spread disease, and potentially poisonous

however, black ants and common house flys are manageable

[lamebabe]

Because they're creepy! As soon as I see a gross bug I feel like there are 5 more crawling on me. I do like certain bugs like earth worms and ladybugs, though.

[Keyspirits]

I use to play with worms as a kid but thinken now, its phreaken gross! Im not ever touching them again! Also maggots LOLOL! xD

[lamebabe]

Agggh maggots are horrible!

[Keyspirits]

Haah i know. Thinken way back...man im soo stupei!

[Ericka]

Ew. Maggots. Last week, I went to make a box of Kraft Dinner. When I put the pasta in the water a bunch of maggots floated to the surface. I'm kind of put off anything I get out of that cupboard now and I won't like Kraft products until I forget that, which shouldn't be a problem because I already hated Cheese Whiz and Kraft Cheese Slices.

[lamebabe]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[lamebabe]

That's sooo grossssssssssss. I'm not eating Kraft either, as long as I remember this post.

[Keyspirits]

Ohhhh ma gat! Dats disgust as fawk! D=

[bunnahies]

because theyre creepy. but the thought of killing them terrifies me even more. no one kills them where i can see it.
a live roach is better than a squished gutty one.

[lexithegreat]

Outer appreances are creepy and they have more legs than they are supposed to. Four stick legs are cute 8 of them and you are a mutant demon

[Keyspirits]

lelelel a mutant demon! D=

[lanternhill]

Meh they're fine except for roaches.
And dead bugs I can't stand, I don't know why.

[Keyspirits]

Why? what can roaches do to u?

[lanternhill]

Nothing really they just move too fast and are nasty. Other bugs aren't that fast and they don't skitter - I don't know, bugs look really different, the way some move kind of freaks me out. Roaches specifically though.

[lanternhill]

Was typing that comment and talking to someone so the logic might sound kind of funny haha

[Keyspirits]

Yeah i agree, some of the appearance and the way they move are juz freaky! Like centipede and caterpillars or worms when they get stabbed, they be wiggling like a mudda effort. That shiat looks gross!

[menina]

I'm not afraid of insects or bugs, I just don't like them. They're annoying.

[menina]

And disgusting.

[Keyspirits]

haha how are they annoying u while they're juz there minding their own little bizziness =P

[menina]

They can be very annoying when they're flying.

[Keyspirits]

Thats true! Fawken flies be flying around meh while im trying to sleep >.>

[menina]

Exactly. That's what I meant.

[Anonymous]

I'm only afraid of the ones who can cause real damage (ie poisonous spiders).
Otherwise, I'm not afraid of them, I just don't like them.

[Keyspirits]

if u not afraid of them, would u dare to touch them?

[Opinion Owner]

I don't make efforts to touch them, but they touch me sometimes and I get itchy, haha!

[Keyspirits]

lol ofcourse they would make effort juz to touch and feel that skin of yours =P

[Opinion Owner]

Riiiiiiiiight, haha

[jokersgirl]

I LOOVVEE insects :D and spiders! I find them fascinating and I always go out of my way to make sure they aren't harmed lol

[Keyspirits]

Haha even black widows and tarantula?

[jokersgirl]

yes! I would love to own a tarantula, they're so awesome

[Keyspirits]

U outta yo mind! D=

[Anonymous]

All women are afraid of bugs and insects? Think about your question...

[Keyspirits]

[Opinion Owner]

[Anonymous]

Because they look so scary and they crawl on you and its gross. And some have no legs and some have lots of legs which is both discussing.

[Keyspirits]

Lol the number of legs matter as well? xD

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah! haha Thats one of the things that make them so creepy!

[Anonymous]

[Keyspirits]
