I had a fear of talking to beautiful women but got over it enough to meet my wife. I still can't talk to her now though; I try but I just can't get a word in edgeways. ha ha.

If the people with this phobia would just move to West Virginia, they'll never have to be afraid again. 😅

It was certainly a lack of confidence for me that caused it when I was younger. I couldn't bring myself to speak to a beautiful woman. After many years, I got the inner strength to speak to them by telling myself that it would be their loss if they rebuked me. It worked.

I heard a old school song that says if you want to be happy for the rest of your life get an ugly girl to marry you. It worked for my dad. They stayed married for sixty six years until my mom passed away. My dad never remarried and died five years later calling out her name.

Romeo, since beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, then it stands to reason that the "beholder" defines "beauty."

Stephanie.S. I concur. If the Fear of Beautiful Handwriting were one of the choices, I probably would have selected it.

flowercat0523, as a guess the fear of handsome men would be a similar word but replacing the "gyn" with "andr", so maybe "caliandrephobia" or something like that. My guess is based on the hatred of women being "miso-gyn-y" and the hatred of men being "mis-andr-y"

I have this problem really bad. I'm hoping to face my irrational fear soon though... Any beautiful women ready to volunteer? 😁 It's an elaborate chat up line, but I'll give it a go!
