Did You Know?


Caligynephobia is the fear of beautiful women


Caligynephobia, otherwise known as Venustraphobia or simply Gynephobia, is the abnormal fear of beautiful women. Sure, many men can become intimidated by gorgeous girls, and men are not the only ones who suffer from this phobia, but this condition takes intimidation to the extreme.
Phobias are often described as an extreme and/or irrational fear to any one stimulus. Again, there is a major difference between the intimidation that many people feel around beautiful women and a legitimate phobia. The phobia of beautiful women is extreme, and can often lead to other problems.
Symptoms of Caligynephobia can vary from an individual to the other, depending on the extent of the fear, the individual’s characteristics, and mental status at the time of the stimulus.
However, Caligynephobia, as a whole, does have symptoms to look out for. To begin, individuals may suffer social problems in relation to Caligynephobia. For instance, people with this phobia may have a tough time being around (i.e. feeling uncomfortable, nervous, etc.) or even speaking to a beautiful woman.
Other symptoms include general anxiety or nervous, or even panic attacks. Panic attacks are a sudden burst of extreme and irrational fear, during which the sufferer can feel greatly overwhelmed and emotionally low. These have both mental and physical symptoms. Mental symptoms of panic attacks, again, include anxiety, nervousness, fear, loss of control, and even a sense of doom or death. On the other hand, physical symptoms include a rapid heart beat, weakness, fainting, dizziness, tingling or numbness in the extremities, excessive sweating, chills, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Some or all of these symptoms may also appear without the onset of a full blown panic attack, just by being in the presence of a beautiful woman.
Dear Guys/Men if you know you have these symptoms kindly visit your Doctor before its too late lolz... have done my part winks...
