Over 60% of women are stuck in a cycle of relationship anxiety. Anxious attachment is crippling. It can impact your ability to find love, to maintain healthy relationships and friendships, to maintain a career and a balanced thriving life.
Wow....that is a bold statement.

Well it's true, isn't it? Don't believe so... about 20% of the total population is estimated to be AP. Even with more woman than men tending to be anxious, and even including anxious-leaning FA in there (all FA is estimated to be only 5%), that's far smaller than over "60% of women". |

Oh ok, I thought the issue was the rest of the statement, not the 60%. |

So true story, I oftentimes overlook numbers and stats for certain things, they just don't always register for me. So I didn't even pick up on that 60%, which is why I thought it was about the rest of what was wrote. |

Interesting...I am the opposite.....numbers and stats are the first thing I see, then the verbiage around it. I am stronger in math then I am at grammar, spelling etc. My mom is the opposite....very strong grammar, spelling skills. Lol. |

And that was to the chagrin of the rest of my math-loving family :-) |

Does anyone have thoughts on why anxious attachment skews female? It can’t be a coincidence I don’t think.

Does anyone have thoughts on why anxious attachment skews female? It can’t be a coincidence I don’t think. I don't know that it actually really does, and if so it's mostly a result of western culture environmental factors. If you start looking up actual data and research papers (you can internet search for sex differences in attachment), it doesn't really appear that it naturally just falls that way, which implies it's not due to biological or hormone differences. Plus it looks like non-western cultures don't even pan out that way. But anecdotally it may seem that way because western culture has historically pushed toxic masculinity and other gender biased behaviors (so little boys get raised differently than girls). AP boy behavior and DA girl behavior is more frowned upon and less socially acceptable in that respect, and people are pressured not to act that way. Also, since it is more acceptable and expected in western society for women to be obsessed with their relationships and doing the emotional labor, you'll probably make more money marketing to that target because men aren't going to be interested in paying to learn how to fix those types of issues. So that will create a confirmation bias that makes it look like more women are AP because you're expecting that to be the case and will notice that there's more marketing towards AP women than AP men. But I know plenty of avoidant women and also some anxious men IRL. |

It's probably cultural more than anything-women are taught they "need" someone else in order to be successful or worthy from an early age-men are taught to rely on their own merits. And men are taught to "avoid" their feelings more as well |
