Who Has More Phobias? Men or Women?

Snakes...definitely snakes. I used to be afraid of dogs, after this neighbor's big dog decided once to protect me during a visit and not let my Mom get to me - he kept inserting himself between me and her, and it freaked me out (I was 4 at the time). All better now though!

Do you have any usual or unusual phobias?

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

I am afraid of the dark.

Snakes don't bother me unless I see them outside somewhere slithering around. I had them in my garden in Berthoud all the time, so I learned to send the dog in first.

Heights, although if I am in a plane or building, the height does not bother me.

And last, elevators. I hate elevators.

Don't know if fobias have a sexual preference, but I'm with you on the snakes SC. Simply don't like them though I have forced myself to handle garter snakes. Ever step on one barefoot? I've a story about that.
