Do you know how cute that is๐?
My girlfriend panicked because there was a spider in the room that was as big as my little ce๐ why do women get so worked up about spiders? I don't think it's bad, on the contrary, I think it's really cute๐ but why?
I’m a woman.
And I love spiders.
I think people have a reason why they are afraid of spiders.
They find them creepy or disgusting. Especially in films, spiders are presented as evil, just like the wolf.
Because spiders are disgusting. So I don’t want to see a spider crawling over me ๐ so I think many are afraid of such spiders, bugs and stuff. But is also understandable
I wish a nice Christmas time ๐โ๏ธ๐ช

The whole is still based on a genetic “software” from the early days of human history, when people lived exclusively in free nature and had to protect themselves and their children from poisonous and dangerous animals. The same applies comparatively also to snakes: Here, too, an instinctive and genetically fixed “anxiety software” intervenes, even though most snakes are harmless in this country.
Women are more statistically affected, because in earlier times they were directly concerned about young people, as is still the case with some natural peoples. So they were responsible for protecting their children from dangerous animals in housekeeping and playing while the men were hunting.
In many respects, therefore, we are still “humans” today.
This is just the individual perception ๐.
Real
That’s really what…
Don’t be afraid of spiders, there are also guys who panic.
Small spiders are the most poisonous. It seems to me that you have no idea and that you had been selected 1000 years ago. A spider phobia is present in many people because spiders are uncontrollable and were often poisonous earlier.
Here in Germany there are no poisonous spiders ๐ at least none that can become dangerous to humans. So there’s no reason to panic out of the room or something.
If you live in the USA or Australia, I’d understand.
It is strange that in areas where there are really dangerous spiders, people are less afraid of it, a spider phobia is much more common in our western well-pamped areas where there are as good as no dangerous spiders.
What completely disproves your theory of natural selection.
Fear of spiders is therefore not directly associated with the actual danger, but is caused by cultural factors, which one gets pre-lived by parents, how is the subject treated in public / medial etc.
So it is completely wrong that a spider phobia has any protective function and would have led to a natural selection, according to the motto โwho has more fear of spiding lives longerโ. In a spider phobia it is an irrational anxiety disorder.
