Other Answers:
Go to a doctor, that's not healthy.

there is nothing you can do

stay in the house never leave just crawl under the bed

If it's interfering with your everyday life, you're going to have to see a doctor about it. Half the world is male. You're going to have to do something about your fear.

Good luck!

see a counselor or go to emotions anonymous they are free and so is the county mental health board it by the income so you can see the reason for the phobia maybe youve supressed a bad occurance

I don't blame you. They smell bad, they're untrustworthy and they have weird habits. Some, though, are very very nice. You have to put yourself out there and face your fear.

Well there must have been something that has triggered this response.

With everything, you should take baby steps. Try to hang with friends and allow them to help you to get closer to guys.

It will take time, as long as you can discover why this occurred and try to over-come this fear.

Good luck!!1

You need to get over your fear and just talk to them. Not all of us bite.

just get a guy u trust like ur dad or bro or ur bros best friend and just talk to him and then slowly move on to other guys who u dont kno as much if u need ne more help heres my email qtstegman@sbcglobal.net

Take a course in Self Defense!
Maybe that will allay your fears!
YOu might feel stronger about yourself and discover in class that many, many men are helpful and kind and caring.

you should have your Dr. refer you to a therapist.

Your best bet would probably be to seek therepy. that way you can find the root of this feeling and deal with it from it's core. Otherwise, you may feel like this forever, and that would be really sad. Good luck, Hun.

consider therapy..if that doesn't work.consider women

go see a doctor. and don't worry some men are afraid of women

I think the first thing you have to do is define the fear you have. Are you afraid of physical harm? Are you shy around men and just get nervous caus you don't know what to say or how to act? Was your father verbally, physically or mentally abusive? Your fear could be cause by anything, unil you can define the type of fear you have you won't be able to find the root cause and overcome it

wow im sorry to hear that. i would try to see a professional. they help!! i know its going to be scary at first but be brave!!

good luck! i hope you get over your fear. and believe me you arnt the only one with this fear, my best friend is exactly the same and she went to a pro. and she helped a ton.

It sounds like you suffer from androphobia. Go to see a female doctor and tell her about this problem - if you do nothing things could get worse and you could ruin your life.
I wish I could give you more advice but you really need to see a competant medical professional.
This is not a healthy way to live - men and women are 99% the same and by avoiding men you will have to avoid 50% of all humans just because of their gender, and actually you will have to stop seeing female friends who get boyfriends or husbands. Please get some medical help!

You should seek help in getting over it, of course! You suffer from 'androphobia', or fear of men. It can cause panic attacks and keep people apart from loved ones and business associates. Symptoms typically include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and overall feelings of dread.

If you're in the United States, you can call 1-800-828-7484 to discuss treatment options, or go to the first link below. They have a program for vanquishing fear and anxiety in 24 hours. It's about $147 for the program, but if you consider how much even one session with a therapist costs, or the cost of prescription drugs, it is worth it.

That's quite a unique fear. I say get a son

You fear men.I hate men.its better off that way.MEN ARE PIGS! Don't consider your fear a problem, consider it a blessing!

you really shouldn't fear men to that extent. i can understand if your nervous about asking a guy you have been crushing on for a date. but when it's constant that's really not good. you should see someone. sometimes this occurs when you have had a bad experience with a close male relative or guy friend it doesn't have to be sexual encounter either.
