Men experience a unique form of fear in relationships with women, primarily stemming from paternity uncertainty. Unlike women, who are biologically certain of their maternity, men often grapple with doubts about the fidelity of their partners and whether a child is truly theirs. This fear can be exacerbated by societal pressures to validate a child’s resemblance to them, creating ongoing stress for men, particularly those who may already struggle with self-worth. The historical evolution of human relationships has sought to address this by fostering monogamous partnerships, but the underlying anxiety about paternity remains a significant psychological factor affecting men's interactions with women.
