Avoidant attachment is primarily observed in men, while anxious attachment is more common in women. Avoidant men are often described as tough and self-focused, while anxious women are labeled as shy and insecure. Anxious men are typically referred to as nice guys, and avoidant women are sometimes called the 'B word', highlighting societal gender norms regarding attachment styles.
