phobia of commitment is rooted in fear -- anxiety about lost options or concern with making poor decisions. Most especially, commitment phobia may be the fear and avoidance of getting to agree to anything, but especially relationships. And just like the proverb, it's a double edged sword: on the one hand you avoid obligations, ties, and commitments yet at the same time the commitment phobic may secretly crave the lives of these who committed and the growth that those roots produced.

phobia of commitment are the women who say, "All men are jerks, " or the men who claim, "Women are only out to have my money" - rationalisations to justify avoiding a committed relationship.

Men are generally considered more commitment-phobic than women, but recent research suggests that this might be a case of stereotyping, and it is certainly not a phobia of commitment.
