Does love-shyness affect people of all nations, races and creeds?
In short, yes. While Gilmartin performed his study in the United States, love-shys exist worldwide, as evidenced by the membership of the Love-shy.com forums and readership of the site. As love-shy.com is an English language site, most of its forum members are from the US (where the site is based), Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Members exist from all over, though. As far as race is concerned, there are members of all races on the forums. Going by polls, most are areligious, athiest or agnostic, but several members are religious, some quite strongly so. Religious and racial argumentation is generally minimal despite the fact that people can freely talk about it.
