You can't seriously think this is the reason, can you?
Its just a nonsensical thing to be afraid of. I mean a few thousand years ago, guys were fearlessly chasing down bears and jaguars for food. If your not going to be afraid of something like that, how can they be afraid of initiating an conversation?
Being rejected by girls is at least as evolutionary selected against as being killed by bears (as you may have gotten offspring before they bear kills you), so there is as much at stake.
Why is Americas school to prison pipeline so selective about the ethical minorities it chooses to jail? It collects all the african latino and native americans but completely ignores japanesse armenians eastern indians and jews.

There is a very complex system- involving socioeconomic status, work ethic, ability to network, systemic racism, and other variables- that have happened to work out for certain minority immigrants (especially Asians and Jews) and have unfortunately really made other minorities (like Hispanics and Blacks) historically struggle in the American education system.
Well, i am not a 100% certain. I think a woman stops ovulating during pregnancy. That would means that every egg afterwards is 9 months later than it would otherwise have been (If i am correct all of the eggs are already done after puberty and kind of hang around the womans womb waiting for an ovulation?). Meaning that instead of egg number 89 in the no first child parallel universe, you would get egg number 80 ovulating at the same time. (I am no biologist and this information is thus not certain).
For the man, it is even more uncertain, as there are so many sperm around at all times that even the slightest change in the most miniscule thing effecting might change which one of them manages to impregnate an egg. And since a child does have a rather large effect on most peoples lives, i would be highly surprised if this would not change which sperm impregnates an egg, even if it happens at exactly the same time in exactly the same spot in a parallel universe.
I was trying to find something about hormonal changes after child birth for egg development/riping, but I haven't found anything conclusive. What it boils down to for men: less testosterone, less sperm count (or so it should seem)

Anthony Bogaert's work involving adoptees concludes that the effect is not due to being raised with older brothers, but is hypothesized to have something to do with changes induced in the mother's body when gestating a boy that affects subsequent sons. An in-utero maternal immune response has been hypothesized for this effect. The effect is present regardless of whether or not the older brothers are raised in the same family environment with the boy. There is no effect when the number of older brothers is increased by adopted brothers or stepbrothers.
The fraternal birth order effect appears to interact with handedness, as the incidence of homosexuality correlated with an increase in older brothers is seen only in right-handed males.
Bogaert (2006) replicated the fraternal birth order effect on male sexual orientation, in a sample including both biological siblings and adopted siblings. Only the older biological brothers influenced sexual orientation; there was no effect of adopted siblings. Bogaert concluded that his finding strongly suggest a prenatal origin to the fraternal birth-order effect.
McConaghy (2006) found no relationship between the strength of the effect and degree of homosexual feelings, rather than homosexual identity or homosexual behavior, leading him to conclude that the influence of birth order on degree of homosexual feelings was not due to a biological, but a social process.
