phobia of commitment is rooted in fear -- fear of lost options or concern with making poor decisions. Most especially, commitment phobia is the fear and avoidance of experiencing to commit to any such thing, but specially relationships. And like the proverb, it's a double edged sword: on the one hand you avoid obligations, ties, and commitments yet at exactly the same time the commitment phobic may possibly secretly crave the lives of the who committed and the growth that those roots produced.

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

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