Hey lovelies!

A childish man.

Manchild, will you ever win
Manchild, look at the state you're in

Don't call me 'lovelies', that makes you sound like you have marshmallow for a brain.

A man child would be someone who for example is incapable of picking up his socks and pants off of the bathroom floor and thinks a fairy whisks them away as the next time he sees them they are washed, pressed and folded in his drawer.

He then sulks because you are too tired to go out because you do all the housework including picking up after him and doing all his laundry.

Immature and childish actions.

I'm not really sure what you want us to say?

Any kind of actions that you wouldn't expect from a grown adult.

A man who doesn't behave like an adult.

Why do you ask?

jennboo1 · 03/10/2023 17:31

Just any experiences potentially? my own curiosity to be honest.

A manchild is an adult male who behaves like a child. It's very easy to work out.

Crushed23 · 03/10/2023 17:34

Really stroppy and sulky when he doesn’t get what he wants, but incapable of communicating what he wants from the relationship in the first place.

CurlewKate · 03/10/2023 17:34

A man who does not behave like a functioning adult and expects a woman to fill in the gaps.

Bananalanacake · 03/10/2023 18:31

The way to weed them out is not let a boyfriend move in with you, if he likes you he'll wait for as long as it takes, if he's looking for a replacement mummy to do his washing and cooking he'll be off looking for the next candidate.
