Oh my God people! Stop asking what I mean by "childish"

[alice55]

I would not date a childish person I need someone able to emotionally support me throng hard time so he need to be mature and make me feels secure.
I can be a little bit childish personally though (in the sense I need someone to reassure me and "lead" me, I'm quite dependent on people). This is surely why I fit more with older guys than those my age. Older guys have more knowledge about life so they can lead me more easily than guys my age.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Fair enough :)

[alice55]

Thanks :)

[alice55]

Are you a childish person?

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Oh God! I would say, YES. In some aspects lol

[alice55]

Which aspect?

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Behavior and some of the stuff you mentioned yourself.
Though to be honest, when my mom isn't around, I'm completely capable of being independent.
I just dont know how to drive, cook or use the washing machine :p

[alice55]

I know how to drive even if I'm afraid to do so and I know how to cook *-*

[ZeussLightningBolt]

I know. :p

[ZeussLightningBolt]

I guess we'd be eating out a lot :p

[alice55]

So long as we can eat good home cooked French food XD

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Sounds good :D

[Screenwriter]

Driving and cooking are simply skills you have to practice, so they're easily resolved. Same with washing clothes in a washing machine. A skill. Open a cookbook and start doing. Look on youtube and learn basics of your model of washing machine and basics of clothes washing in general. Worst case sceanrio with clothes is you put something in the wash that isn't colorfast and it bleeds all over other light colored clothing in wash with it. Driving, you can take a course with duel control over weeks to learn how to deal with traffic.

[alice55]

@Screenwriter All those things will end up with accident (and can be big one), cooking you can burn your food and your stove and it's very expensive to change (the last time I tried I burned everything and it smelled bad in the house for hours, I couldn't open the windows cause we were in winter and it was freezing outside so it was extremely hard to breath).
And for driving every time I drive I end up in an accident.
Washing clothes I love my cloths too much try to wash it with a washing machine so if I need to wash it by myself I wash it by hand one by one.

Any of those stuff can cause big accident that end up being expensive and if like me you're poor you simply cannot take the risk to try to do those things.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Same
The one time i tried to cook something in the oven I ended up burning it and the smoke detector started going off
The one time I tried driving, i crashed into a pile of rocks
And I'm scared to use the washing machine, because I've had a few of my clothes get stained and have had designs come off my t shirts. And I have too many nice clothes to ruin them

WOW! Thanks for telling me. I'm never getting into a car with you. 😟

[alice55]

I'm lucky not to have any smoke detector in my house then XD
because it definitely would have gone crazy
For I ended up "kicking" a tree and another time fell in a trench and I had my driving lesson when I had those 2 accident.
I always nearly fall off a cliff when I learned to drive and multiple time nearly speed up in a wall.

Same clothes are expensive that would suck to ruin them ><
I'm a very bad driver and only got it because the woman was sexist and preferred to it to me rather than to the guys (I still feel bad for him). In France they have a quotas and they have to give to 50% of people their driving lesson when they take the test by days we're 4 to take the test and they were 2 girls and 2 guys (she only gave it to the girls).

[ZeussLightningBolt]

HOLY SHIT!
The problems for me come when I was going backwards.
I hit the rocks going backwards, and in college i drove a tractor into a ditch, also going backwards.
My cousin also couldn't pass her driver's test, because she could do everything except drive backwards.

Yeah, I barely touched the gas pedal on my cousin's car and it went 100 kph. WTF?

She WAS? OH MAN!
There was one instructor in my town, who would deliberately flunk teenagers.
You don't need a driver's license in Venezuela. Lol I need to move there. :p

LOL. Oh man! And studies have shown that girls actually drive worse

[alice55]

I'm the worst driver I know XD
And for me both ways are bad for me, all of my accident where caused when I was driving in the "normal" ways (don't know how to say it ><).

I only did shit during my driving lesson and she still give me it. Every time she asked me to do something I did the reverse without realizing it XD
And I didn't drive backward one time either but still got it *-*

Yeah, I barely touched the gas pedal on my cousin's car and it went 100 kph. WTF?

Yes, that was quite practicable to me considering that the first time I passed it was with an Italian and he was know to be sexist against women (especially young one, I just turned 18).

There was one instructor in my town, who would deliberately flunk teenagers.
You don't need a driver's license in Venezuela. Lol I need to move there.

And that's true XD
Girls don't like to drive in general they just drive cause they need to so they drive most badly than men and get into more accident (though men get into much bigger accident cause they're more reckless).

[ZeussLightningBolt]

LOL. And Italians are considered the worst drivers on earth. Not a good combo at all. :p
Your last paragraph is true

[alice55]

Yes XD

[SydneySentinel]

I don't think so. But a lot of women say that having a husband is like raising a child. I certainly hope that not the case.
If he's just a goofy guy, that's definitely not a bad thing! I'm going to assume he has a mature side.

[ChiTown33]

Most those women are either with the wrong guy for them or poor communicators. Let's gopw most of them are saying it tongue in cheek

[SydneySentinel]

I think it's tongue in cheek... but at least a few of them, I don't think they know how to function without their wives. I think one of the husbands doesn't know how to function without his wife. I also only know one side of the story.

Anyway, that's only a fraction of people anyway.

[Apple1996]

Yes having a husband is exactly like having another child

[ZeussLightningBolt]

@Apple1996 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[alice55]

It's that or either it's the woman who's childish and can't do anything without her husband (which is the case of my mom and many other others women but those tend to be older women in general).

[ZeussLightningBolt]

@alice55 That's a good way of looking at it as well

[alice55]

I'm also quite similar to my mom in this aspect. Which is not very practicable in nowadays life, I would have been fine in the 60s but nowadays is pretty harsh for people like me ><

[ZeussLightningBolt]

@alice55 I see. Here it's pretty normal I guess. But here it seems young guys are usually the ones who don't know how to do anything and need a woman to guide them

[alice55]

Same in France, nowadays many men are like baby and need women to guide them which suck since I'm the one who need to be guided XD
That why i said I would have been better in the 60s since there men were used to guide women (that was the natural way things went).
Nowadays it's the reverse.

[ChiTown33]

@alice55 lol @ needs to be guided. Be guided to what Praytell?

[alice55]

@ChiTown33 Administrative paper, I have no idea which one I should do or how I should do them. I also have no common sense (or the one I have is different that those of other people so it get me in trouble) so it help when I have someone who have common sense and can tell me what is ok and what is not ok.
And I'm clueless and naive, I never had many friends and spend all my free time at home so I'm basically full clueless about the world in general.
I'm bad at managing money too (especially when buying food) I buy too much and buy everything I like or want to taste; etc...

[ZeussLightningBolt]

@alice55 I pretty much have the same issue. I feel like I need to ask advice for EVERYTHING

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Because when I make a decision myself, my mom always says I made a bad one

[Screenwriter]

You might want to tell her that isn't helpful. You might hash out what could be improved about the outcome of a decision. That would be helpful.

[Aethereal]

It depends on what we defining as childish. When I googled it, I picked an article that listed some immature traits in a partner:
- Demands attention
- Badmouth their exes
- Blaming
- Doesn't listen
- Overanalyzes
- Play (mind) games
- self-centred

I would date someone who had some of these traits e. g. demands attention, is over-analytical. But most of the others are deal breakers for me.

[OlderAndWiser]

No, never!!! But it turns out that I have done that a number of times!

[AlienParasite]

Depends. If they are always immature, under all circumstances, hell no. If they are mature in most situations I need them to be and he's only immature for things I don't give a shit, sure.

I do believe almost everybody has an inmature part to some extent, as we can't grow equally in all our aspects, and some are always going to be not as developed. It's about to see if you can deal with someone's immature part, and if that person can take well your immature part.

[MindYourEyes]

I like someone to let loose and have fun. Roll with it. But at some extent. And not super childish 24/7. Or someone who likes to talk like a baby. XD that’s an instant turn off

[ZeussLightningBolt]

LOL
As the contestants on "Family Feud" would say, "Good answer"

[On_cloud_wine]

I’m usually attracted to reserved and responsible... the ones that reveal their true, playful, childish nature once they start to open up and feel more comfortable around me. 🙃

[ZeussLightningBolt]

That's good :)

[OrionTheCat]

Depends on what kind of childish we're talking about. It's totally fine if he likes action figures, anime, Disney, whatever, as long as I know that he'll be there for me when I need him and that he won't chicken out at first sight of problems and life. There are times when you just have to man (or women) up and be reasonable adult.

[Apple1996]

Yess I love those immature men! They know how to have fun. I'm kind of uptight so I need someone like that to loosen me up

[ZeussLightningBolt]

LOL.
In more ways than one ;)

[aicarg]

What do you define as "childish"? A degree of immature behavior can be tolerated, like if the guy is a joker at heart, if he enjoys nerdy things like Harry Potter, Star Wars, board games... cool. But if your definition of "childish" is a guy that is constantly needy, a screen addict, dosen't eat and care for himself well, dresses like a punk/skater/wannabe gangster, has no desire on working towards his career goals, is living off of his parents... massive turn off and thank you, next.

[CubsterShura]

I am fine with CHILDLIKE guys, but not CHILDISH guys. There's a difference. I actually once asked out a guy who not only has a bit of childlike attitude in him but he himself admits it and embraces it like 'part of me is and will always be a 10 year old' and it literally just means that he likes to have fun, he's curious, doesn't complicate stuff he's quite simple. He's far more mature than most of his peers. Childlike does NOT mean childish and it certainly does not mean immature.

[worldscolide]

Why does q have to suffer the hate leave the impractical joker alone!!! In all seriousness I couldn't date someone who wasn't at least a little childish.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

I liked his facial expression
Should I have put Murray instead?

[worldscolide]

Lol that might have been more funny though Sal is the coward of the bunch.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

I know
He's my least favorite

Have they made any new episodes?
And did their movie ever come out.

[worldscolide]

No movie yet, and new episodes might be out after the holidays

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Finally! GOD DAMN!
The hell?
The movie was supposed to be out in September

[R_Cakes91]

There is a huge difference between being a kid at heart and actually acting like a child. I would marry a goofy guy but not an immature one.

[GhostMochi]

I like a balance. I like a guy who can be childish and silly with me, but I also want him to be serious and stern with me when it is appropriate to be.

[Hurlyburly]

What way of childish? Someone's who's embracing their inner child but can act mature when needed? Sure.
Someone who's still not able to care for himself and isn't reliable in the slightest? That's a nope.

[midnightmoon05]

I have. we were both childish and immature in many ways. Mature and responsible in other ways.

[nerms123]

I can be childlike and boyfs usually like it. It’s fine with me if he occasionally wants to be childlike but not all the time. However being childish as in petty or mean isn’t good.

[joethemoe912]

there's a differwnt between being childish and just being goofy. If you can be silly, fun and responsible there's not a problem

[yeolsb]

If he’s like a child with me than yes. I find it cute 😆😆

[hsshannah96]

So I do sleep with a baby blanket and if I’m anxious I need the blanket or a fidget because I have panic disorder and I’m really worried now :(

[Bananaman177]

Straight men have no choice in the matter. They have to settle for someone childish and entitled or else they have to stay single forever.

[Kindofweird]

I am little bit childish and if anybody don't wanna date date me... then fuck them.

[Kindofweird]

I think a little bit of childness is not harmful. isn't it?

[ChiTown33]

Childish, you mean like feeling they need to constantly compete with other women? Because i think all women have a bit of that in them.

[Oram52]

Its never going to happen. I want to date adults not female equivalent of man child.
