Ladies how would you define a man child and would you date one?

[ManHater]

From my understanding girls have different definitions of a "MAN CHILD". Some girls think that it's their mother taking care of their adult son even at 25 years old. There are many definitions and I just would like to know what you think of them? Do you see them in a favourable light maybe you would like to date one?

It's hard to put briefly for me, since it's not something immediately obvious in some cases.

The key points for me are:
- they can't manage their own self-care or physical/mental health without external guidance
- they wait for others/circumstance to decide their course of action
- indecision, insecurity, inability to take initiative
- unable to make or manage their own finances

Basically, I want a grown ass man who can keep pace with my grown ass life. I don't plan to have children - I certainly don't want to date one.

Sounds like you know what you are looking for and want. Well done. I just ask this because I see some questionable men around but never understood the term.

Thanks. It's taken work and time to refine what I want, and build myself into the kind of person to attract the kind of partner I want. Fortunately, I think I've found him.

It definitely can be a cop out term, but for some of us it's painful previous experiences we do our best to avoid in the future.

We'll put.

Man-child can be a real thing but it is also used by man hating feminists just to insult men

So? A 40 year old man staying at home having mommy taking care of them is nothing to hate about? I'm sorry man if you still live in your parents basement then I suppose that you are a man child.
