Why do women contort thier voices to sound like babies when they're interested in a guy?

I had this woman do this to me today and she deny it. Then she got mad when i asked her if she wanted a pacifier. Do women really think guys find that attractive? Or is it just strictly attempts at manipulation.

The baby voice is a little extreme but of course women change their voice. We do too. If you're not aware the most obvious example is your talking to your parents voice. Pretty much everyone has one and it is very noticable.

Another obvious one is your professional tone. It is also a dramatically different one. Whether a sweatshop, customer service, management, enforcement or anything else (special tip: Listen to your partners professional voice sometime - it can be very attractive!).

And whether obvious or not, we also reserve special voices for the people we like. Although baby voices is a more recent internet phenomena that can stay there. Blame anime? Maybe.

Yeah when I say baby I'm talking about like something you'd hear off like a porno. It's just funny to me because I've heard her normal voice. I wasn't even really trying to make fun of her at first it was just so over the top. I wanted to say "the hell's wrong with you".😆😆😆
But now you got me wanting to record my voice to see if I do that talking to different people like you say.

Try it. Should be fun if nothing else! Plus learning voice control is a seriously powerful tool for everything from parenting, work or the bedroom.

And yeah, I mean hey, she is trying to flirt at least. And its not like embarrassing her is the worst you could do. As long as you just ask for her special you voice sometime that'll probably save things if you want to.

The girls are trying to get your attention and tone and pitch are the best way to do this. The short version is that they know how to manage in both speech and behavior "puppy dogs". You're so cute with your tongue hanging out when you look at me with your happy eyes.

It could be that they are nervous or insecure about it so they try to pretend it’s not there. To simple it down it’s like when you go to school you talk to your teachers a different way than friends. It’s more of when people feel more comfortable around you they can speak to you in a certain way. For me I’ve sometimes done this only because I usually am nervous to talk to new people which sometimes messes up my voice. It’s embarrassing when it happens a lot and you try to stop it but can’t.

It's a little distracting when women do that. Before a girl started talking to me like I was a baby, with a falsetto high pitched voice, and by the time I realized she was flirting, the moment was passed.
