Why do men try and treat you like a little girl?

[Anonymous]

What’s the purpose of doing that

[meepmeeperton]

Sometimes women can be childish and easier to just treat them accordingly than to pretend they are a serious person.

If you're posting "sexy pics" he most likely saw that as desperate and attention seeking behavior. He asked if your dad knows to make you feel immature instead of cool and sexy about it. And realistically most dad's don't want their daughters presenting themselves that way.

[Asker]

But he knew about my pics before we even talked… he’s acting like he doesn’t like what he sees

[meepmeeperton]

I would guess he likes what he sees but at the same time doesn't like the idea of a girl he's involved with posting that for everyone.

[Asker]

But if he doesn’t want a relationship then why is he saying that?

[meepmeeperton]

Maybe he secretly does or maybe he's just kind of teasing for his own amusement/ to keep you interested or thinking about him.

[Asker]

He said it a bit judgmental…

I've never done that. I don't even think I treat little girls like little girls. I tend to treat them a bit more like adults, give them the benefit of the doubt, give them more respect.

I guess it could be said for the very same reason that some women encounter so - called grown men who act so childish and simply remain "little boys".

Thank you for the MHO.

Cuz we love mansplaining, control, ego and our growing insecurities make it All the more prevalent

[handsomelad70]

RIGHT ON, DrPepper12 !!!

[BarryLiverstone]

If you are an adult they should treat you as such. Unless you act like a little girl

[noohair]

They might see them that way. Are we talking about you?

[Anonymous]

Treat you like a little girl how?

[Asker]

Just how he shames me

[Opinion Owner]

Ok that still doesn’t explain how he’s treating you like a little girl. Shaming you by doing what exactly?

[Asker]

I post suggestive pics and he asked me if my dad knows about the pics I post

Just his tone and demeanor with me

[Opinion Owner]

Ok exactly who is “he?” Boyfriend or something?

[Asker]

Something but not a boyfriend

[Opinion Owner]

Ok you’re being very vague about all of this. Kind of makes me understand w out understanding why he treats you this way. You still seem like a little girl mentally.

[Asker]

Because we talked briefly (about 3 weeks) so it wasn’t anything … that’s why I’m asking why he made that comment.

[Opinion Owner]

Probably because the pics you posted were a little too much. A lot of women these days pose basically w nothing on, a piece of string but they feel it’s ok. I would probably think the same too, it’s like a lot of women don’t have decency these days. But as a man you can’t say nothing because now you’re misogynist as well as a lot of other young’s

[Asker]

But he knew that I post those pictures before we started talking… he also said that he wasn't ready for a relationship and seemed to want sex but I told him that I was waiting until marriage.

I was just left confused.. in the same breath he said he was scared to have sex with me bc I’d be emotional

[Opinion Owner]

So this is about one man, not multiple men the way you made it sound?

[Asker]

No, it’s a general question but I used him as an example

[Opinion Owner]

I think a lot of men treat women like that because honestly I think a lot of women aren’t told the truth about things. Men tend to treat women w kiddy gloves.

[Sasquach]

Maybe he thinks you got daddy issues

[Asker]

Yes

For example.. I like dressing and posting sexy pics and he asks me if my dad knows about the pics I post.

[Sasquach]

Does that get you hot or naw?

[Asker]

What do you mean? I don’t know why he would say that

[Sasquach]

Do you have a DDLG kink?

[Asker]

No I don’t

[Sasquach]

Then, tell the guy to back off
