Why do men like women who act like little girls?

I've been thinking about this for a while, men often complain that women like "bad guys" and not "nice ones" like them. But there's a rarely acknowleged equivalent, men going for little girly princesses, the child women, who pretend they don't understand things and can't do things and all the men think it's cute and go falling over themselves to help, the rest of us just get told not to be stupid and learn how to fix it ourselves. The child woman, will also be incredibly manipulative and often end up taking the man for a ride, emotionaly and often financially too and they seem to keep getting away with it. Men I know who've come out of a relationship with these sort of women, swear they never want to be in a relationship like that again, but within months or sometimes weeks have found another who treats them just as badly and they seem incapable of learning from their mistakes.

I'm not trying to have a go at anyone here, apart from maybe the child women, I'm just curious to know if others recognise this pattern of behaviour and how they deal with it?

  • Honestly I don't know most people are weird these days. The dating scene in 2025 is terrible haha. In fact a lot of young men and women nowadays are going years without any intimacy with another person. Almost no one is having kids anymore. Most people my age don't even want a relationship because everyone is so toxic. Everyone is on something else has anyone noticed it? Since the last 5 years everything feels like it's collapsing societally. Pubs and nightclubs are closing. Drug and alcohol use increasing. Loneliness and isolation increasing. I kinda scares me some times and makes me worry. I just hope we humans can come to some sort of resolution and make the world better hopefully.
