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?

    I don’t know anyone who behaves this way. How would you know if someone is really incapable of understanding things or if they are pretending?

    I have heard of women who exhibit ‘neediness’ as a way of attracting the attention of those they want to date, but I think that is a temporary behaviour and not related to what you describe.

    Perhaps bad experiences or laziness makes people unwilling to try new things 

    I think that humans can be manipulative and can exhibit a range of good and bad behaviours, many of to whom I would give a wide berth.
