WYD A Child At Heart?
I always find it a little interesting when some women say they want a man, but I wonder how many of them would like a man who is a manchild. By that I don't just mean those who like to play with video games and all. I mean those who admits to having the soul and the emotions of a young boy. All the same, women who have the soul of a little girl.
From my understanding, some women like men who are sensitive, playful and sweet. If so, then manchildren can often be the places to start. They are not only emotional and sensitive to your needs, but themselves, too. Just imagine how they will be with kids. There's belief that he would be good with kids, simply by the idea of relating himself to a child, as a way of understanding them. The downside being his ability to grow to a full man.
All the same rules can apply for the woman who is a little girl inside. Now, that we all know some pieces of those dates (me being one from time to time. I'm probably the one dude who enjoys playing on the swings at a local playground), I'm wondering...
For all the full grown people out there: what is your opinion on dating a child-at-heart?

It'd make me feel like a pedo.
If by some chance it didn't, the feeling of being with someone who seemed immature would drive me crazy.
I could date one. I probably still am one, a little.
I would, I would go weak on knees when I see guys with kids or pets. Theyre just lovely.
:)
It should be noted that there's a fine distinction with someone that's 'immature' and someone that's a "child-at-heart"; a person that's a "child-at-heart" is still supposedly "an adult in adult situations".
i'm dating one now. we're the best. xD all our dates are going to watch children's movies at the theatre. hahaha.
Ha, I am guilty of that. Don't judge me, I wasn't hugged as a child. Tear, tear.
I would. Adult life can be dull and boring. Stress can be relieved by showing a little immaturity now and then. I prefer to call it "playfulness". Plus my kids love that side of me!
I'm confused. I don't see how being a child at heart has anything to do with not being able to develop into a full man. I think it shows a complete lack of character to have a man who can't be a child at times. You know, some so insecure that they have to act mature at all times? That's the epitome of immaturity. When we are young, and immature, we spend our time worrying about growing up and trying to seem mature. When we are older and wiser we realize how wonderful youth is and try to be more youthful. I don't understand why you make being a child-at-heart seem like a bad, unmanly thing.
I'm dating one right now. It's good when it's fun, but when you need things done, you can't rely on them.
lol. i wouldn't mind !
He can be a child at heart but when I need a man, I hope he can step up to the plate as well.
I don't think anyone would, which is why I've never had anyone ask me out. LOL
If they don't wanna play Mario Party with me, their problem..

Your wording is awkward.
Saying "the emotions of a young boy" sounds... disgusting, really.
Falling in love with someone who still likes to go to the park and rake leaves just to make you play in them, too, or someone who likes scary movies and video games and board games sounds much different than having the emotions of a young boy.
It's two different things really. If someone has the emotions of a child, it's because they're somehow stunted, or disabled. If they are a grown up who can still have fun doing child like things... well, sign me up. My boyfriend is much that way. We have fun doing our homework, talking about work, talking about what we want to do after we graduate (college), talking about marriage and still having fun playing Fable II together and having food fights when we cook or running through the park....
I think you've delved into a topic much larger than your post.
Hmm I think child at heart could refer more to the ability to still be playful, humourous, and funny. A lot of adults don't find laughter in their lives because they're jaded (J-J-JADED!). I think humour definitely is needed and someone who can have that even when they're old is awesome.
dating one right now. it CAN get pretty frustrating sometimes, because you just feel like a bitch if you bitch about something, and they're always just happy-go-lucky.
@candyhearts13@xanga - Yeah. I hate it when that happens.
@Delmege@xanga - When I was writing this, I was wondering exactly is people like the man child as opposed to the independent guy who has it all together. That is why I left it unmanly, because I always have this worry of whether YOU see it as manly enough for romance. Some women would feel a little awkward dating that kind of man, but some also find it borderline sweet. So, I don't know. That's why I asked the question.
Depends. Having fun and such, kid at heart kind of thing, totally awesome!
But literally, having the emotions, sensitivity, and maturity of a child - not cool.
I'm a little kid at heart, but I know to be mature when it's necessary. My boyfriend is 23, and I'm 18. Now that I think about it, this just about explains every problem we have.
Dating one. But everything about him that is child-like is endearing and wonderful. His eyes glow with a youthful innocence. :)
But he's still mature about those things that call for it, so it's all good.
I don't know either. I think not. I'm not one who would rake up leaves and throw myself into it. I might swing on the swing. I like adult fun. Maybe a "guy at heart," but a loyal, respectful guy. Not a guy who gives guys a bad name! A guy at heart would still do a lot of the things a child at heart would do, but with a different attitude. I've never found innocence attractive in a man. I figure if a man looks innocent, he isn't. If a man looks guilty, he thinks he did something wrong, and it probably amounts to nothing. I do get jealous of all the moments in my love's past, but I don't like "boyishly" handsome or "boyishly" charming so I'd rather have him the way he is. I have an Aunt who loves that look and act. But I'd rather not deal with some innocent young pup constantly telling me "life is beautiful." When it's real and deep, the man turns into a Guy saying those things, not a boy speaking of those things in ignorant bliss of what he is spouting. Classic example of a man who remained a boy and had to learn how to be a guy: Brendon Frasiar in Bedazzled. Unfortunately, men don't have the luxury of remaining children at heart and safeguarding their families. Having children and or a playful wife is, however, a responsible way to manfully express or reclaim boyhood innocence. In relationships men often get women who do not understand a man's need to remain a Guy. So like Brendon in Bedazzled, some men become stumped in an inability to express healthy aggression. It makes a man impotent in standing up for his rights and for pursuing his desires, which are, at least in this movie, quite wholesome. It's funny how he is led around by the devil herself. So I have a problem with the pressure on men to be "sensitive" in this manner. Rather, the pressure should be on women, who now having been put in the place of Provider/Protector/Navigator, know that in that position, male or female, sensitivity in the traditionally "feminine" sense is a liability. And women should note that boys oftentimes prefer to be treated as "little men" with responsibilities rather than little boys no one wants to listen to or count on.
Ill always act like im 13 unless the situation warrants me to be fake and "act my age". Any time ive EVER been mature it was to win an argument or get a job. Ahahaha. :(
Bahaha my boyfriend and I are total children together. It's kinda ridiculous...XP
