Two I can remember:

 

MANCHILD 1: in his mid forties, body of a god, he would always went out to drink with his friends. No problem with prioritizing your life, but more on that later. He was crazy about me, we connected and I started to feel butterflies. He too- or so he told me (and was the first to bring it up). He claimed he wanted to know everything about me, but conversations quickly circled back to him and his friends. All the time. His feelings for me were all talk because he rarely had time for me; it started to feel like I was begging to see him. He would say how tired he was from the gym and wanted to relax and rest. But minutes later he'd post a story drinking with his friends. Okay, if that's how he unwinds then who am I to judge right?

 

It clicked when he- after a long scheduling effort on his part- took me out to dinner. He said he had a reservation but when I went there he was standing outside- in his gym clothes- and said he forgot to book a table so we spent an hour looking for a decent place to eat. Then, the conversation was just about his friends and his and I quote "golden retriever personality". He sometimes danced to the background music a bit... it kinda looked bizarre and forced. Even though I tried to carry a normal convo and ask things about him he never reciprocated and I frustratingly saw myself trying to shoe-in something, just a crumble about me but he clearly wasn't interested, nor ready to be in a relationship it seems. It felt like I was talking to a teen.

 

Next day we texted but he cut it short, saying he'll answer me back after he's done with- yes, his friends. Eventually he never did, nor did I even care to ask how it went.

 

 

MANCHILD 2: a Swiftie with Main Character Syndrome. All he could talk about was how in sync his life was with each album Taylor put out. After dinner he drove me home but we stayed in the car where we were surprisingly having an emotional and deep conversation about how we came out. It felt like we were connecting, until his hand immediately went looking for a different connection. We awkwardly made out (in the middle of that conversation) and I had a hard on but he was so fast and clumsy with his horny hand that he grabbed my d*ck too hard and actually hurt me. I pulled his hand away and we were done.

 

Next morning he said we had "zero chemistry in bed" but wanted to remain friends. I said okay. Right after that he posted two selfies on his story with petty lyrics of some Taylor songs.

Most men are menchildren really so yeah a lot of them...

Out of the three relationships I was in, two of them were; though, not in the ways listed here. One was just a bum who didn't work, always asking for money and wanting to club all of the time, and the other just seemed clueless at times, like he didn't know anything. Admittedly, I was just desperate then. It's always been difficult finding guys out here worth anything. 

 

Yes many 

Several, unfortunately 

Yes, one that couldn't communicate or express emotions for the life of him. Wasted too much time on that fool

was with one for several years. Always blamed other people for not complying with his needs and thought everyone was an idiot. I had to walk on eggshells around him. If I dared to disagree his ego would be hurt, and he'd immediately switch to insults.

 

I don't think my experience was that unique. beware of those ego centric man children. one could ruin your psych.
