a man child is a fully-grown male that acts like a baby. a man child usually whines, complains, and thinks everything is unfair. man children in the workplace can be recognized as one who is always complaining about the rules and/or shows too much emotion ex. crying.
“he was just crying at his desk, what a man child!”

completely incapable of making decisions regarding women, “manning up” when appropriate or discussing anything maturely, manchildren are becoming increasingly more frequent.

manchildren will have notable traits such as thinking that they are somewhat different to other men because they have no emotional baggage, will find most immature humour widely entertaining and will have not been in a serious relationship, ever. longest relationship will be between 1-3 months.

when discussing important things, a man child will look at the floor and remain silent, pretend nothing is wrong at the time and then once out of sight drop into radio silence or will give you the “rabbit caught in the headlights” look.

however, man children are tempting challenge for women and more often than not an older women will take a man child under her wing as he will be impressed with her “at ease and coolness” and she will be taken back at his emotional naivety.

a man child is very easy to train in the ways of the bedroom.

manchildren, of course, are not limited to gamers. there are many types and variants of ‘not-quite-men, but look-like-men.’
