What can a guy do that sets off your manschild alert?

They will always find some way to push the blame onto others. It's never their fault.

And yes, I have to agree that in general this applies to both men and women, and maybe my cat.

Incredibly irresponsible, puts off things indefinitely until someone else does it for them.

Probably the kind to complain that their

mother or girlfriend or wife is a nag, because they have to resort to that to get them to do crap.

This comment was a huge realization for me. No wonder I haven't found an acceptable way to ask him to do

anything. There is no acceptable way. There really isn't. You can't force someone to be responsible.

I really wish I hadn't wasted over a

decade of my life with that guy. People aren't going to change if they don't want to, and he was

happy being a man-child. Monster Energy Logos on his back window. I've seen a couple of people

recently, usually at festivals with monster tattoos. I'm unsure if Monster are actually paying them to tattoo

their logo on their arms or if they're just really that obsessed with the energy drink.

When he doesn't know how to do a load of washing and refuses to try and learn. This in general,

if someone refuses to try and learn a common task because they don't want to, that person has

some latent narcissism that

you're going to run into down the line. When they're all over a girl, and then she rejects them,

and suddenly she's a grotesque demon, apparently. Throws a tantrum when they don't get their way,

like a child screaming in a store because their mum wouldn't buy them a toy. So they never grew out of that.

They only act nice because they want something a return. Everything has strings and an underwritten

contracts. I've known and read of a few breakups that happened because it turns out after they

moved out of their parents' place, they treated their partner like they were their new mother or father.
