How to avoid falling for a Man Child on the dating scene & the tell-tale sign you're already seeing one without knowing
THE dating world is hard to navigate as it is, with more apps than anyone could know what to do with, ghosting, red flags and more. Now, the term 'Man Child' has been thrown in there too, as Sabrina Carpenter's latest single has singletons calling out their ex flames. 2 2 The term describes a man who acts like a child in a relationship, or just in general. That includes emotionally immature men who can't, or won't, give their partner support. They might be immature, unreliable and irresponsible, leaving you to pick up their slack - the last thing you want in a long term commitment. Luckily, dating app Hily relationship expert Dr. Marisa T. Cohen, PhD, shared with the Daily Mail the tell-tale signs to be on the lookout for if you're either trying to avoid dating a Man Child, or wondering if you're already seeing one. According to the pro, one easy way to figure out a person's emotional maturity is to pay attention to how they handle conflict in different areas of their life. 'Their answer can tell you a lot — like if they're self-aware, whether they stick it out when things get rough, and how well they keep their cool (or not)," Marisa explained. Another indicator if a potential lover is a Man Child or not is if they did the work on themselves by going to therapy and learning skills to regulate their emotions. 'You'll get a sense of what they need, how they handle things, and maybe even how they deal with stress or think about mental health,' the expert explained. Another good was is to ask your potential suitor what they're most proud of in their life. This way, the pro explained, you can hear about their big wins and how they "handled any curveballs along the way." Love Island fans call Islander a 'red flag' as he makes shock dating admission It's pretty normal to talk about past relationships when getting to know someone you might be romantically interested in, but avoiding basic questions is the key to really getting to know someone. Instead of asking when their last relationship was, for example, the dating pro suggested asking what they learned from it. 'Basically, you're seeing if they've taken time to reflect, process the ups and downs, and figure out how to do better next time,' the expert said. According to VeryWellMind, if your man doesn't help around the house you should be on high alert. "If asked to help with chores, an immature person might respond petulantly. "They might need to be bribed or demand compensation for performing tasks that are simply a routine part of keeping a home and functioning as a responsible adult." Not only that, put their partner might need to remind them to shower, brush their teeth and perform basic hygiene tasks. If a man is acting like Peter Pan, you could easily fall into the trap of being his Wendy, meaning you could end up unconsciously encouraging his behaviour by acting like his mum. You might even enjoy being able to comfort and look after him in the early days of the relationship, the pros noted. "Initially, you might have felt attracted to and enjoyed these aspects of your partner's personality. "As your relationship progressed (perhaps even to marriage), however, you might have become exhausted by, or even resentful of, your partner's immature behaviour." 15 Relationship red flags to look out for Red flags are warning signs that indicate unhealthy or manipulative behaviour. When you encounter relationship red flags, it's a good time to pause and reflect on the dynamic you really share with that person. Overly controlling behaviour Lack of trust Feeling low self-esteem Physical, emotional, or mental abuse Substance abuse Narcissism Anger management issues Codependency Inability to resolve conflict Constant jealousy Gaslighting Lack of emotional intelligence Negatively affecting your relationship with family and friends Inability to communicate openly Lack of social connection or friends For more advice and support, Relate is available: "Whether it's your relationship with a partner, a child, a family member or anyone else - we help everyone to build better relationships."

Sabrina Carpenter Poses Naked and Rocks Rapunzel Hair on Shocking NSFW 'Rolling Stone' Cover
Sabrina Carpenter bared all — literally — for her new Rolling Stone magazine cover The pop star, who opened up about her new album Man's Best Friend, wore next to nothing for the shoot In an October 2024 interview with Elle, the singer responded to comments about her lingerie-forward wardrobeSabrina Carpenter is giving everyone a show. The "Espresso" singer, 26, stripped down for Rolling Stone's Summer Issue, and the look is so jaw-droppingly sexy that it tops her past skin-baring moments. Published on June 12, the cover shows the Grammy winner kneeling while nude — save for lace-trimmed thigh-high socks and her hair, which is giving some serious mane character energy. For the shoot, Carpenter's '60s soda-can curls were transformed into Rapunzel-level tresses that strategically covered her nude figure. She sported her signature glam with big, feathery eyelashes and rosy cheeks. Accompanying Carpenter's Rolling Stone cover story, in which she opens up about making Man's Best Friend (her new album comes out on Aug. 29), are images of the former Disney Channel star clad in lacy lingerie looks. One of shots sees her posing in a floral lace-up corset and wood stilettos while another has her looking like well, a rated-R Disney princess in a blue gingham dress, unbuttoned to show off her matching briefs and bra. Not too long ago, Carpenter kicked off her new era with her single "Man Child," which she teased with a NSFW trailer that saw her hitchhiking in denim booty shorts. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Provocative looks have become synonymous with Carpenter's brand, especially since she embarked on her Short n' Sweet chapter last summer. And while the pop star has become one of fashion's most recognizable stars, her style has been hit with criticism for being too sexual. Though, she hasn't so much as bat an eyelid to the scrutiny. In an October 2024 interview with Elle, she said that doesn't let the critics get to her because she simply doesn't pay attention to it. is now available in the Apple App Store!

'Someone told me this, whenever I would get upset or feel like I'm the only one getting criticized for something other people are able to do seemingly so freely: I'm the one that's seeing all the negative shit about myself. My friends don't see that.' Yet, when she saw criticism on her 2025 Met Gala look on social media this past May, she wasn't so shy about clapping back. "Damn I f----- up," she said in response to an X user lamenting about her pantless Louis Vuitton look. Read the original article on People

Sabrina Carpenter Returns To No. 1 As Her Next Era Is About To Begin
The next era of Sabrina Carpenter's reign as one of the biggest pop stars in the world is about to kick off. The singer recently announced a new single titled "Man Child," which is slated to drop on Thursday, June 5. As the singer-songwriter heads into another chapter, the album that turned her into a pop powerhouse, Short N' Sweet, is in charge yet again. Carpenter returns to the No. 1 spot on the Official Albums chart in the United Kingdom with her full-length Short N' Sweet. The title steps up from second place to become the most consumed collection in the country. That's quite the accomplishment for a project that reaches a milestone 40 frames on the roster as it regains control of the throne. Short N' Sweet has now led the charge in the U.K. for five nonconsecutive frames. Interestingly, none of those have been in a row. The title debuted at No. 1 in early September 2024 and last ruled in March of this year. Throughout its lifetime, Carpenter's breakout project has never fallen outside of the top five. In fact, the lowest it's ever declined is No. 5 — a position it reached in February, but only for one stint. Short N' Sweet manages to succeed despite declining on most of the consumption-based rosters that help dictate where a title lands on the Official Albums chart. The set drops to No. 20 on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums rankings and holds in last place at No. 100 on the Official Album Downloads list. It does, however, rule the Official Albums Streaming roster, as it seems that plays on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music are largely keeping Carpenter's full-length going. This week, Carpenter fends off competition from legendary pop-rock band Sparks. The American group almost scores its first No. 1 with its twenty-eighth full-length Mad!, which instead settles for second place. That's still a new high point for the outfit. Last week's champion, I'm the Problem by Morgan Wallen, drops from No. 1 to No. 10. Short N' Sweet is being kept afloat largely by the continued success of a number of huge hits featured on its tracklist. Carpenter scores six big songs on the U.K. charts this week, five of which come from her Grammy-winning project. "Espresso" and "Please Please Please" are the top performers, while "Taste," "Busy Woman," and "Bed Chem" follow behind.
