It depends on the level of deceit or messing with another's head. A harmless prank and to see the confused look on the persons face can be cute. But to not be quick on the drawl and laugh at you on purpose is called a grouping of hens belittling you.

So .......... do most women find it cute when this happens, as if they're watching a baby throw a tantrum?
It is not cute in a grown man. It shows a lack of maturity, anger issues, and an inability to handle situations in a logical manner. Ugh. I might laugh, but I would never go out with you again, if I witnessed such a display. "Aww cute" would not be the phrase I would use to describe your behavior.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Women tend to think that practically anything is cute.

We don't think it's cute, because it's not cute. They are sarcastically telling you you're acting like a baby.

I had a boyfriend in college who had a horrible anger problem. Since I was mostly non-emotional, this really bothered me after a while. He would stomp his feat, throw things, turn all red, break things. I used to mock him for it (I know, immature, but I was like 19, and he was acting much more immature, so the door was opened). I used to say things like "Aw, poor baby having a wittle tantwum" in a voice you would use for a cute little puppy. Or I'd say "Awww, you poor thing! The world is just so unfair" in a voice you'd use for a little kid, and pat him on the head. Needless to say this enraged him more, but by then I was ready to break up with him, so didn't care.

Most normal people, men or women, don't think there's anything cute when a baby throws a tantrum.
Nor would they find anything appealing about a grown man acting out his frustration.
