First off, apologizes. This phrase, made popular on TV Tropes, is the best way to describe the male half of District 12's representatives in The Hunger Games. While shown to be a explicitly strong, blond haired Adonis, Peeta is a cunning and devious thinker who happens to be a pretty boy. He also needs to be constantly cared for and cuddled or else he gets all frowny! Yes, he's really not going to be much of a "hero" here and Katniss winds up saving his baker's bum more than not throughout the games.
He's also a big dick for a while since, well, that's a spoiler. Who wants to be spoiled before the Hunger Games? You could also read the book and find out why, at first, Peeta is not so good during the games). So what is a "woobie?"
Remember WALL-E?
That. Only more pathetic and desperate of being saved and cuddled. This is the part for the female side of the audience, which leaves dudes with badass Katniss, who could probably kick their ass anyway. In fact, compared to Katniss, almost everyone is a weakling.
