I sometimes hear or read sentences such as:

  1. 行かないでよね！
  2. 聞かないでよね！

I get 「行かないでね！」and 「行かないでよ！」 but I wonder what nuance is added when both of
them are used like in these examples.

I have the feeling that these are often used by young girls but I am not sure.
Can it be used by men too?

question
nuances particles て-form imperatives particle-ね
What does よ bring in 「〜ないでよね」？
It's basically the same as (imperative +) よ, i.e. request ~~when the listener
doesn't seem to share the same recognition as the speaker~~ when you doubt
that the opponent does it.

In falling tone*1, it stands for complaint as well as よ, and extra ね softens
it, sort of.

(*1 **Edit** : I wrote "falling tone" because of similarity to falling よ, but
I should have written it as "lower intonation" or so. This ね pronounced lower
than that of the below, but it can be still higher than the preceding よ per
se. So, it's actually not "falling".)

In rising tone*2, it sounds more imploring than simple (imperative +) よ？,
which prompts attention to not forget about it.

(*2 This "rising tone" means that ね is pronounced higher than よ. If you
further pronounce ね itself in sharp falling tone, it functions as (imperative
+) よ with interjection ね, and the result is roughly the same.)

And, now that you mention it, it could sound a little too wimpy for men to
use, though I think it depends on people, after all.
