Anyone (especially males) born after the year 1990 who believes they shouldn't be forced to take on the role of a productive member of society. For example, someone who is in their mid-20's and still lives with their parents while working a minimum wage job and carrying $50K in student loan debt for a liberal arts degree. Those who suffer from Peter-Pan Syndrome also shy away from basic adult responsibilities such as taking out the trash, doing the dishes or going grocery shopping.
Peter Pan Syndrome applies to anyone born after 1990 who still lives with mommy and daddy, and who refuses to behave as a productive, adult member of society, hence "Peter Pan" and refusing to grow up. This phenomenon occurs almost exclusively in males born after 1990.

When a man over 40 dates women in their 20s… because he isn’t mentally matured enough to Meet the standards of women within his age group. These men often don’t commit until they’re elderly.. or act as sugar daddies to the PYT’s and many eventually start families and/or marry these women that have no genuine interest in being with an older man outside of the security or potential benefits the man can provide due to his advanced age and financial success.
The syndrome aspect is that these men are not matured enough to date women that have a established sense of self & life experience to Have learned from … so they keep dating women so much younger that they are looked up to by them instead of equal to them.
