Actually, alot of females I know have Wendy Syndrome - they try to mother all of the boys in their lives.

My bf back in college had this. He didn't have any positive male role models in his life, and was raised by a mother who hated men, so he never wanted to become one.

I think many people have trouble growing up to a certain extent, but the actual "Peter Pan Syndrome" is more serious than just not wanting to get old.

Yep, I got it, but not in the sense that I can't handle paying bills or performing other important adult tasks. I look at it as more of a "carpe diem" or "free spirit" feeling because I'm in my 20s and enjoying life on my own. And then there are some days when I just act like a kid (i.e. going on the swings in a park, eating ice cream and spoiling my appetite, having snowball or waterballoon fights with friends, pulling harmless pranks on friends...that kind of stuff.
