Manchild

A Manchild or Puer aeternus (Latin for 'Eternal Boy') is an adult male whose emotional life and psychological traits have remained at an adolescent level, which is also known as Peter Pan syndrome. He typically leads a "provisional life" due to the fear of being caught in a situation from which it might not be possible to escape, hence covets independence and freedom, opposes boundaries and limits, and tends to find any restriction intolerable.

He refuses to grow up and meet the challenges of life head-on, commonly waiting that his problems are solved by itself. Common symptoms of the Manchild psychology are dreams of an imprisonment and similar imagery: chains, bars, cages, entrapment, bondage. Life itself...is experienced as a prison.

They're often Laying Down and Rotting as NEETs, Hikikomoris and Weebs, have no driver's license, still live with their parents, and generally do not participate in soy normie-ish activities, such as going to foid-including Parties with the intent of hoping to fuck fat drunk women while their looksmatch gets pumped and dumped by Chad, or marrying a femoid just to be divorceraped shortly after.

Most foids see them as too weak, dependant and more as a potential son than a worthy sexually-selected sex-haver, therefore Manchildcels are very common. In an actual patriarchal sense, Roasties like to use the term "Man up" for everything a Beta doesn't want to cope with in this current bluepilled Soyciety (see Causes of Inceldom).

It's debatable if a Manchild Epidemic may be an alternative or an indirect form of a Beta Uprising.

According to the Urban Dictionary, typical traits of Manchilds are:

• Whining instead of cope with it or no will to change it
• Childish humor, activities and naive thinking
• Blaming others for their problems
• Want to take no responsibility
• Children see him as another child but not an adult

Peter Pan syndrome

Manchildren are mentioned in the popular science book out the early 1980s with the same name The Peter Pan Syndrome written by Dan Kiley. It describes men that never want to grow up like the Disney figure Peter Pan. Typical traits mentioned are

• no self-discipline, responsibility and long time goals
• more thinking and living in imagination than doing things
• blames others for his mistakes
• fear and secret guilt
• depend on others and often need help from others
• unable to love and be in a relationship
• loneliness
• chauvinism, egocentric and narcissism
• problems to fit in the gender role of an adult, which is often the image of a Chad and NPC-Wagie for males in society

The Peter Pan Syndrome's clinical psychology traits can be parts of an immature personality disorder, or of cluster-C personality disorders like dependent personality disorder or avoidant personality disorder.
