Never want to grow up.
It's not a bad thing.
Most of the time it's used, is when there is the 40 year old man who is single, succesful, and has a date every other night.
Like George clooney has Peterpan Syndrome.

Many see this syndrome as a very widespread problem in modern, post-industrial society.
The Peter-Pan psychological type is one characterized by immaturity or certain sorts of psychological, social, and sexual problems. The type of male personality in question is immature and narcissistic. More completely, according to Kiley, the characteristics of a "Peter-Pan" include such attributes as irresponsibility, rebelliousness, anger, narcissism, dependency, manipulativeness, and the belief that he is beyond society's laws and norms. According to Kiley, "Peter Pan" is the adult little boy who, when in a relationship or in seeking a relationship, acts out a need for mothering.

Peter Pan syndrome is a deep-seated belief that one will never, and must never, grow up. It is named after the legendary character of the same name who lived in Neverland, a place where kids are immune to aging.

Peter Pan Syndrome is when people (especially men, I think) don't grow up and act immaturely in several different way. For instance they can be irresponsible, narcissistic, dependent, and believe that the laws of society don't apply to them.

Peter Pan is the eternal child. Are you the playful variety who likes to think/act like a kid? Not necessarily a bad thing, especially if you have an adult sense of responsibilty. Kids tend to love it. Something that you can utilize with your own kids (if you have them), teaching/playing with others' kids, etc.

Peterpan syndrom means you never grow up. You are immature.

Do you want to grow up?
Do you want to go to school?
Do you want to learn the Golden Rule?
If you don't want to do any of these, you have Peter Pan Syndrome. Basically, if you're irresponsible and only into enjoying yourself, that's it.

I have no idea, I wouldn't be surprised if it has something to do with Michael Jackson though.
It doesn't seem to be a real condition:

I believe it means not wanting to grow up. Who does?
