The factor that posts to this thread are missing is lack of mature sexual interest - which seems common in SPD and I assume also in PPS - perhaps we share a propensity to be stuck in early teens sexuality.

I see where my main difference are. I am not looking to be a boy having fun, I am looking to not deal with other people's ego/emotional BS. I guess I look more lazy and aimless so probably not mistaken for the other. At work, I just look asocial and focused. I may be playful at times but if I attract anyone, they are looking for the stable silent type. As for having someone else pay, not gonna happen unless they strongly insist which I find annoying. I don't want to feel like I owe anyone.

The article that was linked earlier didn't convince me. Back in the day, the type of men it describes were called hustlers or playboys. I think that the writer has confused her pop-psychological concepts there. Isn't Peter Pan syndrome more about a person's inability to grow up emotionally, than his (or her) tendency to sponge off other people?

Considering that both Adolf Hitler and Michael Jackson have been claimed to have it, the concept seems rather broad in content. :)

I never quite understand what you mean, but I like your words.

Why do you have a number for a name?

Financial independence and virtually complete self-sufficiency is ideal, but in terms of mindset I like to be childlike, as I associate adulthood with things I like to repress or prevent from developing, such hypersexuality (or overt sexuality at all), parenthood, looming mortality, etc...just things that make me cringe and feel too much like part of a circle in a cesspool.
