    In Amazon book review comment for the book, 10 Smart Things Gay Men Can Do To Improve Their Lives, one commenter pointed out a point from the book: "graduate from eternal adolescence".

    Does anyone know what this means?

    I imagine its the perceived peter pan syndrome that is commonly associated with the gay community. Suggesting that gay guys do not get past their adolescence stage. They want to stay young, act young and live life as if they are still young. And with this, probably allude to gay guys making material life decisions as if they were still an adolescent.

    Thanks OnTheHighway. I'm actually going to order the book soon. The point in a commenter's post struck me yesterday for some reason. Here we go.
