The Peter Pansy

"He acts like a twelve year old" often comes up when discussing men. Before I go any further... lets analyze this statement. A twelve year old boys life consisted of a woman making his breakfast, lunch and dinner, doing his laundry, being his chauffeur, and cleaning. She was buying him clothes to wear and dropping him off to see his friends... in fact she encouraged him to stay out of the house, play sports and spend time with his buddies. So yes, 12 years old seems like a natural age for a man to revert back to given the circumstances.

Now he's 29 or 30 years old and we get annoyed with the him for spending an over-abundant amount of time with his "bros."

The Peter Pansy is the man who doesn't want to grow up. He isn't ready for a real relationship with a girlfriend. Don't get the Peter Pansy confused with the frat boy. The frat boy doesn't want a relationship for completely different reasons. One is screwing everything, one just loves his boy time. I'll let you decide which is which. 

How do you know if you are dating a Peter?

1. He blows you off consistently for the boys.

2. He blows you off for the boys even after he spent all week with them.

3. He would rather be out getting wasted than going to dinner with you.

4. You are constantly asking yourself why he doesn't want to spend time with you.

5. You are constantly asking yourself why he doesn't call you or text you back.

6. He will tell you he likes you. He will do everything right up to a certain point and then panic and go on a three day bender with his friends watching football and playing video games. Monday morning he will claim he lost his phone over the weekend.

7. The sex isn't that good. (to state the obvious: why would it be if he is spending all his time with his friends?)

7. You or your girlfriends have said on more than one occasion "What, is he gay or something?"

8. Huge momma's boy.

I guess what I am saying is that the Pansy is the poor mans Bachelor. Bachelor has a "suave" connotation to it. The Bachelor dates, he loves women, he just doesn't want commitment because he has everything he could want. He's set in his career, he has women, he has his life the way he wants it. The Bachelor is George Clooney. A Pansy, however, will be successful and have all the qualities of a Bachelor but won't be THAT cool. They will be harder to forgive. Why? The Bachelor will give you an orgasm. The Pansy... will not.
