man child
Grown but juvenile
A man child is an adult male who remains emotionally immature, irresponsible, or dependent—someone who hasn't outgrown childish behaviors despite his age.
The term is derogatory, suggesting arrested development: He's a man child who still expects his girlfriend to do his laundry.
Often describes men who avoid adult responsibilities while indulging in video games, partying, or other adolescent pursuits.
