Societal phenomenon characterised by not wanting to grow old. Named after Oscar Wilde's famous gothic horror novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray". Many celebrities also try to look younger, though this isn't necessarily psychological as looking nice is sometimes part of their job. Has 4 main components
-Narcissistic character traits
-Lack of the ability to emotionally mature
-Dysmorphophobia, which means excessive concern about conceived flaws in one's body
-And as a result of the former 3, a "Medical Lifestyle" such as hair transplants, botox, erectile dysfunction drugs, etc.
That guy is so obsessed with staying young, I think he has Dorian Gray syndrome.
