As a guy who bought a house at a fairly young age (Most of my friends bought a house by 26-27 also). Its a massive qualifier for women. If you live alone and/or own your own home it makes dating/hooking up with women 10x easier. Especially if you have a hot tub in your back yard because you can essentially invite women over for drinks in the hot tub and its pretty much like shooting fish in a barrel.




Unless your parents are just extremely wealthy as **** and you live in a mansion and drive super cars living with parents is a death sentence for dating/sexual adventures.
Why do y'all keep saying this. It's not true at all, hell a lot of women would try to move you in with them or rent together.

man times have changed. In my social circle there's like 5 guys with our own houses and we dont get any women. it doesnt matter.

a lot of guys know they arent going to chit in this dating market. so theres no point in doing anything for the purpose of women. it isnt going to happen

True, I have some neighbors where their girlfriend is living with them while living at their parents.

I want to add, the few years ago difference makes a huge difference.

I know someone who was born just a little bit earlier (7 years earlier than me) and they bought a house in the Temecula exurbs for less than 200K on a 60K salary.

They still make 60K, but there is no way they could afford a house there now. If they were born later, they would be even worse off than me.

Times have changed, but it still takes time for old people to catch up.

My dad has cancer so he's unable to work enough to make a living anymore. Luckily my parents have the house paid off so no mortgage. I help pay for pretty much everything so my mom doesn't have to work 3 jobs to feed them both.

Ideally I'd like them to move into my older sister's house then we can rent this house out but my older sis said absolutely not. Deer diary

That's one of the big reasons immigrants are crushing westerners. Western parents kick their kids out at 18, Asian immigrants let their kids live at home until 30 rent free and then buy them a house as a wedding gift.
It's not like this with all Westerners, though.

Italian Americans, Greek Americans, etc (pretty much all the ethnicity from Mediterranean/Balkan countries) have their kids living home for a while as well.

This is how it is in China. The Great Firewall is beloved by many Chinese (even the ones in the US) because they feel that it protects everyone from "bad stuff" and Chinese sites typically have everything.

Imagine if eBay had streaming services, you can buy stuff, social media, instant messaging, dating services.

That's pretty much how these Chinese sites function.

This is true. Some miscer said that family will be the only people that truly care about you.

I hate to see my parents grow old, especially when they been there for me through a lot of times.

It is going to hit hard when they pass.

People keep pointing to housing costs and wages and while they are probably a factor, most of these people in the 25-29 year old range living at home are not even trying to be in the market for a house. They are NEETs who never applied themselves. Most wouldn't know the first thing about even buying a house.

And they get classified as “poor”. This is what our tax dollars fund the most when it comes to welfare and poverty policies. Meaning, we are going to see a big jump in poverty statistics and the Dems will push for more free stuff for the worthless youth.

The taboo has changed

Now the lifestyle has to change.

Living with parents should transform to "families living together"

I imagine a large large house or property with multiple buildings. Parents, adult children and THEIR children all living on the "family estate" as it were.

Nothing would f*ck the capitalist kings and queens harder than this.

Won't be the same brah. It would be like losing my best friends. They are the only reliable people in my life. Have ways had my back and have always given unconditional love.

Can't say the same for the many worthless fuks I called my "friends" in the past.

This is what my relatives in Mexico did. They had this huge property where 3 families (all sisters and their husbands and kids) all lived together.

Going there during Christmas was amazing. Pretty good times back in the day.

Now all the kids are grown, so the families sold and went their separate ways since each moved closer to their kids.

These so called friends stopped talking to me or changed their attitude towards me because of it.

This is what happened before the welfare state and socialist policies. This is why the family unit broke down in the US, and likely across the world. The family was a necessity to survival.

This is literally what it means to be compelled by God; no government, only the people making decisions that are truly good for their individual situations. To be rewarded and punished naturally for good and bad decisions

People are fuking traitors. Give them any reason, and they will stab you in the back.

I disagreed with one over whether multiple bros should be going for the same girl and that was all she wrote. Had no friends after that. Word got around and I got labeled a traitor. I guess that's what happens when I am friends with incels, a girl gets between everyone.

My initial guess is the people still living at home for years more than previous generations are usually because of college debt. Tuition growth is insane and it's not going to get better until significantly less people attend college for years.

And of course rent has been crazy the last year or two, so young people are on average pretty fuked right now and will be for years. My oldest child will be looking at the prospect of going applying to colleges a decade from now and unless he has a rock solid degree he wants to pursue, I'll discourage him from going to a 4 yr college. Which is sad because when I was a kid it wasn't a matter of whether I was going to attend a 4 yr college or not, it was where.

The college cartel and banking have really fuked things up in this country.

Victim mentality is everything. They were raised soft as hell, while ironically thinking they have it harder than any generation lmao


Knock the boomers all you want. They weren’t hugged when they were kids, and got booted out of their home at 18.

Millennials issue isn’t that their lives have been too difficult (despite them saying otherwise). It’s that they’ve had it too easy

If you’re in your late 20s and tell a woman you live with mommy and daddy it absolutely signals that you are a loser , compared to guys who actually have their **** together and have an apartment or loft downtown by the bars

Good point. I had roommates from 18-24. I had no problem getting poon. When I was 30 I got divorced, quit my job and went traveling for almost half a year, then moved in with a married couple I was friends with for about a year. Again no problem at all getting poon. Even easier than in college. I'm sure a couple of the women I hooked up with for a short term basis were turned off by my living situation, but it sure didn't matter to most. I had a few friends with benefits that wanted to be more than that, but I wasn't about that. I met my wife who I now have kids with a couple of years later when I was renting downstairs of a very old, drafty duplex. And at the time I was choosing between her and another chick that wanted to be in a relationship with me. Both of them real world 9/10. The other chick still wanted me for awhile after I was exclusively dating my now wife, even though I had financially regressed from my 20s.

The "women only want you if you've got ___ car or ____ salary or own a home" is way overhyped my miscers compared to the real world. Sure, having deep pockets can help, but it's not required for more than a small number of women. It's more of a bonus, not a requisite for most. Even if you don't have your schit together, most women will see past that so long as they see you have potential.
