I have seen in many US shows where they portray guys who are living with parents as losers, or there are jokes or memes about it, I never get it.

    Back when I was a kid in the early 2000s we still had the mentality that it was easy to get a good job and buy a house and love by yourself. So when a young adult didn’t, the stigma was that they were too lazy to get a great job handed to them.

    Since at least the 2008 recession that really hasn’t been the case, but the culture hasn’t caught up, or was slower to catch up.

      I know that’s a typo, but making it easier to bring home hookups was, like, 80% of the reason for me.
