I don't think people on this subreddit realize, but there are a lot of men who are well to do, decent looking, have decent jobs, but are still largely invisible to women.
Also it's very much to my mom's benefit that I live with her. She has health issues, and she needs someone around to check up on her at least once in a while.
My goal is financial independence (check out /r/financialindependence) — I haven't achieved it yet. And no, I definitely cannot afford a house in any sort of remotely desirable area, particularly with the current day interest rates. The irony in all this? Almost everyone will NEED a dual income household.
Beautiful people do have privilege over non-beautiful people regardless of sex — I agree. It seems far more pronounced in women, because women are evaluated in society primarily by their looks first and their competency secondarily. For men, looks obviously help, but if you're incompetent — it will only help to a very limited degree.
I don't think any of them said that though? /u/Dizzy_Nerve3091 seems to be alluding to the hypothetical that for people in such situations, they feel hopeless and forced in said situation, so they don't feel any obligation to anyone — especially not the ones who forced them into said situation. Personally, I make decent money for my age (low 100k), but I still choose to live with my mom. I care about financial indepencece more than anything else, and paying for some boomer landlord's mortgage an…
It's really funny seeing boomers/Gen Xers on this thread getting mad over this. Like you realize your generation is what caused this mess in the first place, right? Maybe shouldn't have voted in all those zoning laws that created an artificial housing shortage. Also, it appears a lot of parents aren't kicking out their adult children: https://news.prudential.com/58-young-adults-are-still-living-at-home-impacting-their-parents-path-to-retirement.htm Also keep in mind, this is very much an AMERICA…
Americans are so funny. What if I'm helping my elderly parents get around and basic chores. As others have said dozens of times, what if I'm helping with household expenditures? Just because you've been brainwashed into this being the right way because of rugged individualism that the boomers bought into so heavily and manifested as a cultural zeitgeist — you only need to go and look at the rest of the world to see that it doesn't work the same everywhere else. /u/ScrimmyBingusTwo
If you explore the philosophy of antinatalism too, it really begs the question — the parents were the ones who forced us into existence, so why is it seen as the child being parasitic when they were born into an era with very limited socioeconomic opportunities and rampant hyperinflation?
Then you realize the dopamine spikes you get from stuff is just that — spiking and fleeting. After investigating Buddhism, Stoicism, Epicureanism, and Minimalism, it's really crazy how much people are absolute dopamine slaves to impulsive spending.
Can you please stop asserting demonstrably false figures and statistics as absolute fact? Like do all of the stats you pull come from the 1970s or something? Just look up some recent headlines from the past 2 years, the general range shows about 40-60 percent of US adults are living at their parents place as of 2022 — this number will probably continue rising as the rampant inflation keeps making general living expenses more and more unaffordable. https://news.prudential.com/58-young-adults-are-…
I like how people are freaking out about a one-time payment of $500 that will last you 4-5 years when people go and lease a brand new car for $500-700 a month not including several thousand dollar down payment.
There are very average looking women and women who never even reveal their face on onlyfans getting thousands of dollars a month. There is some evolved proclivity in some men to just give their money to women.

Not really the same for men unless you're and to become a TikTok influencer of sorts, but you actually need to be entertaining and interesting independent of your looks then.
Women literally don't have any idea of what it's like, because those wages are a function of supply and demand. There isn't nearly as much demand for male models, because most advertising is geared towards women — as they account for the vast majority of consumption. The wage gap argument has consistently been debunked since the 80s-90s, when accounting for occupation type, hours worked, and women leaving the workforce to have children — it all effectively points to wages never being unfair.
