I'll give a bit of background info about myself, I'm UMC and grew up in a UMC area with pretty well off classmates / peers.

However, it seems like the majority of guys are having trouble finding a job. Many live in their parents basement and working minimum wage despite having a degree. These guys are not ugly, or stupid, or poor, or uneducated. Ironically the geeks and misfits from my high school seem to be the few who are actually living on their own, earning good money etc.

Their sisters all have careers and work hard, most don't live at home.

What's going on? How come so many young guys are falling behind? This is also affecting the dating market alot, it's hard to have a LTR from your parents basement.
