Why Do Girls Look Down on Guys That Live With Their Parents Around the Ages of 22-27?

[HallowedBeThyName]

If he can't afford a car and a cell phone, he probably shouldn't have a car and a cell phone. I didn't. I took the bus or biked to work. People got a hold of me the old fashioned way.

 

 

I don't live in an 18th century village, there are no busses here and his school is 45 minutes away. Also how is he going to work without a cell phone?

 

 

Do you even read the nonsense you're writing?

 

 

I'm a ethologist. But, in the beginning, instead of spending my money on luxury items, I invested it. I invested in real estate, mutual funds, stocks, a couple of bonds. And I did well. Like I said, I didn't have a nice car or a cell phone for quite awhile, but I did have a pretty nice retirement fund.

 

 

Well, you should be happy that you're in the very small minority of people who has success like that with investments, most people do not and have to work till they're 50 or 60+ to retire

 

 

I wouldn't apply your very very unique experience to the rest of the population

Living your whole existence in one town is really showing when you write that stuff. As though buses only existed centuries ago!

Answer: women don't look down on men who live with their parents between the ages of 22-27, they look down on insecure, pathetic little boys who can't accept it's not the fact that they live at home which is preventing them from getting a women, but the frat that they are angry misogynists who live in a deluded bubble.

 

Thread is over. The end.

 

 

 

Calling me a misogynist is ludicrous

 

 

 

I hate stupidity across the board, regardless of gender. The issue is that I'm just seeing it a ton in this thread and it's all coming from the females

 

 

I do NOT hate all women, not at all. I just hate stupid women. My best friend is dating a 28 year old babe who has her own house and I love her and my buddy to death. She's smart cause she recognized my friend is razor sharp and will be making six figures in no time when he's older and she doesn't give a sht about superficial and petty things like the fact that he lives at home. In fact, they're going to move in soon and get married together my guess would be

 

 

I have another friend who is like that and I'm very happy for them too

[udolipixie]

Pretty clear interpretation that somebody who is living at home is not a self sufficient adult

Yet nowhere does that state you're supposed to feel this way or that way about what was said.

 

Again I don't recall anyone saying you're supposed to feel this way or that way about what others tell you. The closest I gleamed was get used to people judging you. Probably best suited not to let others opinions have such a handle on your emotions with the exception of amusement.

I was born overseas, I've lived in Armenia/Russia and have also lived in California, New york, Naples Florida and now in a Chicagoland suburb

 

 

 

Yes I'm gonna live the rest of my life here but only because I love the city and I know what it's like everywhere else

 

 

what did I say about presumptive and unfair character assessments? Thank you for proving my point

And why do you care what stupid women think of you? And why do you want to date them?

[dasein]

I've given up trying to make sense of the idiocy being posted in this thread,

 

I hope you will be equally vocal in ferreting out all the insidious "idiocy" posted on LS elsewhere. What was the application process for "idiocy imperator" like? Did you have to compete with other known "idiot-calling" LS members? Must have been stiff competition!

[HallowedBeThyName]

And why do you care what stupid women think of you? And why do you want to date them?

 

 

Because a huge percentage of women don't work on logic/facts, they work on emotions

 

 

 

it's very hard not to get infuriated by the nonsense I'm reading in this thread because it's just one bogus and baseless character assessment after another and it makes me want to vomit

So why would you think buses (not even invented in the 18th century) were an 18th century village piece? After all, Chicago's bus system isn't bad. Probably sucks in the 'burbs. And they aren't in an 18th century village as I recall. NYC and many places in Cali also have great buses. I love the San Fran buses - easier than driving for sure.

The problem is that you are also doing it yourself. If you don't play the "female logic" type cards, it makes them look worse when they throw the "misogynist" card (as they usually end up doing... or the equivalent). Stick to the actual words posted and you'll go farther here. I don't mean that in a condescending way, just sharing a fact of LS since I can't PM you.

May not be ludicrous to some considering your previous posts that while you claim to hate stupidity regradless of gender you seem to give the impression that lacking logic is inherent in gals.

 

So essentially you don't hate gals who operate as you think they should or how you like having preferences you condone. Sort of like how this guy I know states he doesn't hate gals just the ones who don't shut up and do what he says.

my comment was clearly a joke/exaggeration. There are no busses here in the suburbs though or where my buddy goes to school for pharmacy

How's that working out for you? How many people do you think you've persuaded to change their minds?

[Ruby Slippers]

Hell I'll be in better financial shape than 90% of the country and I'm NOT okay with being judged for doing that

If you're so confident in your herculean future earning power, then why are you so angry? You should be laughing at us ignorant working stiffs.

 

To me, you look like a spoiled, sheltered, angry little boy hording his toys and screaming because the girls outside the sandbox won't play with him.

 

If you don't like me, I don't give a f*ck. If you're going to sit there and tell me that I'm not independent or self sustaining adult, you can go F*ck yourself

Don't mind if I do! I can even do it on my living room couch if I want, with no worry of mom or dad seeing.

Let's get this correct. I hate anybody who looks down on people who live at home to save up money/pay off debt/get financially settled

 

 

The problem is that you don't see it with men too often because men work on logic/facts and they understand all the benefits of staying at home a few years later while you get financially settled down

 

 

You have your entire life to live by yourself and with a girlfriend/wife/kids, why the rush to move out so quickly? Is it really that awful to spend time with your family? Not to mention that it's an incredibly shallow and petty mindset to judge somebody for taking an extra few years to prepare themselves to be better off for that time period

 

 

I understand the whole judging somebody for living at home at 30 and not doing anything with his life, but judging 25 year olds who are very successful and very hard working for choosing to live at home to better prepare themselves for late 20s adult life is just plain astonishing

 

 

Like I said, life is a marathon, not a sprint. I see tons of people who have apartments who struggle to barely get by. If you think that person is better off than somebody like me who takes the proper steps to become wealthy at a young age by saving up and buying a home at a time when it's a huge buyers' market, then I'm sorry you're an idiot

[dasein]

How many people do you think you've persuaded to change their minds?

 

Can't poll the 400 or so lurkers of this board to find out, but as far as changing regulars' minds? I have no illusions of doing that.

[Stupid Girl]

Calling me a misogynist is ludicrous

You are literally delusional. Let's look back at the first few pages of this thread, at some of your more "insightful" quotes:

 

"See this is why I get into arguments with women. I work on logic"

"Female logic is truly hilarious."

"Girls care more about what society thinks of them than doing what makes the most logical sense"

"female logic :lmao:"

"That's female logic at it's best"

"it's not about the principals. Women are just lying about that"

"Women don't care about the principals, anybody who believes that nonsense is just a complete idiot"

 

You are a textbook misogynist. And ignorant. And quite frankly, you are pathetic.

 

You did inspire me to start a new thread though, so this thread wasn't completely useless

[HallowedBeThyName]

To me, you look like a spoiled, sheltered, angry little boy hording his toys and screaming because the girls outside the sandbox won't play with him.

 

 

Except I'm not spoiled. I worked in college all the way through and didn't allow my dad to pay for my tuition even when he very easily could have. I didn't go live in a dorm and have my dad pay for that either when I very easily could have. I told my dad to put that money in his retirement fund so he could retire at 55 and enjoy the rest of his life

 

 

Yet lots of my friends did do both those things. I took student loans because I wanted to pay for my tuition. The funny thing is that a lot of my friends now are living in nice apartments by themselves who had their parents pay for everything because they don't have the 20 grand in debt that I have. Hell my friends worked in college and probably left college with 5+ grand in the bank because their parents payed for everything and let them pocket whatever money they earned

 

 

If you met me and my friends, you would think my friends are the "independent, self-sustaining adults" While I'm just the dumb kid living at home right?

 

 

What did I tell you about undue presumptive character assessments?

[Alexanda]

Well in this economy its understandable. The only people that I know that have their own places are people who are making decent salaries. Other people are living with friends, relatives, or their significant others/spouses. I have a friend who makes $50k a year who has his own apartment and he is always complaining about how expensive things are. A lot of college grads are out there struggling to pay rent, student loans, other bills and what not and a lot of employers want to "save" as much money as they can by not paying people that much money. I know people with college degrees who have crappy jobs waiting tables are they work as a sales associate in retail. Its rough out there.

Come on Alexanda

 

 

What are you doing injecting real life logic, facts and reasonable thinking into this thread?

 

 

You know the people in this thread have no time for anything like that

 

 

If you can't afford an apartment, you should work 80 hours a week and be 50 grand in debt so you can afford the apartment. That's what makes you a real man, yea

Yet no one to my recollection none on this forum stated anything about looking down on those who live at home then again you're 'reading between the lines'

 

I actually often do see guys looking down on gals who live at home with guys often it tends to be used as support for the meme of gals skate by in life, have it easy, don't have to pay for anything unless they want to, are coddled treated like children, raised to be daddy's little princess, get their inflated egos and self-entitlement from and such & such.

 

The people being in a rush to move out is perception as you may see people being in a rush to move out and others may see you as being slow to develop as an adult. Bit of a logical fallacy questioning a person moving out with 'is it really that awful to spend time with your family'. A person can being in a rush to move out may have nothing to do with seeing spending time with their family as awful.

 

Whether it's shallow and petty to judge by living situation is a toss up. It's not plain astonishing to me judging a 25 year old as people often judge others on things people often don't even bother getting to know what kind of person somebody is if they don't past things that may be considered petty or superifical.

 

I see tons of people who have apartments or houses that don't struggle to get by. I see tons of people who live at home and struggle to get by. Your idiot remark relies on the assumption that the person would value such success. It also overlooks that taking the proper steps to become wealthy at a young age waiting to buy a home when it's a huge buyer's market can be done not living at home.

Is this a joke? I know 35 year old guys with million dollar homes who would gladly date 21 year olds who live at home

 

 

Most of the women here seem to find it truly awful to have their own apartment and be dating somebody who lives at home, even if that person makes twice as much money as them (which is the case here)

 

 

Pretty incredible

/LS poster logic

I don't recall telling anyone posters telling others what they should and shouldn't do much less stating others should go into debt to be a man. Is this more 'reading between the lines'? Stating what you prefer in a partner isn't necessarily advocating that others fulfill it.
