Most of the guys I know who live with their parents still are there because their mothers won’t let them grow up.
The few guys I know in those arrangements are practically caring for their parents at this point (and the siblings that moved out on their own are glad the single ones can do so). I don’t know if I’d be living at home if I hadn’t gotten married, but I would feel no shame about it at all.
A while back someone posted a picture of a group of “awkward-looking” young men playing video games to mock them, and I asked why people were so determined to mess with their obvious happiness/contentment. Unsurprisingly, nobody could/would answer that question.
Maybe their loving mothers know what awaits them...
I’ve seen that as well, more than once.

It is true, many of the mothers are divorced and need a man in the house. The son with the heart will not abandon her in her loneliness and relative helplessness around the house.
