I see this trend as a positive development. As a 22 year old man who worked hard in college and was rewarded with a good job upon graduation that pays well enough for me to live independently, having one third of all males my age living off their parents without any prospects in life means less competition for me. Eventually women will get tired of these boys who are content to be slackers and live off their parents, and that will mean more women for me.

For me, my parents never needed to make threats to me that I would have to be out the door by a certain age. I don't think it ever occured to either me or my parents that living at home indefinitely and never doing anything was even a possibility. It was just always assumed that I would go to college, work hard, and take care of my own business. I think the thing is that kids need to know from when they are very young that they will grow up and they will get to be the grownup with their own job and their own place to live.

You only need one. Trust me on this one.
