To think women know the 'explanation' for why more young men than women live with parents

Exactly. I was in shared houses (I was a teacher in London) from age 23 to 28 - when I bought a one-bedroom flat in South Acton with my boyfriend.

By 34, it will be because a of them are paying child maintenance

Brutally honest, but at 40, men have much more dating value than women of the same age. Both parties know this, so women don't hang around and play to their strength and couple up younger. In the UK between 3-7 years older for the man depending on age at marriage.

DS tells me he's staying until he's 34, he absolutely isn't 🤣
Seriously though if they don't move out after uni I'll feel I've failed at producing independent adults.

Don’t be ridiculous, young women are typically much more independent than men, despite salaries still disproportionately meaning that men earn more.

edit: was supposed to quote the post about only fans and didn’t

This is only an option if you live somewhere with good wages and cheap rent, and it's become so much harder as rents have risen massively more than wages. Young people in high cost of living areas are often paying 50-60% of their take home pay to rent a room in a house share, so it's impossible for them to save up enough to buy their own place

It's the fault of women/mothers then.

I hadn’t thought of that. That’s a fair point actually.

I left home at 18 because my parents were far too strict and it wasn't a nice environment. I'd have stayed longer if they'd given me a bit more freedom.

They called me up a lot in the early days because I had always been blamed for everything and I wasn't there to blame any more, so they called me up and told me they'd had a big argument and it was my fault (despite me being a two hour drive away and not being aware of anything).

So actually I think it's a compliment if your kids want to stay.

Sad but true. My friend's mid-20s son is very much her little boy. He doesn't have to lift a finger. She even makes his lunches every day. He was allowed to have his [now ex] girlfriend virtually move in. Why would he leave?

She loves it. He loves it. But god help any future woman in his life..

Exactly, by 30 they have caught up even if it does take them longer. It's no excuse for not learning the basics and life skills to help you find a partner to share costs with.

And their Papas let them get away with it (or fucked off to make more kids)

Because their mommies continue to treat them like dependent babies.

Apologies perhaps my comment was unclear. Males and females follow different developmental paths and our lives are not morphed by the same drivers. The OP is interested in why men might stay at home longer than women.

I don't understand what 6 year olds have to do with the thread 🤷‍♀️

I just couldn't imagine living at home at 35 or having adult kids still living at home.

Not everyone lives at home because they “want to save for a mortgage”. For all we know the numbers may be very different 5 years later on when women return home (often with children in tow) or to care for parents.

Tell us the explanation, Oh Wise One, because I have absolutely no idea.

I don't really know what the issue is with multigenerational households in the UK, in many countries it's the norm. I'd love 18 year old DS to be at home but he loves living away and I can't see him ever coming back full time as he's doing a degree apprenticeship and already earning. Both of us are pretty lazy when it comes to household chores though.

Good trolling - I'm guessing you're an incel?

oh dear, think this says quite a bit about your mindset vs reality.

Seems to be the sole reason for this thread. How original eh? Not had one of these for over an hour.

Do many 6 year olds want to get mortgages? 😄

Families must teach their sons that not pulling their weight, obsessive porn use and not having any general desire to travel are not exciting prospects for a future wife (or husband). Men have to start teaching their sons how to be better humans. So many women on dating sites love reading/culture/brains, yet all the men don't read. It's depressing.

Could be lots of reasons.

Typical symptoms of autism in men and women differ and often women can more effectively mimic and so can deal with getting out of the house better and the social side of getting work and living independently.

More women then men go to uni which is good practice for living away and making friends who you may live with.

It's possibly that sone of the women are moving in with weather/older men rather then working and earning enough to live on their own personally.

Women tend to be better trained in life stuff so leaving home is less intimidating.

Women tend to perform better academically and possibly are more attractive for graduate jobs (before the inevitable maternity bias kicks in).

The council house answer above is interesting and may be a factor. Women with children are generally prioritised above single men. Single women with kids are more common then single men with kids.

Do we know if separated men are more or less likely to return to parents house then women? If there are kids involved and mothers are more likely to be primary parent, dad's are more likely to be the one moving out of the marital home and if the mother moves out with kids they are more likely to move to another property rather then to parents because of space issues.
