"He Lives In His Mother's Basement"

[FunInTheSunParticipant 8283]

I’ve often heard people humiliating men who live with their parents or one parent—particularly with the phrase, “He lives in his mother’s basement.” Many women will say they won’t date a man in that situation—although many men, myself included, wouldn’t have a problem with dating a woman who lived with her parents.

Some people will say there’s something wrong with a man who doesn’t go out into the world and live independently. They’ll judge him as socially inept person who lacks the ambition to make a name for himself in this world. I say, “To each his own.” Many families have lived together in the 19th century—that’s how many Americans survived and prospered. And people used to take care of their old folks instead of sending them to nursing homes.

The social standard of a young man leaving his parents as soon as he becomes 18 isn’t as feasible as it was 40 years ago—when jobs would be given to just about anyone (without drug tests, psychology questionnaires, criminal background checks, and several interviews). It takes time for most people to work their way up to a decent wage. And many young adults find it easier to stay with their parents—rent free—during their college years since tuition has skyrocketed in the last two decades.

Hell, I wish I could live in my mother’s basement (if she had one available) for a few years so I could save up some money. I don’t need to impress anyone except those that I work for and make deals with.

"I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win-and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

D@mn straight! I left my parents home when it was financially sensible, and until then it was a great arrangement.

We just don't realize life's most significant events while they're happening. Back then, I thought, "Well, there'll be other days". I didn't realize that that was the only day. - "Moonlight" Graham

My Mom doesnt have a basement.

As you pointed out, 3 Generations use to live under one roof.
Each looked out for the other.

Now Elders are droped of at a warehouse, and young Men shamed if they cant affored to live alone.

And this is better?

Why.

I only live ‘alone’ because I need to room for my kids when they are home. Which they are half the time or more.

If I didn’t want to make a home for them I would house share or something so it was easier financially.

But as for living with my mother?

I judge no man for doing that though. If it’s economically sensible to do so I support it.

My mother is impossible to be around for more than 10minutes per anmmum.

That’s just your TYPICAL Shaming Language.

Women trying to hide their own insecurities by shaming and projecting on men…

Let’s be honest here. Men probably live in their mothers basement cause his mom got the house in divorce from the father. Pair that with the son losing his house to his wife in divorce, then it all makes perfect sense.

Side note, the mom gets a guy around the house for free labor. If she didn’t benefit he’d probably be on the street.

Hope that someday I may lead others the path I have learned. As Virgil led Dante through Hell.

Noticed how it said “mothers basement” not “parents”. Anyone else pick up on that?

I would rather have lived in my mother’s basement than the wife’s basement, which is what YOUR basement becomes once you get married. Everything that is yours is hers, and everything that is hers is hers.

F~~~ society and its useless opinions.

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.

To me it depends, are you simply living in your mother’s home, or are you living off your Mother, which includes living in her home.

In other words, it one thing to cohabitate together under a situation where you pay your fair share. Including throwing in for you share of expenses, food, utilities, taxes, what have you. It’s another thing to live in your Mom’s house rent free, eat her food, use her car, so on, and basically expect her to pay for your life.

Barring unusual circumstances, after a certain age people, man or woman, should pay for their own life and not expect Mom or a husband or sugar daddy to take on your expenses.

How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.

It should be noted that fifty years ago, an entry level job allowed someone to afford to live on their own, afford clothing and food, even pay for college, and still have a little money left over.

Now, the currency has been so debased and prices have skyrocketed that an entry level job is not enough money to afford to live on their own.

Education and home-ownership have been turned debt traps leading to enslavement of the people by rich foreigners whom have government in their pocket, and whom suck money through wealth stolen by taxes, thus force more people into the rich foreigners debt traps.

Anyone who believes this situation will continue like this is being foolish. The West is heading towards a very hard collapse.

True that. I was aware of the dangers of things like a Black Swan event, things like Peak Oil. I had failed until probably a couple of years ago to see just how thoroughly rotted and corrupt the West is.

It is not going to take 200 years to collapse like Rome; things move much faster in the modern era. The beauty of it is you don’t have to do anything to make it collapse. You simply get the f~~~ out of the way, pop some popcorn and watch the fall.

I was just thinking about the phrase
‘Living in mother’s basement’

Yes she probably did get the house in the divorce.

If the guy was living with his dad the author of the article wouldn’t be able to use shaming lagauge because she would have to say that the guy simply lives with his dad.
His dad would be cool enough him living in the upstairs and having a bedroom.

So the author had to use the shamjng language of ‘mothers basement’

Anything that appears to empower a female and shame a Male.

Misandrist garbage.

That’s an excellent observation Doc.

Big deal. So he lives with family. Could be for any number of reason.

Maybe he has bad credit
Maybe he’s fresh off a divorce
Maybe his parent/parents are ill and need constant care

If he’s contributing, what business is it of anyone else’s? In fact, what business is it of anyone else’s; period! Unless you talk about your personal life with others, your personal life is none of somebody’s business.

Exactly.

The whole of society is built on debt that assumes men of the lower classes will work and suffer for nothing in return to maintain society.

MGTOW shows men how to win by walking away.

[KevinStylesParticipant 2580]

The unfortunate truth is that young people today will wait longer and longer to leave the nest because opportunities for financial independence are fewer and fewer. One more reason not to have children, they won’t ever f~~~ing leave. lol.

Absolute shameing tactic.

If a women lived at her Dads, would she be shamed?

Whats the difference empowered girls?
