I tried to acknowledge that by pointing out that it was an anecdote. My point was mostly that it is condescending and short sighted to think that young people’s decision about where to live boils down to pride.
- bsder 6y ago> My point was mostly that it is condescending and short sighted to think that young people’s decision about where to live boils down to pride And I would point out that it completely ignores reality to think that it doesn't. For better or worse in the US, a single male living with his parents at age 25 or above will generally be regarded as a "failure". You can claim otherwise, but the dating pool disagrees with you strongly. However, I will concede that your situation (under 30 with a child but still in a place like the Bay Area) was not really what I was thinking about. That's kind of a minority for most high tech/high-COL areas which are renowned for having a highly skewed male/female ratio.
