I will expand the OP’s hypothesis a bit and say that I am seeing a trend of people of both sexes looking for a free handout.
Now that I have hit my forties it is surprising to me how many of my peers are still being subsidized by their parents, or living in homes owned by someone else rent-free, or not working/going to school for months/years and not concerned about it.
And yet they still find people to date them and support them. I woman I am facebook friends with met a forty year old guy who does not work and literally lives in his parents basement… and still married him and is now pregnant and living down there with him.
I confess that I do not understand that mindset at all.
