This article is so full of stupid it hurts. Yes, there are vices and bad habits you can fall into when you first live on your own. This does not mean you should live in your mom's basement in order to hide from the temptation of those vices. Growing up is about learning to avoid those vices through will power and strength of character not by removing the opportunity for those vices all together. Will power that is never tested is not will power at all. Living in your parent's house prevents opportunity for those vices because you are not truly your own person yet. You are still beholden to the rules and structure of your childhood. You don't throw a big raging party because your mom will yell at you. That's not the point. The point is to learn to not throw big raging parties because you have learned that throwing big raging parties is not what will make you happy in the long run. If you avoid the lesson you will never learn the lesson. Or worse... you have to learn these lessons as a newly wed that is trying to start their new life. Bad idea. You got married before you truly grew up. These truths have been know since before the modern era. Even in the dark ages we knew that 'Journeyman' was an important step between apprentice and tradesman or master. I am not familiar with this Roosh person but they do not seem qualified to be giving advice on how to be a man or a Christian. You can not hide from temptation; it will always find you eventually. One must learn to resist the call of temptation when it is loudest and yelling in your ear. Roosh is effectively saying "I struck out as on my own and learned these hard lessons." It seems like he is genuinely trying to help others but he does not realize that his advice will in fact prevent others from actually learning the lesson. You cannot just be told these things and have the answers on a silver platter. These lessons are only truly learned when you come to the answer on your own.
