They don't cook for themselves, they don't do their own laundry, they've never had to regularly pay their own bills or do house work.

This is a HUGE issue when you're dating someone who actually wants to have an adult relationship. From the woman's perspective. You hook up with these kind of guys, then they move in with you and basically expect you to do all the shit for them their mother did. And that's not cool.

I understand the financial benefits of being able to save money at home (though in my experience most people don't save more, they just spend more cause they can). But I think there's some life experience there that at least for me I think is very important.

That is a reflection of their parents parenting style. I live with my parents do all the above except cooking meals. If the situation forces me to learn to cook a meal besides a sandwich - i will.
