But not working...there is just no excuse imho unless in school or in disability (even then many still work).

I agree, that's why I said they're my brother's rules. I lived in LA for 4 years without a car and in another city for another 3 without a car. Entirely by choice. I could much faster get where I needed to go using public transit and my bicycle. (I was also a serious cyclist.) I never had any trouble dating during that time.
It's all about values too.
