This is definitely the prototype I am seeing. This is my brother absolutely. He also lived at home until he was married and his mother did things for him. And also told him how great he was. So even now he thinks he is some great catch even though he doesn't have a job, is overweight, and plays video games all day.

As for how he got married.. he lied. Maybe he even lied to himself. I have never been friendly with his wife because I didn't want to betray him but giving up the truth. But I also truly thought for a while he might have changed.

But many of my friends I think were just so pushed to get married to ANYONE.. they either didn't see it or hoped it wouldn't happen to them. Marriage itself has become such a necessary thing to be "successful" that people just cave.

Of course I am not saying there aren't great guys out there but they are in the very very small minority.
