No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Depends on how much complaining the OP does. If he is always moping about girls then he has no right to tell the parents to butt out. Because he is burdening them with negativity - so they have the right to try make things better.
If he mentioned it once in six months in passing, now that's a different matter.
Yeah, how much OP actually complains about this is kind of a big factor here.
I run up against something similar with a few of my friends. They spend a lot of time complaining that they're bored and lonely, but no matter how many invites you throw their way, they never seem to make any effort to follow through with any plans. They say they're interested, but they never let you know when they're available, or they don't show up, or they come up with flimsy excuses, etc.
And there are times I really wish I could force some of them to just show up to something so they'd stop complaining.
Having a social life is hard, I get it, we all only have so much time, energy, money, etc. shit comes up, we have other obligations, we all like to just veg out on the couch sometimes
But if you're not willing to put forth even a little effort to follow through on plans, rearrange some things, inconvenience yourself a little, at some point you kind of lose the right to complain.
And it's not that you're not allowed to complain about it once in a while. But at some point, it's just not fair to the people you're complaining to if you're not actually making an effort to do something about it.
If the son has issue i'd say the good parenting would be to try to fix the son, not pass the burden to a random girl . Let's say OP is an incel constantly rambling about how feminism has ruined girl which prevent him from dating, i'd try to work on deconnecting him from internet and have social relation rather than find a girl that suit him.
