People make fun of me because I live with my parents and don't want to find a girlfriend?

I divide my time between my parents (they are separated) and I'm not a basement dweller: I work, just started to work as a professor, and I support my mother financially. I wanted to become a priest but let it go as I didn't think it was the right way for me.
I'm still uninterested in women and worry more about academic pursuits, but some friends make fun of me and tell me they can introduce them to some girls to see and date, but I refuse. They laugh and tease me.
What can I do to make them stop?

It's healthy to have an interest in women in your mid-twenties, life is not all about your career. You're friends are just trying to help you grow as a person and gain some confidence.

I understand that, but I can't get myself to have an interest women.
Funnily enough the more my friends (and my mother too) nag me about it, the more I get motivated to stay on my own

^That's called 'self-isolation', it can be dangerous. It's important to socialize and go on dates. Having a sex life is also a part of maintaining your health and well-being.

Lmao come to Luxembourg where housing prices are like the most expensive in the world. Many guys my age here I know live at their parent's in the late 20s or 30s. Impossible to finance a place on your own. Even as a couple it can be tough to pay. Normal price here is like 1 million for a house (or even an appartment in the city area).
I advice you to get rid of your so called friends, if they dont respect your choices, they dont respect you.
