At what age would it give you a little pause or hesitation if you met a girl who still lived at home and never lived on her own and why? Curious about this as Ive experienced it before and it was NOT good.

  1. I’d like to know this as well, female here. I lived on my own before but haven’t for a while now just cause of rising house prices. Apartments in my area is averaging 400k….houses at 1m prob

  2. Mid30s or older, I mean I live in California where real estate/rent is super expensive so it’s a little harder for younger people to afford. So theres a bit more slack given on living situation.

    But still, even in expensive cities/states, at some point you should at least have had roommates or something!

  3. I won’t mind it but im way younger do date a 30+ woman maybe when im that old and sadly single

  6. It depends, details matter. Some people are fully independent, they work and pay bills, they just happen to live with their parents, because housing cost is crazy right now. Others depend on their parents for everything, income, bills, cooking, laundry. It’s like they never grew up.

  7. Most reasonable people are going to say it depends.

    I know a girl who is 34 and had lived with her late mom, her boyfriend and her grandparents. She didn’t go to college and attempted trade school, neither panned out but she’s got a good head on her shoulders and saves the pennies that her job gives her to barely survive. She’s beautiful, takes good care of herself and lives in reality, she understands moving in with someone else or being alone can be fiscally irresponsible. I couldn’t speak to her dwelling upkeep habits but she takes care of herself.

    All this to say I’d date her no problem because she understands the financial obligations and holds the maturity close to her age. If those factors differed then absolutely not.

  8. If she’s interesting and fun to be around the she’s interesting and fun to be around, end of story

    The only difference is that it’s harder/less-likely to be as interesting or fun to be around when you’ve been stuck at home your entire life

  9. As in roomates or loving with parents?

    I have in both cases because of the housing costs these days. I own a house so it would be a hard pass if they think there’s a fast track to moving in with me.

  10. Depends on her character. Is she a bum living off her parents and refuses any kind of adult responsibility or is it because it’s more economical to live at home?

  11. Dating is fine Just don’t get to attached to her unless you like hanging out with her parents because they will definitely be part of the deal.

  12. The logic of men on this is that at 30+ they are probably looking for a life partner and somebidy that would make the house a home. Living with your parents all your life sugests that you most likely lack those skills. Men at that age are looking for a partner, not somebody to babysit.

  13. Unlikely… No understanding or appreciation for all the things that cost and the difficulty of maintaining

  15. This depends entirely on circumstance.

    Are you financially independent but have lived with friends/siblings to save money on rent? No problem.

    Are you still living with your parents to help care for them as they age, but you are financially independent from them? Again, no problem. You’re a nice person.

    Are you living with others and so haven’t developed the level of responsibility for your life that most people over the age of 25 have. Hmm, could be an issue.

  16. Doubt it. I expect women in that age to have reached some level of independence and living alone and have her shit in order is basically the lowest level.

  17. I personally don’t have a problem with it. It’s not as unusual as people think. With raising rent, cost of living, cost of housing, inflation, I’m starting to see people who live with their parents as the norm. It also doesn’t help that a lot of people who are living on their own and renting their own place live paycheck to paycheck. The price for that kind of personal freedom is too steep.

  18. Probably not. Why. Because we will have a huge disparity in our lives. I moved out at 16. So I’ve gone past the halfway mark in my life when i have been self sufficient longer than i lived with my parents. Also I don’t want to bump into her parents the morning after its ok when your a teenager but now, its kinda weird as fuck.
