Would you date someone who lives in a mobile home?

[Toad-1]

Like is that a possible deal breaker for you?

[Paris13]

My family and I lived in a Fancy Pants one, hun, on a Cellar on Big Acres of Land.. Mom and Dad still Live there and it Looks like a Palace compared to some other Peoples' houses, and Easier to Maintain as well.
My other Sister has had a few Beauties, Being Married to a Man who Always makes Sure that Every one of them is Put on a Piece of Land and Looks like Something from Better Homes and Gardens.
The newer Mobile Homes and Modular s Today and each Year, dear, get Bigger and Better in High Maintenance Taste, no Waste.
Depending on How One Keeps it Up, is Yes... Deal Breaker. You can either Live in a Dog House or a Doll House. xx

*The above One looks like a Nice Single Wide, not a Double Wide. xx

[Justacatlady]

That would be a deal breaker for me. I grew up in a trailer park and hate them more than anything really. Dilapidated pieces of shit. Trailers are worthless! They are considered vehicles so you can not add equity to them, they are made from super cheap materials so expect lots and lots of repairs. We had a tub fall through the floor one time and another the pipes froze and exploded causing sewage to come back up into the house which seeped into my bedroom. 🤢 You can hear everything in one so expect no privacy.
For what they cost it makes no sense so that would make me wonder why a person would want one.

[TheLuckyPizzaDog]

It's not that uncommon in some parts of the south to see really nice ones. My friends dad has a doublewide with the most impressive kitchen/living room set up. And a pool in the backyard. I've been in houses that were worse off compared to that doublewide.

That being said, I've also been through some of the skeeviest communites of mobile homes. But ultimately, probably not. Well I mean, if he was from a bad community and was reflected upon him then probably yeah, but that's more of a "him" problem not the mobile home itself.

[Account]

No, I actually consider that super cool ><

... Is there a certain stigma that comes along with it? I do not live in America so I have no clue. I am just surprised by some of the answers.
Anyway, it wouldn't bother me at all.

[Toad-1]

Yeah some people think mobile home = cheap or poor

[Account]

So what's wrong with being poor or saving money for something?
Anyway... I even like the idea of living like that. I have no issue. It's just a place like any other.

[TripleAce]

Yea why not, super chill

But at the end of the day, we could decide to stay or leave it... so no biggie as long as the relationship works... who really cares where you are, cause anywhere with her feels like home

[cavmanier]

Lol yeah. I think they're often nicer than apartments. Every mobile home after 1976 meets the same HUD building standards as stick built homes. If you actually have one in LA, that's pretty good. The lot rents here (bay area) are less than half the price of a very cheap apartment, and neighbor toilet flushing can't be heard in their master bedrooms. There's even rent control here due to the Democrats.

[OlderAndWiser]

It depends on the explanation. If this is part of her family heritage, probably not. If this is temporary quarters and she normally lives in a nicer home. . . sure!

[America1st]

I don't know why it wouldn't be okay. I guess if you wanted a yard it would be an issue. I've been in some that were large and beautiful homes. Inside, you hardly know you are not in a house. Also, with how much a home costs, at least where I'm at, buying a mobile home allows some who can't afford a $500,000+ house.

[ManOfSilence]

One of the reasons people live there is because it's cheap. The average rent there is 300-400. Very popular for college students, but also those with disabilities, or even a mental impairment like agoraphobia. Depends on the situation really. I'd say yes to a University student.

[randomuser94]

I hate the stigma of people who live in homes likes this. Some people are comfortable enjoying life and not stressing over a crazy job. some people are happy to own a nice home without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of 25 years. some people are happy with what they have.

[oboeyoudidnt]

I would as long as it wasn't his permanent living situation

[Toad-1]

What if it was?

[oboeyoudidnt]

I couldn't raise kids in there with him. Unless he's working to improve his situation I'm out

[Toad-1]

Are you planning on being a stay at home mom?

[oboeyoudidnt]

Nope. I do intend to take a year off if possible because recovery time from birth (my family is known for complications) and the job I'm training for is kinda a yearly position.
I want the guy I'm with to have a desire to provide better for his family. I know I'd be striving to do that. If he's not our future is bleak

[oboeyoudidnt]

by the way I used to live in those with my family as a child before we moved. With 3 kids and pets it's simply not enough space, no matter how much you dazzle it

[oboeyoudidnt]

Also why did you ask if I was planning to be a stay at home mom?
In the context of my answer it doesn't particularly matter in my opinion.

[Toad-1]

I just want to know if you'd put in as much effort as you demand from him

[oboeyoudidnt]

Yes. And it's not even he has to provide everything and we have to have a house right away. I don't expect that from him.
What I expect is him to not settle with only having a trailer and work just as hard as I will to have s proper home for the family. Like I was saying you can't have a big family like I (and my current bf) want in a trailer. If you do it's not good for the child.

I'll do the journey of a relationship with him if he's motivated to aim for bigger things basically. I do want a guy who has the ability to support us in case things go sour (I get fired for getting pregnant which happens to a lot of people in the field I want) But I also will return the favor and try to make an income that supports the fam if he loses his job.

[EmpatheticLady]

I was really hoping this would say, "Would you date someone who lives in a pineapple under the sea?" when I first saw the preview of the question.

Disappointed. :P

[amandapanda3]

I would only be able to deal with it if it was temporary and I felt confident that if our relationship were to move forward we would be able to be financially stable and afford a real home.

[JacquelineBuan]

my best friend grew up in a mobile home and I'd visit her every Friday. That being said, I'm totally indifferent to the idea of being with someone who lives in a mobile home. Couldn't care less.

[ryanontario]

I haven't meet anyone who lived in a mobile home , I don't know if the mobile home be that much of an issue , more the neighbours might be. those sort of places , they tend to be noisy

[PrincessPie]

Yes :) if i get on well with the person i'm not going to rule a relationship out just because of there home.. thats shallow and silly i think..

[vishna]

Yea-done it before. Not a big deal. The worst guy I dated, he was the most wealthy. Money means nothing, it's about how he treats you.

[Neverrrmore]

If it's a roof that he is paying for over his head then I don't see why not. Especially if I were younger.

[mooky06]

It's not a big deal. At least he is living someone where it's affordable. I rather him there and not somewhere he doesn't want to be

[fauchelevent]

I think that if it was temporary, it'd be fine. I don't think I'd want to raise a family in one of them.

[dragonfly6516]

We have plans to put a mobile home on some land and live in that because more room for less money!

[AynonOMouse]

Smart and logical.

[Zendrya]

of course I would. I've lived in mobile homes. There is nothing wrong with it

[jayjay16]

if it big enough for a family with friendly neighbors then why not

[AynonOMouse]

Mobile homes aren't anything like what people used to refer to as "trailers"

Many mobile homes I have seen are way nicer inside than a house that costs 4 to 5 times as much.

[AynonOMouse]

The best thing is if you can get a plot that used to have a regular house that burnt down or was destroyed, so the utilities are already on the lot. Then just buy a foundation to attach the mobile home to and it becomes permanent.

[Frankie21]

Mobile homes have stigmas, but sometimes life takes you where it takes you and houses/apartments are expensive. If they keep clean and work hard it should be okay. Up to you though. Not a deal breaker for me

[BuchitaBuchys]

It saves money. I don't see what's so bad about it. Yes I would
