Hell yes!
I’m an Indian, and in India, it’s common for people to live with their parents. We call it living in “joint families” It’s not a good option lol. My mum’s parents lived with us.. well, we lived with them until I was 13 and damn, things got a little out of hand. Even though I live in a big house, everyone needed privacy, so lol. Now I live with my grandparents. Well, I don’t necessarily live with them, but I spend most of my time with them and I’m gonna move into their house soon (just me)
and I’ll move out of their house once I turn 21(when I graduate college) bc I’ll be moving to some other country then. Preferably England or Germany. And yes, it is a dealbreaker if the guy still lived with his parents. I want a responsible guy who has his shit together. I want privacy. I know for a fact that things would get bitchy if he still lived with his parents bc I’ve experienced that. There were some really huge fights in my family, fights that could’ve been avoided. Thank god we moved to another house. I didn’t want my grandparents hurt, emotionally. Although I’m glad I’m moving in with them. Our houses are closer, so it’s not a problem. I can visit my parents whenever I want to.
So yeah, well, I’d be open to date him, but he has to move out once things get serious. Everyone needs privacy. Things would get bitchy, I’m sure. In my country, it’s rare for things to get out of hand because I been the norm for centuries, but in America and other country, things would defo not work out between us of he's not willing to move out as and when we get serious. I do not want fights to break our family
I so wish our culture was like this more tbh
Hahah, fr we don’t need to get appointments to visit our parents here! It’s a joke nvm lol
Update: Damn, now you’ve made me hungry! My stomach is growling. Literally. That chicken seems delicious :D
Is it true that your men are marrying 8 year olds over there? And that the age of consent is like 4?
@Aphrodite801 got a source?
Do you not clearly see the question mark? And that those are clearly questions?
@Aphrodite801 sounds like a pretty fucked up question to me tbh… hmm whats your agenda here?
@Aphrodite801 you had to have heard this from somewhere otherwise you wouldn’t have thought to ask this. Where did yiu hear it?
@Aphrodite801 woah wtf, eww no. It was like in the 18th century. Child Marriage is abolished in India
Ah ok cause lots of people say grown men are forcefully sleeping with 8 years olds over there now.
@Aphrodite801 who is saying this? What’s your source?
@Aphrodite801 wtf dude, eww you a troll or what?
You know what i heard? Users named aphrodite are made from cardboard. Yeah is she?
@Aphrodite801 anytime you wanna cite a source here by all means
@Aphrodite801 lmaooo says the girl who has "aphrodite" in her username. thanks for making me laugh. And also, I'd love to bring it to your attention that there are horny mfs exist all over the world. Indian men just come off as more creepy because they're huge in number. After all, India is the 2nd most populous country in the world. Anyway, ik that im not weak-minded bc if i am, I wouldn't be arguing with you. Guess you're just an insecure troll being a bitch to mask her own weak-minded ass. Either way, idgaf about you, have an awesome fucking day. peace
there are horny mfs all over the world*
@Aphrodite801 i wonder what a person trolling a 16 year old is.. a weak-minded insecure bitch or a loser? hard to choose just one
California is stupid expensive to live in. I do not blame you one bit. 😭 That's why I'm going to school so I can make the money to buy a house. Seems the only way to make enough to maintain a household and bills and everything. Unless you get really lucky and become a manager or supervisor at some place or something. Minimum wage really ain't shit though. I definitely would not care if my boyfriend still lived with his family if he couldn't afford it. It's just so HARD these days. 😭 Back in our parents youth you could get a job right out of highschool and live on your own fairly comfortably. Me and my parents were actually just having this conversation the other day.
You’re super kind Rachel lol
It really is expensive here. And forget trying to get some acreage along with it unless you go out to the desert.
You need to deliberately move to a cheaper state, that's what I did when I wanted to move out of home.
I make very little money but I can pay my rent no problem with no debt. I have Fiber Optic internet too and 1 roommate.
“ You need to deliberately move to a cheaper state,”
Just not a feasible option for me currently
“ But I can guarantee you living with your parents is going to filter out about 95% of your potential prospects immediately.”
Indeed which is a major reason im not actively dating yet
Well, my friends in Cali tell me that it would be a dealbreaker for most women if a guy your age still lives with his parents and has student loan debt.
They should be more forgiving of this in my opinion. But whatever

It's always been very important to me.
I've never been attracted to guys still living at home.
Despite how outrageous the housing prices are today? what do you think of my situation in the update?
i mean i always say i got more room to grow but i feel I've grown a hell of a lot more still then i ever have
If he contributes for the bills in the house and if he cooks and cleans up and doesn't expect things to get done for him, then I wouldn't mind.
But if he doesn't contribute, that is a huge red flag.
That chicken looks good😋
Wouldn't be a deal breaker unless it's because they don't want to work at all or think their parents should totally support them their whole lives... Everyone needs help sometimes.. Times are hard for everyone
It's not a deal breaker, when me and my boyfriend started dating, we where both 24 years old, and we both still lived with our parents due to the problem of high pricing ( we live close to venice so living on your own is impossible) also because we never wanted our parents to help us, so we decided to collaborate and get an appartment together, and it works just as fine since both of us work, we pay the rent together bills and so on.
So according to me, you absolutely deserve a chance, and once you're serious about a relationship you move out and in with her.
WHICH IS AN AMAZING FEELING I'm TELLING YA
* walks around naked *
Ohh from venice? Nice 😊
It depends on other factors. Living with family is a plus when they all respectfully get along well and work together to better each. it’s a part of my couture.
my brother continues to live with my mom with all his kids and wife. Pays the mortgage, holds a decent job.
when I met my ex husband at 27, him 26, he was living at home with a good paying job. We are just close to the family.
if the man/woman is not working, refuse to work (I heard from my mom... about her friend)... and leaching off the family... it’s a big red flag.
It doesn’t matter to me but I reckon age could have an impact. I would not expect for the guy to move out before I do and it’s ok if he’s living with his parents even if I have my own place. It’s only if he’s 30+ and doesn’t have a job and is problematic that it’s a red flag for me.
if he's 30+ and does have a job though its fine?
I think so. It depends for why he’s living at home. If he is one of those kids that blows 10k every month from bank of mum & dad then I would feel like me and him could never see eye to eye but if he is frugal enough and is not taking the piss, I am ok with that. Like once I dated this guy who is 34 now and he didn’t have a job and lived off his parents but he was super frugal and spent all his time reading. Found him a very interesting person to hang with and we hit it off quite well.
i mean I've said it often here already if the market was wayy more stable than it is i would have left by now
Yh I mean prices are crazy nowadays. I’m trying to save to move out again and it’s so expensive. :(
It doesn't bother me but id hope if we get serious we can take those steps together because i want independence and privacy and living with parents can make that difficult. Having a place of your own just gives you that sense of peace and solitude for yourself
Reasonable :)
I'm more flexible on it nowadays, though I personally expect it - however, I recognize it's not always possible.
What I expect more is to see a man who is able to take care of himself, his health, his life, and his money.
Those don't depend on the housing market. They depend on a person's own abilities.
Personally I think it depends on why he is there. If he were a man child and had a mommy dependency then hell no.
If because of issues surrounding the pandemic or if they are sick or whatever then I'd say it is fine if I were even trying to date guys for some reason.
If you're living with them to be there in their lives, help them out, or because you're still working towards buying a house, I think that's fine. I think it's weird when a 30 or 40 y/o man is living with his parents and not working. Just sort of squatting. Seems like a less productive or overly reliant person.
It depends on his situation, to be honest I have been lucky havinta career that's allowed me to be able to afford to get on the property ladder most my age are still stuck renting or at their parents.
if you read my update. what do you think?
The fact your trying and actually setting goals, means you wouldn't be ruled out based on your living situation.
well thanks. i appreciate it. i don't actively seek out dates or anything. but i always leave the option open if anyones interested
Relatable
Yummy chicken! If it were me, I think I would move. I can’t imagine living somewhere when I couldn’t have my own place by about the age of 24.
well its just not feasible at the moment unfortunately
I get that.
always kinda hoping the real estate market crashes and rent or home prices stabilize better
It’s sad housing can’t be more affordable.
yeah or we can get that UBI Andrew Yang talked about. a coool extra $1000 a month would go along well.
i'd move outta here so fast lol
That would be amazing
Where I live, a lot of grown people live with their parents (or their parents live with them). So, it's not unusual or a big deal to me.
You get it lol 😂
If life just hit them and they have to be at home for a while till things get better then thats fine but if they never left the nest and don't plan to then no im good. I be dammed if I deal with another man boy
What if he never left but does plan to?
If he plans to and i cam see he is actually putting in work and effort to become independent then its okay
does how extremely expensive the housing market and rent is matter to you too? if prices were a lot more stable i would've been outta here already
Lmao why are u comparing yourself to the guys I've dated. All I need to see is that you're trying , the guys im referring to have no plans what so ever to leave the nest and that is what I'm not going to accept
im not lol. im just saying the housing market has gotten wayy out of hand and so my original question is asking if women now take this into consideration if a guy still lives with his parents knowing this?
I don't mind as long as he doesn't expect me to ever go to his house.
Why not?
Depends on why? I still have to live with my parents but I'm still a kid soooo...
Read update
As long as it's not to take advantage of them or because they won't let you leave I think it's ok?
It depends on the reason. If he was employed and just saving money, I am fine with that.
If he has his mom bring him pb&j sandwiches with the crusts cut off and always gets chiggy nuggies for dinner, then no.
I still live with my mother and no, it's not only because the housing prices are high. It's much more complicated than that...
I would say it would depend on his age and also if he was working or not. I would expect him to have a job at least.
I moved out when I was 19. I managed, rented with friends for a bit and now I live on my own. It's doable. The independence is amazing
Indeed im sure it is
I don't know, kinda not sure how i would feel. It probably more on an individual basis how i would judge it.
But i want free fried chicken 😭
