Is it a deal breaker to be 25 and still live with your parents? (Page 2)

Question

I’m a 25 year old girl. I have a degree. I have a good paying job. I’m very independent. I just still happen to live with my mom. Is that something that guys consider a deal breaker?

bubbatxman · Answer

I think you are being smart living with your parents and saving money. If you want to have sex, do it at his place, or when parents aren’t home.

6Its1Me9 · Answer

Not at all. If you have a degree and a good paying job then theirs nothing wrong with that. It does take away from some privacy though.

DakotaNorth · Answer

Not anymore. It's expensive out there! Yes I want my daughter to be independent but I won't penalize her. As for anyone wanting to date her, they should realize that jobs don't grow on trees anymore.

jf_corredor · Answer

I think it's normal if you help at home in some way like paying some things.. electricity, gas etc.
Maybe you are saving money to your own house or apartment and you don't want to waste money in a rental home or apartment

atypicalcatfisher · Answer

Nah you’re good. Because if it were me. Then the next step as your boyfriend would be your next home will be with me in our home. See

RiccoCosta · Answer

Not at all. Especially in states that have high cost of living expenses, there's nothing wrong with it.

I'm a 27 year old living with my widowed monther. I get free sympathy points.  Just phrase it in a way that will get sympathy. After if they like you when they find out the truth it won't matter.

Absolutely_Haram · Answer

Yes. If you live with your parents it means we can't get into your pussy so there's no reason for any guy to want to date you. Unless he's a homeless bum who's after your money.

shephardjhon · Answer

Housing is expensive compared to the times when Friends was made and besides you probably aslo take care of your mother as much as she takes care of you.

DaMack999 · Answer

No I love women who live with their parents for 2 reasons. I don't have to pay any bills and 2) She can go home after long weekend together. Not live with me. I also have mad respect for girls who are very nice to parents.

naitsirhc · Answer

Nah save all the money you can and put some into an investment account or something if you feel confident enough. Definitely not a deal breaker for me. And the rest of the stuff I was going to ask you already answered for others

iamconfusion111 · Answer

I don't think so. You've got a good paying job and you've got a degree, that should be enough.

alex_4rex · Answer

Well, it takes away a lot of privacy and such, wich definitely would be annoying for me

Danny_dan92 · Answer

NOPE, cause I unfortunately still live with my parents at 26 cause California is stupid expensive to live in. And I’m in severe debt

IssaOceanBoy · Answer

No, it's not unless you're lazy and aren't looking for work or education.

maddithebaddi · Answer

You are not independent. You live with your parents

natai · Answer

Not really but I think it depends on which country you live in

Juxtapose · Answer

Us guys are much more understanding and don't care about petty shit like that. Before anyone accuses me of living with my parents, I moved out almost 7 years ago.

Anonymous · Answer

For my culture u usually stay with parents until marriage. But even for other cultures shouldn't be an issue in my opinion since you are already independent

jean_A · Answer

I judge people on how they are, not where they live.

MikeHug · Answer

Not automatically, but if it's because of overbearing parents or not being willing to take that next step into adulthood, that could turn off a potential suitor. If you're caring for an older parent, that's much different.

JustCallMeLeon · Answer

If you are independent then its a bit weird yes. Guys will wonder why. However, sane people will understand.

AllThatSweetJazz · Answer

No. Nor do I care about education or job. Honestly, I think it can be quite good. Sets a very relaxed tone.

IntuitiveMuffin · Answer

Nope, not a big deal. Probably means you got your own money, so you won't be trying to mooch off me. Lol

iFarted · Answer

No, in San Francisco its not uncommon to meet peoplr in their early 30s living with parents. Its one hell of an expensive city to live in. A six-figure salary here is considered "low-income"

AdamED · Answer

Why? If because of helping parents then I understand. If you're disable and need help I also I understand, but if you're a loser and can't be independent then yes, it is a deal breaker.

artjames · Answer

Every circumstance is different. If it works for you and your mom, great. The only opinions that matter are the two of you. As a guy I hope that I would respect your situation. Whatever makes us happy !

mikeygolfs · Answer

Nope. As long as you work and take care of yourself.

MaosLeves · Answer

Can be for some guys, you just need to think you do you want to attract

Johnnie1000 · Answer

If you aren't taking care of your parents is kind of is.

Afrochick · Answer

Not with all the inflation going on lmao. It matters with men more though hahah

BlackGuyWhiteViola · Answer

Even if you were a guy it wouldn't be a deal breaker. The fact that you have a degree and we'll paying job shows that you have you life together. As far as just bringing someone over for the night, some guys wouldn't go for it.

pipeline78 · Answer

No not at all college degree no kids you are definitely in the date zone and a rare find a dude should be proud you have things going for you and your mother likes you enough to let you stay. No very many 25 year olds without baggage

JuarezTheCurious · Answer

In your situation, not a deal breaker for me. However, if you were not as independent as you described, then definitely yes.

qwertykeyboardirldub · Answer

No not for me personally and anyone who judges you based on where you live not really a good judge of character

IsoUser · Answer

Given the amount of debt you're probably in with student loans I don't see a problem with it

Kj_TheKing_kane · Answer

If he can't see past where you lay your head at night, regardless if it's with your parents or in a hotel, he doesn't deserve to lay his head next to yours

Guhle · Answer

Its not a deal breaker for me, there could be many reasons you still live at home I still live home because I am saving up to buy a house to live in with somebody I might like someday

beeljo · Answer

Not in and of itself. With today's economy, some people just can't afford to live by themselves.

Dude_1820 · Answer

How are you independent and why do you live with her

winterfox10 · Answer

No, not in and of itself at least. I would have to see your specific circumstances

Giggletr0n · Answer

Nah, not a deal breaker. I mean you have you life sorted so all is good :)

Anonymous · Answer

No every situation is different. Sometimes people live with their family for practice purposes because living expenses are outrageous.

Just as long as you have plans to move out on your own at some point and not stay complacent there is no shame.

HereIbe · Answer

I would not, but I would have to see you around your mother. Let's face it, a nice place to live is kind of hard to find, these days.

Trolldad · Answer

Yeah yeah, Americans hate living with their parents. Whatever. The rest of the world still values the family to some extent.

I'm an 18 y o guy and I'm about to start college.. And it was a deal breaker for a girl that I still live with my parents... maybe it's easier for a girl to find a guy. But if a guy lives with parents it's a problem

mayur955 · Answer

No it's not. I am 24 yo & still I stay with my parents but I have to live alone somewhere in case of my job.

forgedgod · Answer

Some people I guess so but not for me doesn't bother me at all as long as we can have time alone on a regular basis can you strengthen our relationship it's all good

TraceyRay33 · Answer

Depending on the parents situation and yours I think if it's a beneficial relationship and everybody respects each others privacy or out of necessity then no.

Slim57 · Answer

To me it is. My ex is still 29 living with her mom and prolly still will be in her thirties, life is hard and moving out wasn't easy but I got out at 23

Anonymous · Answer

No absolutely nothing wrong w that for a female, but for a male it’s a double-standard to no be ok.

Anonymous · Answer

Doesn't bother me in anyway, it can show that you have other priorities that i can appreciate.

dolemite68 · Answer

Lance1965 · Answer

Not at all. In this day and age a lot of people can't afford to live anywhere else.
