Girls, at what age do you expect guys to leave their parents house?

[Anonymous]

I notice a map of Europe of people who still live with parents. I realized it was both economic and also cultural differences as Scandinavians place higher emphasis on independence. At what age do girls think guys should be sustaining themselves? Just curious on girls perspective since I always hear complaints about “Mama’s boys”

Well, it's easy to leave your parents' house when you have a stable job and rent doesn't take all of your salary. So, in most cases it's financial problem. Also, richer countries tend to make people leave their parent's home sooner.
I don't think there's a specific age for it. However, living with your parents when you're in your 40's is a little bit odd. Unless you're unemployed, taking care of your parents or you have a disability.

I guess in their 30s if they are single but it doesn't matter a ton. Definitely whenever they get married though. But if a guy is single then I don't see why he wouldn't want to save more money, there's really no reason not to.

From the perspective of woman, does a man’s ability to be financially independent matter? (Of course thats not all that matters, but I want to see other gender perspective)

[LazerBean]

I'm speaking specifically from the perspective of a woman who wanted to be a traditional wife/mother. For me it was important that the man I married could support himself financially, and was headed in the direction where he would be able to support a whole family. Of course I would work if I needed to, but it was very important to me that I would be able to at the very least raise our children at home instead of from a daycare.

Your adult at 18 might take a few more years before you can get a job or higher education, that gives you the means to be on your own. I was 20, if you don't count the military service as being of on my own. I would count a barrack as my home after all.

Many old geezers count even 25 as a child/baby goat. My mum won’t let me go or get a job.

Your old enough to not listen to your mother. I never asked my mother about permission to move out. I just got myself an apartment and she couldn't say a thing.

My mum called the pigs to search the whole town when I went out on a midnight stroll. I was 18. The pigs seem to hate me. I was committing no crimes. I just am disabled and don’t have enough money. I guess that is because I lived at the time in the United States of Amerikkka.

I still live in the house I grew up in. The only difference between me and some guy living with his parents is that my grandparents passed away and left the house to me.

I left at 16 but back home for last few years saving for my own home

Did you gain good experience of self reliance?

[Luckycharms12]

Yes there is a lot of good to be gained. Also lots of stress and worrying

Between 18- 25
