Yes, I would. Living with parents is common where I live, it doesn't mean one is a parasite sucking blood from parents, it's more about convenience and we still pay our share of home expenses. We work, do stuff around the house and pay bills.
If you however mean to date a deadbeat guy that's all day lazing around while his mom feeds him and cleans his room, then hell no.
Depends why they there.
If they got a solid plan to get on with they life yeah
Yes because their circumstances might have prevented getting their own place they may have been made redundant, or needed to retrain so can't afford to have their own place.
I lived with my parents until I was 32 years old saving up for a house and had my house now for 2 years living alone. I personally don't mind because in the long run she could live with me and I understand how expensive it is having your own place.
that's wonderful, but i would save my money to buy a house after i get married. i expect the guy to pitch in a couple bucks as well, cause no way in hell am i bringing in anyone to live in my house that only i spent money on. are you okay with bringing in a woman to live in a house that only you paid for? seems like the gold diggers will be attached to you like glue.
@DianaWest Yes I'm fine with that and lol I'm on guard for gold diggers. You make a good point. Getting to know a woman carefully for along time before living together is crucial in my opinion.
@coachTanthony The reality might be that the guy on the right is paying the bills. That guy has the sort of skin a Union Framer or Carpenter has, he's probably a grandfather himself. The two on the left are the Pinnacle of Fucking Boomer and probably reverse Mortgaged their old home, Rented it out, and are now leeching off their son.
Nope. I need to know there can make it on their own.
What if it's just a mutual agreement with their parents though? They could live on their own but chose to live with their parents because they can live together fine, no issues and it just meant more spare cash by doing so for him and his parents as he pays half the bills, they pay half.
@Krewvinator I'm pretty sure that falls under "someone unable a to take care of themselves". And I'm not shaming or saying I agree with that. Just that I'd imagine most women think that way. Because I think most people would say " why live at home if you CAN afford to live on your own". Because most women probably look at as if. " how can he take care of me if he can't even take card of himself. And this is what I don't like about today's woman. Most have been brought up with this attitude that a guys only value is what he can provide for me. Not saying it isn't important it is. But it's like during the great recession. Many good guy lost lucrative jobs that they still haven't been able to replace income wise. Does that make them less of a man now? How bout if a woman marries and he gets a serious form of cancer. Does she leave him now that it'll probably decimate their finances.
People when they marry and whatnot seldom mean forever anymore.
@ChiTown33 I mean in this scenario you can take care of yourself, you choose to live with the parents and they chose you to live with them so everyone has cash freed up but they could support themselves. Like complete optional living.
@ChiTown33 it sucks but a lot of people nowadays care only about themselves, are extremely shallow and extremely selfish, women AND men and this is very unfortunate. men are no angels let me tell you. do you date chubby women? would you marry one? why not? is a woman's value her looks only? if a man wants a bombshell of a woman, he should expect to interact with a lot of women with high standards (money wise, and maybe even looks wise)
that being said, i don't think living on your own necessarily means you've made it in life. i would be much more impressed by a man, regardless fo whether or not he lived with his parents, if he had a good university education and on the path to a well paying job or career (i. e. at least 50,000-60,000 a year). even if he is not making this salary at the beginning, at least i know that he has drive and potential, and a good education. i only expect from men what i myself can offer. if my salary is 60,000, then i expect a prospective partner to make at least 50 thousand. some people who live on their own are proud of themselves for "making it in the real world," when in reality they only have a GED, are flipping burgers for minimum wage and living in a one-bedroom apartment that smells like cat piss. maybe the person living with their parents has a bachelors degree, a masters, and an entry-level job that could eventually increase their salary from 60,000 to 70,000 or even 80,000. also, maybe that person who still lives with their parents at 25 is saving their money for a house, future babies/family, or a trip around Europe. i would personally find this person to be much more accomplished than a person who "can make it on their own" on a few dollars above minimum wage in a one-bedroom apartment that they share with their friend or significant other.
@DianaWest You're right! A qoman's size and shape shouldn't matter that much to a guy. Her PERSONALITY is what really matters. It's not our fault if most thin and physically attractive women tend to have the best personalities as well ( much like women with men).
And you're right a lot of people arebunbelieablt selfish I agree wholeheartedly which is why I've all but quit dating.
And you're right the more schooling you have statistically the more you'll make at every stage of life. It's too bad Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Sheldon Adelson, and Bill Gates didn't see their education through the end. Imagine how successful they MIGHT have been.
I just hope you let every guy up front know your minimal expectations. You deserve that guy with a degree I'd hate to see some future potential billionaire hold you down.
@ChiTown33 lol. nice try. as if the average person is going to turn up like Bill Gates. the average person who drops out of high school or college is flipping burgers for minimum wage. and it's great, as i am thin and attractive, but find it amusing when men claim women who are thin and attractive have much better personalities than chubby women. how do you know? you have a lot fo dating experience with chubby women? that's just an excuse to hide how shallow you are. you don't want women to expect rich men, then you should not expect a thin and beautiful woman.
@DianaWest nice try hun. It's funny that someone still wet behind the ears would cite "experience". When I mentioned Bill Gates etc. I wasn't talking about typical I was talking about drive and character. But it doesn't surprise me you didn't get it. Your generation doesn't even know what it is. Andbi'm not running down education. As cookie cutter and plain join as it is it can earn you a decent income. So long as someone is willing to hire you. So long as the economy remains good. What I was talking about is character. A man with a good job will always be able to take care of his family so long as HD has that job. A guy with character will always find a way to take care of his family. That's the difference.
And as far as hefty not so aesthetically pleasing women go. Why is it so hard for you to believe there are attractive thin women with personalities. You knowbi think ot's funny. I think your gender has used the " I didn't want to go out with him because I didn't like his personality" excuse do long. You get angry when it's used back by guys. I'll date a hefty chicken. But if I see a thin woman with a better personify why choose the other with a bad personality? Much like you said with your what was it minimal 50k income for a guy deLbreaker. Girl with a little extra mass is going to just have to work a little harder to earn me.
@ChiTown33 talking about character now? i don't recall seeing that word anywhere in your previous response. Just something about how successful Bill Gates was even though he dropped out of college. Was i supposed to interpret that as you talking about his character? and you are 45. you should lower your expectations for women unless you are as rich as Bill Gates. as for discriminating my generation, i recall seeing your generation fucking like rabbits and getting high while sneaking out at midnight from mommy and daddy's house. don't pretend you were perfect 20 years ago. every individual is different, it does not matter what generation they belong to. back in the day, milking a cow may have been enough to get you through college. nowadays, we have to slave away at 3 minimum wage jobs just to survive, pay for our education, and still have to pay back 100,000 college debt. if you read my previous response, i did say that i admire people with drive, passions, and ambition, not lethargic people with no goals in life. I think it is also fair to expect to partner up with someone who is your equal. is it too much to ask for? if i become a lawyer, i certainly would not want to marry a janitor. maybe if a really loved him i would make an exception. but generally speaking, people are in relationships with their equals. and if i was making 90k a year, my minimum salary for a partner would be 50k. i would not want to marry a gold digger after all.
@DianaWest OK. No, I just described character or lack of it in my initial post. But as I said if you don't know what that is I wouldn't expect you to recognize it. I just laugh at you because at your young age you of course know everything already.
I could tell you I have no college degree and a 7 figure net worth but that's not the message I'm trying to send. Success isn't a a certain degree or dollar amount. I use the word character because it's pretty encompassing. I just laugh at your notion of what success is that's all and it shows why you women have such trouble finding good guys. You don't even understand what it is you're looking for.
@ChiTown33 lol, you're a millionaire. yeah right. every guy on gag is apparently a millionaire or billionaire. that's why they spend so much of their free time getting into arguments with paupers on the internet. you don't know anything about my character or work ethic, so don't comment on it.
@DianaWest and this is why you'll never be one. Your stupid a** doesn't realize mathematically how easy it is. I said I have a 7 figure net worth I didn't say I was a millionaire. Why? Because when you get to a million you realize how little it is really. It's a finite number just like any other number. And I'm just over a million. Not multi millions. Why would I brag about that? It's just 1 million. You do realize how common it is for someone to have a million net worth right? About 7%. Of households. 1 million isn't e enough considered rich anymore.
But good job dispelling any notion you were a gold digger by honing in on just that one bit of info I shared on my last post. Of all things it was my net worth lol. You really should stop posting you're burying yourself hun.
@ChiTown33 9,000,000. let's count the 0s to make it simple for you. six 0s and a 9, yes? 9 million equals millionaire. i was supposed to now guess that you have 1.2 million dollars? and "burying myself." lol. i don't really give a damn about your opinion. just here to pass time when i am bored. success is not just money or education, but it is a part of it. success is also how happy you are, how ambitious you are, how honest you are and whether you actually work hard for your money, how healthy you are, etc. i knew that already, didn't need you to explain something that a 6 year old understands. with your million net worth and all, i hope you marry a woman who is making minimum wage. since you are so virtuous and care so much about the other aspects of success. most people (men and women) think like me. they want their equals, not a person who is doing the bare minimum. if i was doing the bare minimum, the bare minimum is what i would expect from a partner. nothing wrong with someone who does the bare minimum, but it is not someone i see as a life partner. did that strike a nerve with you? just like you think thin, beautiful women have better personalities than chubby women, i think men who are earning above minimum wage also have better personalities. i know you think you know it all, but just because you are middle aged does not make it so. bye now. i have someone else to argue with.
@DianaWest we you're young. Maybe you'll learn. That's all we can hope for. Not just for you. But the people around you's sake.😁
Why what's wrong with that? In South Asia, we believe in a joint family and we still do live with our parents unless we've separate job locations. It doesn't mean we are a burden to them rather we do take care of our parents in their old age. We earn and we spend and let them depend on our spending if they want.
We've some responsibilities to our parents, right?
It would depend on why. Like are they taking care of their parent. Or is it a mutual living arrangement ( like their dad died and her mother's living on a fixed income so it benefits both them). Or something horrific put b them in an early debt and they're digging themselves out of it (obviously this is very case by case).
It depends on why. My wife and I both moved back in with our parents because we were saving money to buy a house.
At my age most likely not. But it would all depend on why he is living with his parents.
Yes, why not? And I know that this question is not for people that are 16. :D But if I would be let's say ten years older I wouldn't still see there any problem to get in serious relationship with some girl that lives with their parents.
Depends.
They’re Asian and live in Asia? That’s the norm. Yes.
They’re Westerners? Lazy? Unmotivated? Nope. Bye.
im newly 18 so yeah i don’t mind, how could i when i still do😂. but I would want them to have the same drive I do to save up and move out soon
It's a reminder that, the stigma of living with your parents, has always looked worse in men than in women
I mean, from what I've heard others say, it doesn't sound like a good idea, but who tf knows. Depends on the situation and the person, really
Yes absolutely, I’m not going to determine if someone’s dating material or not just because they still live with their parents.
Yes I would because they'd have tons of disposable income. With our combined leeching off of the older generation, we'd be unstoppable.
LOL.
well
i would
because im 15
but if i were older
i definitely would not
Yes. I don’t see a problem with it. Age also plays into that. If someone is over 25 and they don’t have a place of their own, that’s a red flag in my opinion unless they have a good reason.
Yes I would of I liked them. She just couldn't be out here waiting for me to say come through i got you. Lol she'll be waiting a long time. I need someone who can contribute.
