someg Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I am 25 living at home with parents because I have my own business and I don't make enough money to move out. I am very broke. I am curious how would women feel about this? Is this a big negative?
portcitykitty Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Times are tough, and I can empathize with you and your situation. I wouldn't judge a guy if he were in that predicament. As long as the guy himself was a great person and I liked him for who he is, I wouldn't knock him if he were in a situation like that. But I'll admit I'm a big softie and a very understanding person! I'm in a similar situation myself...34 and still living with the 'rents! I have a dud job and can't afford to move out...it's hard finding a good job and supporting yourself these days, so thank God I have the security of my parents!
LovieDove24 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Well I am 24, living with my Aunt and am still dating. But I must say that I don't anticipate meeting the love of my life while I am in these conditions. I am of the belief that what you want in a partner, you should be yourself. And since I am looking for an independent man, I'm going to probably have to wait until I'm an independent woman to have a real relationship materialize.

If part of your goals means making sacrifices now then that's ok This is far better than getting yourself into a lifetime worth of debt
SoulSearch_CO Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 As long as there was some kind of plan and timeline to get out, no - I wouldn't hold it against him. I was faced with the possibility of having to move back in with my mother at the age of 28 when I got divorced because it would have made things financially easier. I didn't end up doing it, but can certainly understand why people DO.
Els Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 If he were really trying and making concrete plans to do something, cool. If he's just sitting around in the basement all day watching TV, I believe most women wouldn't take a man like that.
Timmers Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 ^ I concur with Elswyth. It's really about what you're doing while in the situation that matters.
