Good or Bad?

Would you not date someone who still lives with their parents? Why is this a turn off to you? I sometimes, don't really understand what is so discouraging about people who still live with their parents, does it show irresponsibility and dependence?

depends on the culture of the country. here in the Philippines, it's common for single adults to live with their parents until they get married .. but one must have a stable job capable enough to support a future family in order to impress the person he/ she is dating

I think it depends on the age of the person. I think if the person is over 30 and can afford to support themselves there is no reason they should be living with their parents. I think that ther are many things they could do to earn money and be out on their own. Some people will go directly from their parents house to marriage but I don't think they make the best spouses.

Seems like that would depend on why they stay with their parents - If it is to help them or take care of them - that is one thing. But if they are living with their parents because they are to irresponsible to live on their own - why add another child to your family - Buttt.... - if you are their soul mate that will make them responsible - then why not. I guess it is how you look at it. Me Personally - I like woman with their own stuff. But that is just me.

well if it to help them out, i see nothing wrong with it. but to live with them just because they can;t make it on thier own then something wrong. but younger people in thier 20's often can't afford to have thier own place.

Hi there, Well as many others have already said I think it would depend on why they are living with that parents in the first place. If they have moved back home or have had their parents moving with them because if ill health that is one thing. If on the other hand someone is still living with their family because they are unable to support themselves, that is another thing. If one is living with their parents because they are unable to support themselves I personally have no interest in that person except under rare ot exceptional circumstances. I say that so strongly, not necessarily because I'm a judgmental person but because I am not interested in a person who is willing to sit around and do nothing and be content with that. I will forgive anybody for just about any unusual circumstance they can find themselves in, but I also want to see that there are trying to better their situation. If the person is temporarily out of work or must move home for some other specific reason I can understand that. I have no tolerance for someone that wants to take advantage of their parents and live off of them rent free. For me personally that is the big difference between the one who is helping to care for his family and the one who is mooching off of it. That is just my 2ยข worth, happy Mylotting!
