  • Women generally want men who have the ability to help support them and a potential family. If the man is still living with his parents, she might view this as a sign that he can't even support himself. She might then fear that she would end up supporting him instead of the other way around.
  • I think this has more to do with the age of the people involved. Sadly, some people ridicule others who live with their parents beyond what might be considered the 'normal' age to move out. It is not unknown for a 25-year old to be living with his or her parents, usually for an obvious reason (e.g., living at home while attending school). There may be extenuating circumstances, such as a child caring for a parent with a medical problem or providing additional income for the household. Then again, the parent and child may simply get along really well with one another and see no reason to change the situation. On the other hand, some people are incapable of supporting themselves, whatever thir age - they may just be unable to manage on their own. This could apply equally well to both child and parent. You really have to examine the circumstances on an individual basis, before you jump to any conclusions.
  • Women generally want men who have the ability to help support them and a potential family and if a guy still lives at home that usually is a sign of that not being possible also it means he hasent done the growing that he needs to to become a man or the man that we want him or we think he needs to be.
  • it's more about being an independant adult and cutting the apron strings. a woman wants to marry a man who is able to be the leader of their family ("family" not necessarily meaning kids). living in their parents house subjects them to certain rules set by the parents...spoken or unspoken. days of being dependant are over...it's time to grow up in every way...if that means renting a dingy place until you can get/buy something better, so be it. there's a lot of really great adventures being independant.
  • hm, providing for himself would be a good idea, because generally when a guy can provide for himself financially it's because he's mature enough to not splurge on his paychecks. maturity is kind of key in a relationship, which can lead to a family. [i don't necessarily see men as "my provider," i can take care of myself thanks] but if i get in a relationship with somebody and that relationship leads to marriage, i don't want to be raising kids the minute i get back from the honeymoon
  • We spend our entire lives trying to grow up and be successful and independent, so one day we can raise our own kids. We do NOT want to raise a boyfriend before that happens. We prefer our men grown-up when we meet them.
  • Who wants to live with their in-laws?
  • Living on your own brings with it experience to make it in this hard world. You "root,hog or die". The man that hasn't left his parent's home knows nothing of what it takes to survive "out there". ONLY experience of living through it gives you the toughness to make it. Women looking for a partner, need to know that he can pull his weight when the going gets tough, because its only a matter of time when it does.
