Women aren't expected to live alone or be able to afford to fund a family. And I don't know of any guys who cares if a girl has room mates or still live with her parents. I might argue a girl that lives with her mom and dad and has a good relationship with them is more likely to be wife material.


For men its just age dependent. At a certain age still living with parents or room mates is kind of looked down upon. But at the same time 'struggling' financially because you live alone ain't great either. In my experience a lot of girls kind of expect guys to be financially stable/independent. Especially when he's in his 30s.


I was single/dating casually into my early 30s. Some of the girls I dated/hooked up with were 18-24. They come over to a guys house that's over 30. They kind of expect a nice truck in the drive-way and a nice/fully furnished home that I live alone in. It wasn't impressive to them. It was normal and expected. They wouldn't have cared if I'd have had a nice apartment either. But a nice home is a status symbol for a single brah.

If I met a girl in her 30s, who was living at home and broke, red flags would be going off.

Yeah that's not how it works in real life though. Women try to men in all the time. If she likes you and knows she'll save 50% on bills she'll definitely try convincing you to move in with her.

Any guy who gets women knows this.

dumb thread.

your living situation only matters to women if you don't have a reason for it. doesn't even have to be a good reason. I dated 2 girls for 3-4 years each, renting a room out of a friends house in the more detached parts of San Diego, while said friend's mom lived there.

Now dating another while I live with 2 roommates who are 2 of my best friends. Is it ideal? definitely not. but it is what it is, and it isn't always terrible, nor is it an immediate dealbreaker for many women, especially in this economy lol.

For women, roommates is by far a better situation than living with parents but if she's into you pretty much anything goes.

For savings, living at home is better. but as stated by some in this thread, many don't actually save that money, but spend it elsewhere they might not have been able to if they were renting. vacations, material goods, drugs/alcohol, etc.

this stigmatising living with parents is just lol

lots of asians do that and they're the highest earning race in USA. heck, i know an asian banker who lives with his parents while renting out his 1.5m property in the city and he's on the road to financial freedom faster than i will ever be

i wish i could retire early

lmao thats just your bias opinion because you are a poorcel living with roomates as a grown ass man. Lmao land of the free

is it ideal? definitely not.
