Home for me is not with my parents and when people suggest or ask - "do you go home often", it's not applicable. My parents moved home after i had moved out and as it were I didn't consider the previous home my home either.
Home is where the heart is
ps anyone moving home blaming the "current situation" is a lazy shíte I don't care what anyone says. Boy or girl.0 -

I'm just wondering do women find this a turn off? I was reading a thread in the ladies lounge where women were complaining over men renting and not having their own house, never mind living at home. :eek: Is it really such a bad thing?
To be fair, Davey, the opening post/thread topic was about one girl who was reticent to get involved with a man who didn't own his own house - but most, if not all, the replies were posters disagreeing with the views of the person mentioned in the opening post. So, to say 'where women were complaining over men renting and not having their own house' is a gross misrepresentation.
The 'living at home' discussion was a spin off from the original topic, and the comments relating to that varied quite a bit; whether the person living at home had never moved out, or had moved back home played a big part. As did the element of being able to stay over some times.
A few of your threads are about 'what women think' about this, that and the other. I always get the impression you've made up your mind we're (women) one big homogeneous blob of evil, and are seeking to have your shabby impression of us proven correct.
I apologise if that's not the case, and I hope it's not the case - but you do seem to expect the worst, and sometimes appear to have some kind of need to find things to criticise women for, followed by a need to find others to join in with your criticisms.
Please tell me I'm wrong, tell me you know we're not one big homogeneous blob of evil out for all we can get, while gleefully destroying men's confidence. Some of us are actually quite loveable and capable of caring about a person regardless of what they own, or how tall they are, or any of the other generic criticisms that are often scurrilously flung our direction.

Wow that's a big assumption to make. No I don't see women as a big homogenous blob. There was more than one woman on that thread who had issues with men living at home, and in fairness, far worse things have been said about women on AH than anything I've said.0 -

It wasn't an assumption - I didn't assume it was the case. I said it was the impression I got, and then I asked you to let me know if I was wrong (and said I hoped I was).
I'm not trying to have a go at you, please believe me when I say that, it's just that you do seem to be genuinely curious about what women think in respect of men they'd be attracted to and men they'd be turned off by, and I find myself wanting to make sure you aren't being influenced negatively, and incorrectly, by those 'far worse things that have been said about women'.
Lots of people's comments are tongue in cheek, taking the piss, old jokes etc. I wouldn't take half of them seriously.
There are, of course, a few barbed and bitter comments sometimes, but I'd ignore them as well. As I said, you do seem to genuinely want to know what women think about matters of the heart and men they'd be attracted to, so I think you're worth responding to, because I'd like you to get a balanced and honest response.
And, hopefully, give you a reason to keep the faith in us women.

I just found a spider running across my bed, thank god a woman wasn't here to see my reaction. Living at home or a mansion on my own she'd of been out the door
Back at home from living abroad but it won't be for much longer. No problem bringing a few women back every now again and they don't seem to mind up until the point of the next morning when they usually look like crap and ask where's the bathroom is and they realise they have to walk through the sitting room and meet half the family.
First 2 maybe 3 dates I'd never let a girl pay but after that if she doesn't start producing the euros to fill my belly then it's probably the end unless she's a 10/10 and I want the ride but even then she's pushing it.
Shopaholic you seem like a pretty cool chick if you don't mind me saying so! 0 -

Most men and women I know living at home have jobs and are saving for their mortgage as they see rent as dead money. A cop out if ever I heard one. It's very off-putting (except for the genuine cases) and the craziest part is they see absolutely nothing wrong with it.
I rent, and I see rent as dead money!!
That said, I rent off my parents....they own their own house and they own 4 apartments. I rent 1 apartment off them(with 2 others)and after 1 year of college I live here for free sweeeeeet 0 -

I'm not sure if I've understood this: they'll allow you to live there for free after one year, is that correct?
If so, that's not really too far removed from living at home, is it?0 -
