| Would you date a man if he was unemployed and living with his parents?
Posted: 11/5/2005 1:34:04 PM | This question is directed at women over twenty......would you date a man if he was unemployed and living with his parents?
I personally would not...got to show me some drive and ambition...dont need to make alot of money to make me happy...but you do need to be working. I don't expect a man to pay for everything...but I will be darned if I got to support him...lol...I have enough trouble paying my own bills!!!!
Anyone else care to share their opinion?  | |

Posted: 11/5/2005 1:45:05 PM | I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU, GIRL!
If I can go to work everyday, pay my bills, and support myself, why can't he? It is different if the guy is still in college, new college grad, recently divorced, former military, taking care of ailing parents, etc. These things I can accept, because they are only temporary.
Basically, he must have a GOOD reason for being unemployed and still living at home.
I can be understanding, if I have something to be understanding about. | |

Posted: 11/5/2005 2:16:46 PM | I totally agree with you Beauty...
when i first met my betterhalf... i was living at home at my mums raising my son... was i working... technicially no but yes... i was working a 24/7 job raising my son... betterhalf had his own place and working... he found a better job he thought he would be happy in... but he came up and ran straight into a brick wall... he had moved about an hour and half away... we both needed to sort out personal problems... so took time apart. kept in contact.. when i heard it was getting really hard for him.. i suggested he move into his parents place to get back onto his feet... he said no would never do that... although... when i did my annual contact this year.. he did such thing... hes working long hours plus he is studying... we have more phone contact now coz he is happy within himself that he is getting himself out of debt and saving to support himself for the transfer he is doing with universities as in the new year he will be back down here to have a better chance of getting into his desired course... he will be a fulltime student... does he expect to move in with me??? i have offered if he didnt want to live in the dorms.. he knows the offer is there.... but he doesnt think at this time he should do so..
so really the question goes for both genders... would a guy go out with a chick if she is unemployed and living at home???
i guess it all depends on the situation at the time.... | |

Posted: 11/5/2005 3:07:34 PM | | I dated a guy for 4 years who lived with his mother. And he is in his 40's. So everynight we saw each other it would have to be at my house. Then he lost his job and I tried to help him get other jobs but he had NO ambition. So I paid for everything too. Then he took a $7.00 hour job that I got him to train in an area so he could make decent money. (supposed to be for a year) He is still there 5 years later. But I dumped him a couple of years ago. So no way in hell will I go there again. | |

Posted: 11/5/2005 3:31:08 PM | Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt and it doesn't fit. Never again!!! Life's to damn short to play mommy to some underachieving jack knob, no matter how young and pretty he is.
Give me a man who has no problem working for his achievments anyday. I work my a$$ off and I have worked long and hard to earn the accomplishments I have, why the hell shouldn't he???
Just before I dumped my ex he was bragging to his friend about what a good job I had and how much money I was making. He actually told this dude that he should knock me up and marry me, I was 43 at the time. The next day I had his $hit packed by 7:00 a.m. woke his lazy a$$ up and dropped him off at the nearest shelter and never looked back. Message to ex...... GET OFF THE BOOZE AND GET A DAMN JOB!!!

Me too !! We were both 14 yrs old !!!
Seriously, I talked with a guy in his 50s, living with his mother because "thats the only way (he) could finish his degree, (2 years ago), and finish paying off his ex-wife (3 years ago). His profile said he wanted someone who "wasn't afraid of commitment." (cough cough). | |

Posted: 11/5/2005 5:56:55 PM | This question.............must be answered both .........YES and NO......
-NO if he has never been on his own
-No if he has a sketchy job history
-No if he doesn't have a car
-No if he lacks ambition
-Yes, if he moved back in for a temporary reason
-Yes, if he is doing something to better himself (to get a better job.. or to save money)
-Yes, if he has goals... he wants to achieve...
I relocated to cali and lived with my family to get aclimated.... save money... to be able to afford living in Cali!!!!! | |

Posted: 11/5/2005 6:34:01 PM | | i would, depending on the circumstances. for a while i had to move back in with my mom due to illness and unemployment. did that mean i was a loser? no. i was someone who had fallen on hard times and needed a bit of help. if the guy is a mooch with no prospects or ambition regardless of where he lived, i'm not interested. it should be about what type of person they are and what they are capable of, not necessarily their present circumstances. most people deserve a chance. | |

Posted: 11/5/2005 6:46:51 PM | I did once... never again, unless there's an end in site ((going back to school, soon to be done, etc)) ~~~ And I don't know if I'd even believe it if I was told that again... Man, I couldn't wait to get out of my parent's house, because I had to follow their rules, whether I was 18 or 30.... No thanks...I haven't lived within about 600 miles of my parents in 25 years... Too much of a good thing, I guess~ | |

Posted: 11/5/2005 8:15:33 PM | Hmmm...
I'm most likely going to have to stay with my folks for a bit after I get out of school... not looking forward to it, and I can't see it lasting for long... just till I find the work...
but I'm damn sure I won't be initiating any romance during that time... it would just be such a pain to explain... | |

Posted: 11/6/2005 1:47:59 AM | | OK, what if the guy is youngish, say 45-50 and owns his house outright, has no debt and doesn't work but has a small retirement? WTF is it that a person must work, is it like showing some kind of altruistic faith by self flagelation or what? Life is short, if you make enough to live what's the point in trading your hours for a handfull dimes? | |
