I have a friend whom I have known since 1980. He is my age, 56, and still lives at home with his parents. He is intelligent, good looking and has a good job. He constantly states he can't find a good woman. I think to myself "Who the hell wants to date someone who is your age and still living at home in your child-hood bedroom??" Seriously?
He also states he hates the weather in this state (WI) and wants to live somewhere warm. Back about 10 years ago I got sick of him complaining so I said "Why the heck don't you just move??" He said "Well, the jobs don't pay well in Florida where I want to be". Now his excuse is his parents are "getting on in age and he is afraid they will die if he leaves".
His FB status is constantly (when it isn't summer around here) "XX days till summer and warm weather". Constantly. It's like a broken record. LOL
He has no kids, no big bills, etc etc.
Anybody else know someone like this? LOL
Well... It's his life. He can live it the way he wants...
In some other cultures it's perfectly alright to live with parents. Even after getting married and having own kids...
Yes, it's his life. I totally agree. I just get frustrated with him saying he wants to move and get his own place and that he can't find a decent lady yet he keeps coming up with excuses. I don't say anything negative to him though.
I have wondered if he is gay. I would never ask him that. Wouldn't matter to me one way or the other
It's just very hard to offer him advice when he rejects every bit of advice you give him. LOL
Why are you frustrated, or care so much? Or want to know his sexual preferences?
Perhaps he complaints, but don't want any advice how to live his life. Actually " he rejects every bit of advice you give him." So, just don't.

I know, you can't help but wonder about his life when it's a friend who complains then does nothing...
Some people just complain, habitually, but don't want to change anything...
He seems to be unhappy mostly with the weather, but that's obviously not enough to make him move.
Wondering/insinuating that he is a gay is totally inappropriate for a friend. Obviously you're not that close of a friend, if you don't know.

Yeah, I recently had a falling out with a friend who's in a similar situation. She has a weirdly codependent relationship with her family (to the point where she feels responsibility for thing that aren't her issue,) she complains about it often, but she never does anything to change. I got sick of hearing about it.

Ok, #1. We have been Best Friends since 1980
#2. I did not "insinuate" he was gay. I said I often wonder but if doesn't Matter To Me If He Is. I have plenty of friends, gay and not gay.
#3. I simply asked if anyone else had a friend that does this.
I didn't come on here to have someone like you act like you know me or this relationship.
Good Grief.
