I have had my fill...can we discuss the differences? I realize younger men may look to their mother for guidance more often than a older man, but what makes a man a momma's boy?
Clue 1: Lives at home with his Mom.
Clue 2: Relies on his Mom for cooking, laundry, etc.
I will play devil's advocate. What if a man is helping a sick mother or father and LIVES with his parents? Also, for some ethnic groups many generations live under one roof. My grandfather lived with my mom and dad after my grandmother died. So there are some situations where a man may not be living on his own with his family. Especially, with this economy and lay offs.
A guy who's good to his mom is great. With a mama's boy, though, there's an element of codependency. Either the mother has a problem viewing and treating her son as an adult, or the son is still overly psychologically dependent on his mother. If it's both, then run.

Mama's boy has to have her approval for everything he does or he's very uncomfortable with himself.
Man who respects his mother is very comfortable with telling his mother whatever truth he needs to tell her whether she will approve or not.
This^^^ So true. If you have a problem they run to Mommy.
I admit, when I have had a bad day, or am making a decision I ask for my mom's input. I do make my own decisions, though. I do know, too, there have been many, many, times I should have listened to my mom.
In addition to those guys who still exhibit signs of dependency on their mother, look also for those who place his mother's preferences above those of his wife/girlfriend. Guys like this will guilt trip easily, give in to pressure, and often make decisions that will frustration the wife/girlfriend. At some point a man has to make his partner the top priority, not his mother.
