HE lives with mom, not other way around.
HE has no car.
HE plays a lot of video games.
HE is 47 and lets his 80-year old mom cook and do his laundry.
HE is a waste of your time.
There are more self-sufficient fish in the sea. Unless you want to be his new mommy, keep it moving!

I just thought about it after flipping the genders and I couldn't imagine having any interest in the woman version of this guy. Really drove home the point in my mind. I'm not sure how anyone would want to give much thought to volunteering to get into this situation.

Shudder

That sounds very strange. I couldn't wait to get my own place, worked and saved starting at my college graduation, moved out on my own 12 months later.

It's not my place to criticize other people's morals and you didn't state how many dates you've had or whether mommy's house was your first date, but IMO too soon.

It's not never married that bothers me, it's his living like a 19 year old. Mommy cooks and washes while he hits the games.

Just one comment, I know one person who was living with his elderly mother because she needed his assistance. That makes sense to me, but your situation sounds to me like it's her taking care of her boy.

There are many people who BY CHOICE never get married and are very happy with that. There are people that date, have SO, even live together and still never get married. Living single is how they live their most meaningful and fulfilling lives.
Other single people won’t marry just for the sake of marrying. They have standards. That doesn’t make them “too picky” - it makes them wise.
And there are people who have practical concerns: they simply do not want the financial or legal entanglements that marriage entails.
What's wrong with that?

Marriage is waning in popularity in contemporary culture. You will encounter more and more people who are single and happy!
Bingo! Lack of marriage does not a loser make.

I'm surprised (not even slightly) that this thread seems designed solely to ridicule a man who defies societal expectations. Because surely had we all said the OP should grab this tall hunk of handsomeness she would have, so it's really about wanting us to vote and all.

My sarcasm is a little out of control today, but this crap gets old. Women don't like guys who live with mom, but apparently they do like pro athletes. The things I learn here.

At least if OP wants to get away all she has to do is drive faster than he can run. I hope he doesn't get hurt biting her tires!

If a guy or gal is 47 years old and living at home with mommy and/or daddy, unless it's culturally indicated or situational to care provision, there is a looming issue of lack of independence. Heck, I expect to see that in older teenagers or very young adults; past that age, I see adjustment and maturity issues. Grow up and move out and take care of yourself. Let your parent(s) have his/her life back.

What about a pro athlete who lives with mom, is he still considered "AWESOME?"
