I'd date a woman who lived at home with their parents still O.o, Like other people have said it's more acceptable in other parts of the world. The U.S is weird in some ways, as in some ways it makes perfect since for some people to just live at home, there was even one poster who said all people should move out at 22 O.o weird.
Not a deal breaker if there is real good reasons for it. College, lack of funds, helping family with sickness, lack of job etc... I didn't move outa my folks house till I was on eve of turning 25. Had plenty of reasons why I waited that long until it was right for me.
If shes at home because she's lazy, lacks ambition, no shame or work ethic, absolutely not.
well if they are obviously mooching - that's a deal breaker on the spot. direct question to you - and it's my opinion - i saw some reviews who are willing to reason - but even with reason of what I read from your post - is it pretty much a dealbreaker whatever situation they are in. (saving money, helping out parents, sick parents, or any good reasons). assuming it gets to the intimate level in the relationship.
I think if he had plans to get his own place soon or if his parents would be moving out in the near future that would be fine, but I wouldn't want to date someone living in the basement with his parents upstairs, even if he owned the home. I think a guy living at home at that age is even harder to deal with than a woman. It is just hard for me to imagine getting really serious about a guy that lives at home like that. I don't want him hanging out at my place all the time either.
For me, absolutely not, UNLESS like Broken Crayola states above that he was moving out in the near, near future and this was only temporary. Otherwise, it's just not going to happen. I did it one time, and had to deal with the guy's mom every time I wanted to see him..not to mention she would get involved with every little arugment we had. I finally made him come to my place every time we hung out (he had no money to go out) but that got really old...I couldn't respect him when he was living at home with mommy cooking all his meals and doing his laundry while I worked hard to pay my own rent. It just got ridiculous. Plus his mom was one of those "protective of her baby boy" types that literally wanted him to live at home for the rest of his life. What mom actually wants that for their "kid"? I had to dump him. To the best of my knowledge, he is still living at home....No thank you. Never again.

I dated a woman once who lived on her own. She had qualities that did not appeal to me
Never again will I date a woman who lives on her own

Well, to each their own. In my experience, dating this person who did not have any ambition, reason or will to get his own place and dealing with his mom who constantly butted in, and he could never stand up to her or he'd lose his meal ticket were qualities that just did not appeal to me.

The bolded text was the problem, not living with the mother by itself.

Maybe it depends on where you live... because where I grew up it wasn't out of the ordinary at all for a person in their mid to late 20s and even mid 30s to live at home and nobody really cared. I mean, when a studio is $800-1000 a month and jobs barely pay over $13 an hour WITH a college degree it can be difficult to find a place and support yourself. I rented a house with 4 other people and my cut of rent and utilities was still around $700 a month, and I didn't even have the master suite. Plus I got to deal with people moving out in the middle of the night right before rent was due, people who simply didn't have the rent, people who jacked up our utilities etc etc.
I actually regret not staying at home during college. It would have made my life MUCH easier.
I have a good relationship with my parents and not being social adept and being introverted geek that I was, I stayed home through my college days back in early 2000. Saved myself and parents a lot of money and I don't regret it. Dorm or frat house life would have driven me insane.
My sister on the other hand.....
