Are there any girls, women out there that overlook the fact a guy lives with his parents but appreciate the fact he at least has a car and a job at least? He only lives with his parents because he is unable to afford living on his own yet, he does his own laundry and cleans his room, does household chores and yard work, etc. But what if the guy is past a certain age, like over 25? I'm 23 and I still love with my parents and very likely will be for a couple of more years. I wouldn't want to have to put my dating life/sex life on hold because of this since I'm not getting any younger

Honey, ANYTHING is possible.
23 is still VERY young - do not feel you have to apologize to anyone for your living situation. It will only be a problem if you make it a problem.

My brother has lived with our Mother for years and continued to have a dating life and had a child as well and never married the child's Mother or lived with her.
So yes it is possible if you want it to be possible.
You may be fine. If you're living with them for school, or having trouble getting things in order to find places to move, you're fine.
It's not like you're a mooch or a bum. You may live with them, but you aren't dependent.
I am exactly like you, just a girl. I am 23, and still at home. I have my own money, buy my own food, do my own laundry. But I live with them.
Though I don't drive. My eye doc says given my poor vision, I may not be able to get a license. So, I was never in a rush to learn in HS due to that. So, my parents drive me. But I got tired of having that defeatist outlook. So, I am learning to drive now.
And I would like to get my own apartment while I go to school. But I don't have money for that yet.And I don't have a dating life, or plan to, as I live in a small rural area, so pickin's are slim. So, that's off the table for now.
So, you're good. I advise--out of respect--not bringing girls' to your parents' house for sex. But you can still get it. Go to her place, or a hotel, etc. A guy I know of lives at him near 30, and he has a 19 year-old girlfriend.

Yes, I do think women look at men at a certain age who still live with their parents or roomates as a loser. You're only 23, so you haven't reached that level yet. I'm assuming you're fresh out of college or just started working. Now if you're 33 and still living with your parents, I think that's a red flag for a lot of people. And this applies to women as well.
Do you have a plan and an actual timeline (12 months...18 months, etc) for getting out and living your own life as an independent adult? Are you saving for the future?

Yeah, that was fine in high school and college, but it wears off its charm (except for a change of pace) in time. I'm not saying only get down in the bedroom, but it has its place, especially for the cuddling / sleeping together afterwards.
In this economy and at his age it might not be a big deal, but having an exit strategy, would be a good thing.
