It would depend on the reason for still living at home.

Let me answer this. (Sorry, I´n not a lady) It depends on the culture, in some countries it´s not anormal that a man lives with his parents at 20, 25 or 30 years old. It would be ok if he helps his parents to pay the bills of the house, etc.

If he's taking care of his parents and/or has financial or medical obligations, would you fault him for that? If one of his parents has passed away and he's there to take care of the remaining one 'cause everyone knows elderly care costs an arm and a leg, is that his fault?
And how exactly does this have anything to do with whether he's a man? He may not be the type you'd be attracted to. His schedule may not coincide with yours. So just move on if that's the case. Why make such a big deal about it?

First off ... shall we give all the 30 year old women out there
still living with their parents a chance to answer?
I guess it depends on WHY he is living with them. If he is
taking care of him, that shows the sort of honor and backbone
that most families need and is sadly missing in many men.
If he is still living with them because he doesn't want to work,
then we've got a problem...

Depends on why he's living there .. sh*t happens .. and sometimes we all get thrown a curve ball and end up falling backwards in life instead of moving forward ... !
So I would be open-minded at first ... as long as he's trying to succeed in life and move on I don't see the problem ... if he's just flat out lazy and doesn't want to grow up .. then no I wouldn't date him or even consider him to be man enough to date ... !

Of course he is still a man, you have to really consider why he is living with his parents, there are ton's of reason's that men of the age of 30 are still living at home.If this man was not helping his parents out, wasnt helping with some of the bills, wasnt doing his own laundry etc etc etc than i would consider him a slob. but if he is doing his part and only living there until he is able to get out on his own I see nothing wrong with it, besides who ever made up the law that you had to move out of mommy and daddy's at the age of 18?

I dated a guy like that a few years ago - prior to my meeting him, he had been living on his own, had a bender with pot and booze and drove off the road one night. He was arrested and his license was revoked for 1 year - so he had to move home. He since cut down on drinking and didn't smoke pot anymore. I met him about 6 months later and we dated for 2 yrs. I think it depends on the situation. If he wants to live at home, you've got a problem. If he's got a reason for living at home, then it might be allright if it's temporary. In my case, I ended up breaking up with him - one of the main reasons was that I was afraid he might return to smoking pot and I couldn't handle that.

It depends on the situation. If he is gainfully employed he's fair...If he is unemployed...he's not being responsible...If he is living with his parents to help them out financially, that is nice of him to make that sort of sacrifice. I think it would be unfair to assume that every 30-year-old man that is living with his parents is less of a man. Different people have different reasons for continuing to live with their parents.

Look beyond the obvious. I have a friend over 50 who still lives with his parents in the apartment he grew up in - but it's gone co-op, he owns it, it's worth well into the six figures if not a million, and his parents really live with him.

NO! He's a pansy.
It's a red flag = stay away. This looser cannot provide for himself.
So yeah you might be a man anatomically, but no, you aren't a "REAL Man" if you live with Mom and Dad at 30.
You need 2-3 PhDs under your belt or you'd better be military.

If he is making enough money of his own he needs to get out. he can have his own life if he is still living with the parents. If he is not making enough get a new job or get a job grow up.
