No, not if you had a goal and this was the reason you were living with them.

No, I tell all the 20somethings I know to live at home for as long as possible, cheaper to live there and good food! Also, when you move out they tend not to want you back...
If you live with your parents are unemployed and have no car, YES BIG RED FLAG.
If you live with your parents, have a job with a future or are working on getting a job with a future, and have some type of car (parents rarely charge expensive rent to their kids if anything, you should have a nice car, if not don't leave till you get one!) no need for a flag, your just waiting for the right time to get out, to a lady your financially preparing yourself for the world... ;)

There are so many today that think there is something wrong with this but I don't IF you are paying rent and helping pay utilities. In this day and age, it isn't easy to live on your own, especially for those who are in school. What is important is how much you do around the house to help with things (without always being told) and how much you help financially (and you don't live off them). Those things speak volumes about your character when you are living with your parents, not that you are a certain age and still live at home.

Just be wise and be sure and save money so you have a nice nest egg when your parents pass away but be fair with them in all ways you can while you are there and be respectful of their wishes and their rules.

Nope, living with your parents in your early to mid twenties is very common and on an increase. Now, if you were ten or twenty years older, that might be a problem.

It's expensive to live on your own at your age. If you tell people that you live with your parents, be prepared to tell them why and what you plan on doing in the future.

Hopefully, you help around your parents house and can acutally do housework. If not, learn. Thinking that housework is not your job because you have a penis is a huge red flag for women.

I do not think the Ladies would mind, if you still lived with your Parents, I think that would make you be more attractive to them, I am sure of it. I had seven Kids Five Girls and two boys, Five of my Girls got married after they finished their Majors, at the age of 24, and the boys, got married a little bit later than they did, at the age of 25 & 26, they all lived at Home, with my Husband and I, and when they each had a girlfriend/Boyfriend, they were amazed and impressed that they still Lived at home with their Parents. But I guess that it came out like that because we were a closed knit Family, and we showed our Kids the Love we had for each of them. So, do not be ashamed that you still Live with your Parents, if a Girl, likes you for what you are, I am sure she would not mind you still living with your Parents.

To be honest it depends on the guy and the girl.

For me as long as the guy had a reasonable reason to live with his parents... ie college. Well I would be fine with it.

BUT If it was cause he didn't want to grow up, he worked at McDonald's part time, and sat around and played video games all day.. Well then Yea then I would have a problem and would pry move along. Its all about perspective though.

That depends on what you are doing. I meant my husband when he was 23...he was in his senior year of college and 2 months from graduation though.

I agree, if you have goals and are doing what you can with what you have, and not just living with mom and dad because you mooch off of them, refuse to grow up, have horrid credit or what not, I think its okay.

We have a really big house, my mom on one side and me on the other, I'm 44....I love living with my mom, she is a great roommate and she can cook.
Now you being a male, well that may tend to have the ladies shy away from you....Its not like you can bring them home for an evening.

Nope. Only if you did nothing and leeched off them. If you live there, but still look after yourself and pull your own weight, that's cool. Hope you can do your own laundry.....

I am 23 and I wouldn't think it would be such a big deal.

not if you have a valid reason for doing that - to save money for college, to help care for your parents, and so on, but it might be hard to bring a girl home with you without your parents knowing that!!
