I am almost 30, almost done with my masters degree, work full time and am very successful. I am single, decent looking and straight. I also still live at home with my parents and other adult sibling whom are around the same age as myself. I don't plan on moving out until I either get married or get a job too far away to commute. My parents love having us still live at home and would never take rent money from their own children. I have also never had a girlfriend or even experienced my first kiss. Yes, I am a virgin (duh!) and intend to be until marriage. I am very involved with my community and I am a kind-hearted person. But for some reason, my living arrangements and my lack of relationship experience is a turn-off to women when that topic comes up...which inevitably always does. Why?????? Are they simply jealous of my "innocence," lack of responsibilities or the wise choices I have made in life? What do you think is the reason????????????? I think it is likely to be jealousy.

LOL, its kinda cute that you actually think its a jealousy thing. The reason that women are weary of you is because they look at you as a juvenile at 30 years old. Lets re-examine the facts:

1) You're 30.
2) You still live at home with Mommy (not that its a bad thing, but you don't have a good reason for why you haven't flown the nest, i.e., Mom has been sick and you're taking care of her, etc.: women are in competition with moms b/c they compete for the guy in question's attention and affection).
3) You haven't had a physical experience with a woman. Which means you might not be able or willing to commit.

I wouldn't call you a pathetic loser: I'm sure you're a great guy. The problem is, women look at you as though you're too co-dependent, and women these days have enough to worry about, minus some guy that might be too needy or ignorant about real-world stuff, like mortgages, bills, and other big-boy stuff. Seeing is believing for most women, and you need to get out on your own and experience life. Women need to see that you're an independent person.

Well I can tell you right now that they are not intimidated but really find the fact that you are 30 and living at home a major turn off. Your an adult, and believe it or not you are moving toward being a middle aged adult. Woman want someone who is independent and is able to stand on there own. I think it's awesome you are going for your masters, but by you living at home, woman find that as a weakness, and that is a huge turn off. Also if your looking for a relationship, the last thing a woman wants is someone who lives at home and won't move out till they are married. I suggest that you look into getting your own place. I really don't care if it's close to your parents house, that's cool but not living with them. Also really you sound cocky, and that's a turn off, but really living at home at 30 is nothing to be cocky about. Hope this helps.

Most women want some sort of feeling of security that the man she marries will be responsible and keep a job, etc. Living at home at 30, by choice, shows a lack of responsibility. It would be different if you lived at home for financial reasons, but just to mooch off your parents is a turn off to most women. They will think that you'll do the same thing to them....mooch of them. Not an endearing characteristic.

I know where ur coming from man. most Women these days have lost their morals and dont want a family guy like. I know because im a virgin guy also, but im much more confident. If a girl gives a slightest hint that she doesnt respect me for my family values or my morals i will drop her like yesterdays garbage and i wont even think twice after. Man you need to start looking for women that have teh same morals as you.
Imagine meeting and marrying a female virgin or a girl that has changed her life around and is waiting for a guy like u?

Stop looking for people like most of the women that just answered your question. You dont need a zero you need a female hero lol.

i feel like i've seen this question and asnwered it before,hmmm maybe im wrong.

first off i'm glad youre in college trying to better your life, second women probably find its a turn off becuse your 30 years old STILL living with your parents, third, its good youre a virgin, shows youre not a manwhore just trying to get some as soon as possible, fourth if your parents are not taking any rent from you then dont continue to take advantage of them, when youre down with your master's degree make sure you reward them or let them know you appreciate their help in letting you stay for FREE. most parents kick their kids out at 18

This study clearly hits at romantic relationships and parental independence as a sign of social maturity.

While it centers on adolescents, it is basically answers your question ... women would naturally want someone who is independent and can stand on his own.

Having steered yourself from the usual developmental path will but naturally result in raised eyebrows and more distance from the opposite sex.

Believe me, they aren't jealous of your "innocence." They probably wonder why you are still living with mommy and daddy and have never had a girlfriend. Never had a kiss at nearly 30? Strange.

i will be honest... women don't want to date guys that live with their parents. A lack of responsibilities shows a lack of responsibility. It doesn't show you are responsible for not having to have these responsibilities

Most women want a man that is independent and responsible, you choosing to live at home shows neither.
