A man who lives with his parents?

Or even with a roommate. Would that be acceptable for you too date him? Why not?

I am 31 and live on my own, financially its difficult but I'm an adult.
If a man lives with his parents because its "easier" and "cheaper", doesn't need to be there, likes mommy doing his laundry and all in all sponges off of them (i.e. they make the meals, he just eats them, he buys toys like motorcycles and boats) then no I can't seeing myself dating someone like that.
If they are home because they are divorced and need to get back on their feet, or are taking care of a sick parent than that would be fine.
Roommates...I think its fine especially where I live, its got a high cost of living yet the salaries don't exactly equal the cost to live here.
I have friends that are divorced but they at least have a nice place (apt/home/condo) of their own--by themselves--as do I.
Red flags are all over the place!

A guy who's up to age 25 who has never moved out because he's going to school full time would be a different story. But again, I would not think about him twice if he was not at least working part time and paying his fair share. Working and staying at home giving them nothing but saving it all for his own toys would not be acceptable in my books.
Any guy who has moved home to care for an ailing parent must be commended- unless they are living off thier parent's income.
Having a roommate is ok in my books, as it is someone to share the cost with and perhaps get a bigger place than you could or want to afford on your own. My dad lives in a roomming house (he rents out a bedroom and has full access to the living/ dining/ bath/ kitchen/ laundry). He does this for two reasons, one- he likes having the company to talk to and two- it keeps his cost of living low so he can travel more. He does not have a high paying job, but has managed to be able to take month long vacations to places like Cuba and Mexico.
I guess the biggest thing for me is that the guy be working and self sufficient. Then you look at where the money goes. Does he save it or spend it?
