How much of a turn off is it if a guy in my age group still lives at home?

I would leave California if I could too... But if moving away isn't an option, you can...

1. Reduce your expenses
2. Make more money

The first is often more difficult than the second. I went from making $24/hr in 2015 to $200/hr now. I far from the most ambitious person you'd meet. Which means you can certainly do it too!

Many ways to make more money. Even outside your 9-5. Food delivery, ebay selling, crypto trading, casino advantage play, etc.

Western women really are a lower quality.
Yup - I stay away/run from American, UK and Irish girls.
Romanian women... the only Eastern women I've learned to stay away from, had horrible experiences with 2 now.

Russian, Ukraine (the best all around IMHO) and Asian (except for Filipino.. run!) are the best from my expansive experience.

Some of the posters on here don't quite grasp where you are at.

So long as you are very active in life, productive and seeking to better yourself I don't see how this would be an issue. I'm going to assume that you staying home has allowed you to do other things with the money you'd otherwise be using for rent. In a situation like the one you are in, you should be saving up and investing as much as you can, hell I'd go as far to say that you should be working a bit more just to take advantage of this. You are still relatively young and so long as you are doing some of what I mentioned you are in a good spot.

With that said, you should consider yourself thankful that you have the living/financial situation you are currently in. Imagine being a guy in your mid to early twenties just out of college and into his career but yet having student loans, rent.....then a car payment, basic living essentials. It would literally be impossible to get ahead and you'd be forever stuck in that rat race. Now imagine being in this predicament and having to commute, possibly a couple hours or more per day, to some job you had little interest in.

On a side note, I would seriously consider moving to a new area, this would be good for personal development but also financially. There are some pretty major metro areas that have a very low cost of living (AZ, TX, etc.). I think that would be a better investment of your time and money than buying some RV.

True. Like for me I live at home because my parents moved back to FL and I didn't want to stay up north so I came along. My dad died in March. I live at home and it's just my mom and I so I bank money. The thing is I'm the only child so unless I get married and move out I'm better off staying here because I inherit the house and can sell it and would bank on it and could buy a smaller condo or something. It would be stupid for me single and buying or renting.
 

Do not be too easy. If you are too easy to get, she will not want you. If you are too easy to keep, she will lose interest in you. If you are too easy to control, she will not respect you.

I’m 26 and this has been one of the main things that has prevented me from making any attempt at trying to date, because I just feel like most girls are gonna look down on a guy who’s in his mid 20’s and still lives with his parents, especially if she’s moved out and lives on her own. Let me also clarify that my living situation is not by choice, I would love to move out and get a place of my own. But I haven’t done that because the state I live in (southern California) has a very high cost of living and most people struggle to afford living here. Even a studio apartment that is outdated and infested with rats or roaches and located in a bad neighborhood is about $1,300 a month and that’s the cheapest rent price you’ll find in this area no matter where you look.

One alternative that I did think of and have been leaning towards lately is buying an RV and living in it at an RV campground because rent is about $500-$700 cheaper at those places and that probably would be more spacious than a studio apartment. Would that be seen as any better than still living at home though? I could see it going either way, it could be seen as thinking outside the box to move out and be independent in an area with a high cost of living, or it could be seen as low class and trashy to live in an RV instead of an apartment or house. And when I say RV I don’t mean just the cheapest one that I can find on Craigslist, I would only get a nice one that looks like this on the inside. Otherwise an apartment is definitely the better option.
I am wondering what type of woman you trying to get. I never walk around with a sign saying "I am a milionear or I live in the white house" college girls were attracted to me for who I was and not for what I had. I assumed you are not in college, so I believe an appointment is enough. If there was a hot girl I like in college, and I had a Ferrari, I would still have to have some game to get her. Material posecions attract a lot, but if you can't talk or have no game, then, you are just a dork.

An RV would turn off most ladies; except the hippies. If you're willing to hang around Haight-Ashbury; then you'd be fine. Last time I was there, hippies all around. Why not get some roomates? What's your monthly income currently? If you want to move out, do it for you and to better yourself, not for some pus.

Yeah, I agree with this. IMO women like a guy who is independent, mature, and successful enough to have his own place. But you have to weigh this against the financial benefits you are getting from living at home. You could rack up some substantial savings this way. If you want to increase your independence and stand on your own two feet for yourself, that's great. But I wouldn't do it just for women. And really, if your best option is to move into an RV, you might need to reconsider your goals.

Women are such hypocrites. Most have huge debt racked up, even educated ones with good jobs. One HB 9.5 from OLD had a teaching job that was likely at least 100k a year most likely at a very expensive private school and she was complaining about not having money. She blew it on traveling in the summer constantly.

Sure, men have gambling problems and such, but women rack up a lot of debt due to uncontrolled spending. A lot of women are not looking for a provider to raise a family with. They're looking to gold dig and have a man buy them their toys and take over their debt.

Hell yea, I've met a lot of women who made decent money, but live check to check...and what's funny is that a lot of them want you to help them financially with a family you didn't even make with them. The majority of them have some bastard kid or two that they expect the next man to love like they're his own. They always have pics of these kids on their OLD profile like we give af

I don't know what Disney movie they're getting this from, but the only man who will ever love those kids is their father, or some weak trickin ass simp that they won't even respect. A lot of them need to just make right with their baby daddy
 

Just because a woman listens to you and acts interested in what you say doesn't mean she really is. She might just be acting polite, while silently wishing that the date would hurry up and end, or that you would go away... and never come back.

We know women are more likely to follow their emotions than men, so it's no surprise that they tend to be impulsive, which leads to overspending. Buying things can give you a dopamine rush. But from what I've seen, women are just as likely to have a gambling problem as men, maybe even more so, for the same reasons.

But when buying at the same time they can be picky too just like with men. I sell phone accessories and they're very picky when picking cases out and such and simply can't make up their minds. You can work with them for 10 minutes showing them cases and they still walk away. A guy might take a couple mins that's it.

Women just can't make good decisions.

Thanks everyone for weighing in on this, I've been busy with work and getting ready for the holidays lately so I've been gone for awhile. But I did read the responses as they were coming in and they gave me some relief because I had been in a pretty hopeless mood because I was convinced that my dating prospects are gonna be really low because I still live at home and that I won't find any success just because of that. I'll give a little more details about my living situation though, my room is downstairs and my parents' room is upstairs and they go to bed pretty early, so I have the entire first floor of the house to myself after they go to bed. I don't think I could have a girl spend the night on the weekends because my parents are always home on the weekends and that would make the next morning awkward, but I get paid well enough that I can afford a nice hotel room for the night so that's always an option too. There's also more to my situation that everyone should know and I don't want to clog up the forums with multiple posts so I'll just say it here so it can be discussed. In addition to still living at home, I've also never dated before and only have 1 actual friend. I'm not gonna go into a ton of details about how that happened but I will say that I feel like my dating prospects are as low as they can be when all of this is combined and that I'm gonna come off as a social reject and a loser to anyone who finds out. I hope that I'm blowing this out of proportion like I was with living at home, but tell me if this really is a serious issue that needs to be fixed before I even make any attempt at dating. I've heard that a lot of girls are turned off by a guy being inexperienced and don't want to deal with that, and they're also very skeptical of dating someone with little or no friends because they might get really clingy (same goes for being inexperienced) so that's why I think this could make things worse.

I moved in with my Mom at 25 and smashed my way to heaven and back while living in her spare room. I only had one girl back there when my mom went on holiday. Other than that I was staying over at chicks houses. They all knew of my living situation and none were put off.

Yup - I stay away/run from American, UK and Irish girls.
Romanian women... the only Eastern women I've learned to stay away from, had horrible experiences with 2 now.

Russian, Ukraine (the best all around IMHO) and Asian (except for Filipino.. run!) are the best from my expansive experience.
As a Romanian myself, I have to say we have the most beautiful women/square meter. Really passionate lovers also.
Russians are also beautiful, while Czech chicks are really fun to be with.

They were great beauties, I just couldn't stand their attitudes (both HB9).

Belarus might have you beat for the beauty x Sq.m, heh (more HB imho)

lets make a formula.
Country land area sq/m = CLy
Beauty Rating = HBy
Attitude = Ay (can be -10 to +10)

therefore A x HB / CL = a womans desirability weighted by country land area
(obviously A is the biggest contributing factor)

Countries population can substitute for the divisor, such as:
Country Population = CP

Create other formulas for lolz!

Honestly I have either taken women to motels or went to their place to bang. At least 25...never was a problem. If they want to bang you just set up an opportunity for it to happen and they will go with it.
