   Probably a woman over forty years old who lives with her mother would. The problem is usually that in what possible circumstances could they meet. They would probably have little confidence and wouldn't have an active social life. There is a partner out there for everyone. Whether you meet that person or not depends on your thinking and what you're prepared to do to find that person. It's a cruel world out there, but if you really want something, the only thing that stands in your way is you. Go out there and make life happen. Sitting back and wishing won't do it. One has to be proactive in life. In conclusion, most people would not date this 40 year old, but that has nothing to do with their value as a human being. LIke I said there is a partner for everyone; we're all different.

   Well, I definitely wouldn't date a woman who makes superficial judgements about someone without knowing anything about them.
   
   There are lots of reasons to live with parents. Maybe he takes care of her for instance, which would in fact make him a man and not a "big kid".

   It all depends -- is he there because he just hasn't had the gumption to move out? Lost his job and financially didn't have any other choice? Mother needed daily supervision?
   
   If he's still at home because he still likes having his mom take care of him then that would be a definite problem, and I most certainly would not date him because he's obviously not a good maturity match for me, and would likely expect me to take over mom's job in taking care of him. On the other hand, if it's a matter of him taking care of her, financial issues beyond his control, or because he's simply not home much so all he needs is a bed to crash in (depending on the reason), then there may be nothing wrong with it.

    A friend of mine,doctor,specialist in internal medicine, is taking care of his mother and they live together.
    He is divorced and he doesnt want to send his mother to  the old people home.He is paying a nurse to help him.
    I know that in the USA, and many other counties, it is common to send old parents to Home for retired people.And work and work and work...Where the money is most important,parents,children and other people are behind the money.
    People are different.
    So are the priorities.
    He is over 40,very kind,sensitive person.
    He respects his mom.And takes care of her.
    I believe that a woman who doesnt want to be with him just because of his mom is a vary bad woman.In every sense.

    Depends on his reasons for doing so. He might be unemployed, in which case he's a loser. The living with his mother is just incidental. However, he might be living with his mother because she is ill or otherwise unable to care for herself. In this case, he's sacrificing his own wants to ensure for the wellbeing of the woman who raised him, displaying the utmost in compassion. This should be recognized.

    It depends why he is living there. Does he take care of his mother?  Does he have a job? Has he ever lived on his own but then due to circumstances had to move home?  Does he have his own space or is the house too small for him to comfortably have his own life?
    
    If he has no job, has never left home, and lives with his mother at 40, naturally this would be concerning.
    
    However, there are numerous circumstances including being the caretaker for his mother, loss of a job, etc. that makes this question difficult to answer without knowing the situation, or the person.

    I moved into the basement apartment of my parent's house at the age of 40 when I got divorced. This was to stay close to my son who was 11 at the time. A year after he graduated from high school and was off to college, I bought a house in another town and got remarried.

    I dated a guy 42 who live at home with his mom. I didn't know at first. He told me his grandmother had died and left him the house, and he was living there with his son. I found out later he had told all his lady friends this. The home is his mom's. He's been living there with her since grade school, he never lived on his own. He lied about working, he don't. His mom works everyday, but he stays home with his son playing on FB, and his ipad cheering women online about how beautiful they are. The guy was a loser and I'm so glad I got away. He has no shame letting his mom walk out that door everyday and he just sits there. He never had money, he was just a man who wanted everyone to feel sorry for him. I would still date a guy who lives at home, ONLY if he's working and maintaining, or caring for a sick relative. This guy was just a lazy bum.

    It depends upon the situation. If the man was living on his mother's home to be with his mother, which means to help her, there would be a chance that I would date him. But if the man is living there because he has no job and keeps on being dependent to his mother, I definitely won't. It just shows that he has no goals of his own.

    If I had a crush on the guy, I would date him no matter what.  You never know the entire story.  Was he laid off from his job and trying to get back on his feet?  Did his wife cheat on him and he had no where else to go?  Does his mother need someone around?  Perhaps she has no money or job and can't get one for some reason, and he is taking care of her and paying the bills.

    I went on a date with a man who is in his early 40's. I discovered, during the course of our date, that he lives at home. At first, I figured it was to take care of his mom and help her. It turned out that he is the one being taken care of. I have three children living at home, and he acted like one of them. He had never been married or had children, or responsibilities. It was too hard for us to relate to each other's problems.
    After only one date, he was ready to get serious and move forward. I definitely wouldn't do that again.

    I married a man who was 40 years old and lived with his mother, ignored all the warnings from friends, red flags he and his mother gave me.  I made excuses for him living there, even though he had a steady job and could well afford being in his own place.  Eventually it became clear he was the stereotypical mama's boy; spoiled, immature, pathological little rich kid who never grew up, never had kids, was forever his mother's son above all else.  Needless to say we divorced soon after.  The only difference between he and Norman Bates was he never owned a hotel.

    In our culture, that would be no problem. As long as he takes care of her and he has his own job and is not a bum. With that kind of man, you could tell he's family-oriented and respects women.

    I am a 42 year old guy who's living at home with his parents. I could make excuses for it and will try. Firstly, why do most people first move out? Because they go to uni, co-habit with friends, or get a job elsewhere. I never went to uni or had friends who were in a position I could've moved in with. I struggled with anxiety until my 30s and never even dated until then. In my late 30s, I eventually made a move to live on my own in the area (renting). Its not a cheap area and with no partner, I got very lonely, and soon came back home. I then tried a house share elsewhere, but didn't get on with my house mate. I'm now home again and have figured that for me, it's not worth spending money on an expensive rent to be alone, so unless I meet someone, I'll be staying put. I don't like it, but it's better than the alternative. If a woman can't understand that and judges every aspect of me based entirely on that, then that's up to her, but I think it also doesn't reflect that well on her if she does.

    I think every person should judge a each scenario based on what and why. Not generalize the statement. Sometimes there are reasons to be with family. Learn a person. Find out what a person is all about. Once you know why a person is making a decision or choice then you can know if they are someone that you can date. I am most certain knowing myself I am far from perfect, so judging before not knowing, might be my loss.
