I've never read a study on adults who live at their parent's home who have no car. Does some type of correlation, if one even exists, translate to forming a stereotype about an entire group of people?
Ohh, you are a single mother. How many recipients of welfare are single mothers?
I'm a single mom. Not a recipient of welfare. Ive also worked very hard to get where I'm at...emotionally and financially...so I look for a similar mate. Because wed share those commonalities.
I'm speaking from my own personal experiences with dating. Not a study. Not sure why my life experiences offend you so much. It's my choice to date or not date a person. I've not categorized or bashed an entire group of people. Just spoke on my preferences and again personal experience.2 -

I don't judge a woman for being a single mother on welfare, but she sure will ironically judge a man for living with his parents and having no car - i. e.
recieving support in some form.
Your "red flag" isn't uncommon, it's a common red flag with women. It just has its roots in antiquated gender roles for men. Feminism says you can work or be a stay-at-home-mother, but what about men and their provider role?
😂wow did you just say tax payers, mostly men pay for single women on welfare?
And I'm all for a man being a stay at home dad. But that's not what we are talking about. Men living with their parents. Grown men. Not taking care of anyone.
I've dated a teacher who was also a great dad. He was not societies standard of a typical male role.
Why do I get the sense of some lame attempt at trolling here?3 -

Maybe your opinion based on personal experience is a stereotype? I would agree it could mean something like drug or alcohol addiction (if they haven't burned their relationship with their parents yet), or serious mental health problems, but that would only be a portion of the complete pie.
There are also men who have criminal records for non-violent crimes that are barred from employeement because we still have a Scarlett Letter justice system.
Yep, men pay most of the taxes and make the most money, and indirectly support mothers and offspring they did not sire. Being supported by government or family shouldn't earn someone an automatic stigma and be a judgment of their character.
Mmm, k. So you're bringing up examples that have nothing to do with what we've said. And your take on single moms 😂
Are you 12? Your trolling abilities tell me you still live with mom 🤷♀️1 -

Well dang, he should've just asked2 -
I was taken on a date to the local river where he had a small tinnie moored.
We were going to spend the day fishing and exploring the river. In the first couple of minutes he got us stuck on a sand bank.
He said we'd have to get out and push it.. 😒 We jumped out and instantly sunk to our knees in muddy sandy black stuff while unknown live somethings touched my legs... it took 2 minutes, the longest 2 minutes of my life to drag, pull and push the boat to deeper water. By that stage I was upset and angry and just wanted to go back to the boat ramp .. which we did.
The river current was a little strong so he hopped out to hold the boat by the rope and held my arm to help me get out, he accidently dropped the rope and so the boat started moving with one of my legs still in the boat and the other in water..( I was doing the splits) ... the oar mount on the side of boat scrapped my leg badly as I ended up falling in the water, my only words were "take me home"
The next day I had a massive bruise on the inside of my leg and could hardly walk. Eventually I saw the funny side and even went on 2 more dates with him but not in his tinnie .

True, but it's a Midwest staple. The one in question is still there.. still open. It's the late night druggie/drunk hangout, after all.0 -

I can laugh about it now, especially remembering the horrified look on his face as he realised the boat was floating away with one of my legs still in it... 😄but at the time I was livid.😬
I was so scared jumping into that water as I'd seen things flitting around in the water not long before hand... probably fish or something.. Idk 🤷♀️1 -
