Not sure if these are red flags or I'm just too picky?

I'm speaking to a 31 year old man online ATM who's saving to buy his own home by living at home which is entirely understandable, however he's lived there for nearly 8 years. He's also been single for the vast majority of that time too.
I know housesharing can be dire, I suppose I don't understand not even having the curiosity to do it for just a year or even 6 months, just to gain some independence?
Doesn't seem to have any hobbies, just the usual passtimes of football, watching films/series, PS5, etc. doesn't do any exercise even though he looks very slim.
Maybe using the term red flag is a little harsh? Just 'not for me '.

I'm 24 and will probably be living at home until I can afford to buy. What's the point in renting, paying off someone else's mortgage and getting no return? If he's welcome at home, that's fine.

These days people live with their parents because it's not nearly as economically viable to save for your own place while renting.

If you are chatting and getting on, you could meet for coffee, see how he seems irl.

I know a few lovely young men who still live at home in their early 30s. But... they are a bit passive in life generally if I'm really honest, in comparison with the ones who choose to live in flat shares and have their independence.

I don't think that's a fair comment.

You've said yourself it's hard to rent and save.

Wow.
Tell me you don't understand mental health without telling me.

To continue living at home just to save money is a huge sacrifice and he would have to be extremely financially motivated to want to do this. That means have a sizeable amount saved with very clear plans about how he’s putting that money to work or clear ideas about what type of property he wants to invest in.
I don’t want to sound like a gold digger, but I would be more inclined to take him seriously if he had saved 100k vs 10k.

Massive incompatibility.

You need to feel at similar life stages and he isn’t aligned with yours.

One why has everything got t0 be about mental health!

I don’t think these are red flags at all but why you jumped straight to mental health is beyond me. My brother is in his thirties, at home still . He’s-lays computer games. There’s nothing wrong with his metal health though!

Not talking aboutnthe OP. A pp claimed everybody who stays at home is lazy.

I dated a bloke who was 35/ 36 whilst we were dating who lived at home. The living at home bit didn't bother me a huge amount as I know how expensive renting is (I rent, mid 40's for context), but it was also accompanied by a rather lacklustre outlook... He also spent his free time watching telly and playing computer games. When he would come over to mine, all he wanted to do was order take away and watch telly. Trying to get this man to go for a walk was like pulling teeth. He had a cob on anytime I tried to get us to do something, anything, that involved an activity... Ick, ick, ick.

Some folk are like this because they're depressed which is obviously a different situation... this guy wasn't, he just had a very small and limited world view. Telly and computer games ruled his world!

Nah. Live vicariously through me for a moment OP so you don't have to waste a year of your time like I did!

You sound like a hateful loser. People eh.

Doesn’t have any hobbies - then you list a series of hobbies?!
