My brother's nearly 22 and still lives with our mum and dad, last I heard he was looking for a house. I'd been living away from home for a few years when I was his age - finding a bloke was the catalyst for me to do that but I'd been wanting my independence for a while prior to that. I don't think gender played a part, it was just my personal choice, and some girls I know in my age group, like my cousins and my best friend from school, are still living at home and happy to do so.
