Unless you support yourself independently, it feels uncomfortable being called a man or woman, amirite?

That's like saying that a married couple isn't made up of a man and a woman.

by dependence, I think the OP means college students, or other 18+ "adults" who are still living off of their parents.

Yeah, it kinda does. And even when you are supporting yourself (I first moved out of home when I was 15), it personally feels weird to me to think of myself as an adult, even though I've legally been one for more than two year (I'm 20). I dunno, I guess because I'm pretty young for my age, if that makes sense. Like, even people who are a few years younger than me seem vastly more mature.

I prefer to be referred as a guy or young man. Man by itself just sounds old. I still call females that are younger than say 30, girls. Not that I think they're childish... its just that woman sounds so old.

Wouldn't young lady fill that age group?

Young lady works too but saying girls is quicker. Lady only works if it's said like the Lady's Man.
