Trust me you're not the only person that goes through that, I have that same problem. Your parents are doing that because you're a girl, and they feel that they are protecting you. Even though its very wrong, I guess they feel that strange boys are more dangerous than strange girls.

you may be an adult but your still their baby and as a parent i can tell you it's alot different when you have a son then a daughter i know they should be treated equally but its never the case.. I do not have to worry about my son getting pregnant my daughter i will. I do not have to worry about him getting a bad reputation her i will. So i can see things from both points of view... Is it fair No it's not can you change it? I doubt it.. I know you said you can not afford to move out... I would suggest if you have a job save money and maybe try and find a roommate to share expenses... Good Luck bid your time you won't be there forever

No it isn't fair. You are old enough to do what you want. But, you need to respect your parents. If you want to date and don't want them to know it, then you will have to be sneaky doing it. Pretend that you are going to the library or something like that so they don't suspect you. Also, you could talk to them to see if they know of anyone that has a boy that they could hook you up with....then they would feel like they help choose the "right" guy for you. Whatever you do, don't disrespect them. Make them feel like they still have control, but you gotta get out of the house to meet someone secretly. Good Luck

Are you in college?
Since you didn't take that step into adulthood and you are "broke as ****", you seem to be treated as a high-schooler who hasn't gotten their head on straight.
Maybe once you start making money, earning reputation with your parents and, ultimately, get out of their hair, they'll let you date.

that is not cool, theyre being sexist. talk to them about it. youre an adult and should be able to do what you want. i know you still live with them but they shouldnt let your brother get away with that and not let you

That's stupid as hell! They should let you do what you want.
