I'm in my 20s and I learned on an automatic and that's what I owned until I finally bought my first new car, at which point I decided that I damn well wanted to learn how to drive stick and I wanted it bad enough that I ordered a brand new manual transmission Jeep Wrangler without knowing how to drive it, then got someone to teach me. Now I love it, its much more active then driving an automatic. Side note I went through the the MSF motorcycle training course twice once before I knew how to drive stick and once after. The second time around it was disgustingly easier to find the friction zone on the training motorcycles, whereas the first time I felt like I was having constant trouble, the subsequent time I got it right off the bat.
