A girl is any female human from birth through childhood and adolescence to attainment of adulthood. The term may also be used to mean a young woman.

Usage for adults

The word girl is sometimes used to refer to an adult female. This usage may be considered derogatory or disrespectful in professional or other formal contexts, just as the term boy can be considered disparaging when applied to an adult man. Hence, this usage is often deprecative. It can also be used depricatively when used to discriminate against children ("you're just a girl").

In casual context, the word has positive uses, as evidenced by its use in titles of popular music. It has been used playfully for people acting in an energetic fashion (Furtado's "Promiscuous Girl") or as a way of unifying women of all ages on the basis of their once having been girls (McBride's "This One's for the Girls"). In both cases, these positive uses are when the word is used for its capacity to collectively refer to the girl's gender rather than to their age.

A. jus forget about it. there's more girls in college who r way better, mature and good looking. i've dated my very good looking immature best friend when I was a junior, it lasted only 2 months. we were the best best of friends. but he wouldn't give me cute things. no cards. no gifts. nothing because we already had our friendship for so long it was like " i don't have to give you anything?" so trust me on this one, if you do decide to go for it...it'll be a learning experience alright. but you might get hurt...and it WILL affect you in the long term.

How do I initialize attraction to a girl ?
Q. I am jinxed in regards to talking to girls and dating. I have an unknown disorder of the mind that doesn't allow me to connect with the girls who I like, and girls in general.

A. A girl asked a similar question. Here is the answer I gave her, just look at the answer from the guy's point of view. The easiest way is join an club or organization centered around an activity that you enjoy. a) Some bars sponsor beach sand volley ball leagues in their parking lot. Then you have to meet dozens of guys every week. b) Get involved in social dancing, like swing dancing. c) Ski club, softball league, any activity. The activity gives you a built-in reason to meet guys. For example, in a swing dance class, guys and girls line up in two lines. The instructor demonstrates a simple movement. Then you try it with the guy in front of you. Instructor says step left, and then you try it again with a new guy. You can meet hundreds of… [cont.]

How does a girl react when a guy goes to jail over statutory rape for having consensual sex with them ?
Q. I always hear about teenage guys anywhere from 17-19 going to jail for having consensual sex with a slightly younger girl anywhere from 15-16...sometimes even 17 too. I never hear about the girls reaction and how they take it tho since they dont really get into trouble...but how do the young ladies feel when a guy is thrown in jail over them?

A. Last year there was a special where a guy in his 20s took a 14 year old girl across state line to marry her in state where the legal age of marriage was 14. When he came back he was arrested. Even though her mother had given her consent and she was pregnant the judge did not relent. He went to jail but when he came back she stayed with him. She was still in love with him. I don't think older guys should date teenage girls but I feel that in a situation where the parent give her consent the judge should not send the guy to jail. When you think of real rapist going free all the time and a guy who with his mother in law's consent decide to live a monogamous relationship with the loves is put to jail, you know that something is wrong with… [cont.]
