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.

How do I get a girl who is indecisive about dating girls to say yes to dating me?
Q. Also, I'm a girl. This girl has said that she likes me but doesn't know what to do about it since she's not quite sure how to deal with being with another girl. She's only had one other relationship with a girl & it didn't end well. I've liked her for a few months now & she now knows this. What can I say to help make up her mind & show her that I'd be an amazing girlfriend to her?

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. It's caused me to be depressed and anxious around people, my heart and mind is destroyed as I cannot get along with girls at all. And no I am not ugly I just cant talk to them. HELP What is the first thing I should do when I see or meet a girl I like so I don't mess up in future.

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 do you console an ugly girl who complains about being ugly?
Q. Thankfully, I haven't had a whole lot of ugly girls ask me if I think they are ugly, but every now and then an ugly girl will share her frustrations with me over being unattractive. I don't know what to say. My knee jerk reaction is to say, "Oh, you're not ugly!" but that's dishonest, and I think most girls in these situations would know I was being disingenuous. But what am I supposed to say?

A. lol, just say there is someone out there that thinks you are beautiful. And there is someone out there that thinks Angelina Jolie is ugly! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And that is the truth.
