What do people mean by “girl next door”?

[gothbxtch]

i like sort of know but it’s sort of confusing being told “you’re not exactly the girl next door type”

[Fireguy17]

Years ago it was common to look for someone that didn't live close by.
Maybe in another town, neighborhood, and you never noticed someone that lived right next door to you, or a few houses away.
When you did find her it was one of those where have you been all my life moments.
She was the girl next door.

[RingOfFire]

Think... "Opposite of gothbxtch."

[Alli39]

Cute, approachable, usually dresses pretty basic (think like casual, maybe leaning into preppy or athletic wear), kind of simple/vanilla (but like not necessarily as an insult?).

[sheenagwapa]

girl next door for me is the simpler type when it comes to her clothes and style and has that friendly aura

[FunkyMonkee]

Sweet, innocent, ordinary, doesn't spend loads of money on clothes, make-up and hair-dos, not putting on airs that she's something she's not. What you see is what you get. Have you ever seen, "Gilligan's Island"? Maryann is a "girl next door" type.

[Kinkyhubby]

Usually "girl next door type" means they think your kind, innocent, sweet, because your have been neighborly to them all those years. And it is the image they see in you. It may not be try, it just how they see you until you do some bad or evil act in front of them or to their son if you Date him.

The girl next door is a term used to describe a female archetype and fashion aesthetic which can range in terms of personal definition, but usually denotes a girl or woman who appeals to traditional or “all-American” gender norms with the allure of purity, simplicity, and charm, with a natural, modest, or effortless

The girl next door is cute but you see her so often you never think of her as a dating prospect. It usually takes a circumstance where you see her in a different locale, or dressed up, or even dating for the first time, for you to realise "wow, she's actually hot"

[WhitneySnow]

Fresh faced. Preppie. Probably doesn’t do drugs have a lot of tattoos or hook up with randoms.

It is a wholesome and innocent girl. I did not marry the girl next door but I I married the one that lived up the street

Have you ever been frozen for a few days? When they un-freeze you, there is no notice, no explanation and no apology. Nothing. All I said was that fireworks cause fires. Frozen! lol


Did you ever watch the movie Frozen? I went to visit my friend. When I attempted to leave, her 3-year old granddaughter grabbed my hand. She said I couldn't leave until I watched "Frozen."
It was the longest two hours of my life. But little Addison told me that if I had any questions, she would help explain it to me. Addy never stopped talking.

At the end of the movie, Addy demanded I ask a question.

Karen: Why can the snowman talk, but not the reindeer?
Addy: Silly, reindeer can't talk.

The clouds parted, the sun came out and everything was right in the world. Reindeer can't talk but snowmen can. Who knew?

@Karen444 I have never been frozen. I think the movie Frozen came out because Walt Disney had himself frozen and once they gat a cure for cancer he can be thawed out and brought back to life. Haven't you ever heard of Disney on Ice,?

[Karen444]

I've heard of it. People hate me because of my name.
But did you know that scientists now believe they can bring back the Wooly Mammath? Google it. I'm not joking. Fireworks cause fires, Frozen is a crappy movie, and now we're getting Wooly Mamaths! It's the same thing as Jurassic Park. It just takes some DNA


I urge you to Google this. You will wonder what happened to your cat, and it will be under a pile of elephant turds. I love science and technology, but do we really need more elephant turds?

Bill Gates says you and I must now eat bugs. I agree that pretty much everything tastes good with ranch dressing, but I'm not looking forward to elephant poop and bugs. Who can afford that much ranch dressing?

[exitseven]

@Karen444 Bill Gates can eat some roaches if he wants but I will have the T bone

[Karen444]

Let's hope we get the choice.

@Karen444 There used to be that old tv show called "Science Fiction Theater" It was made a very long time ago and I can barely rememebr it but I remember an episode where they found a wooly mammoth that was frozen and thawed it out and it came back to life.

[Karen444]

The guy I heard said he was going to bring back the mammoth, the saber tooth tiger and the pterodactyl. It doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

[Berethor]

She an average looking good girl, not a seductress.

A "girl next door" is usually a cute, innocent, wholesome girl. It's the kind of girl most guys want, so long as she is wild in bed.

[4ngelic]

someone cute but with a very simple lowkey look, and a sweet down to earth wholesome common personality

[Anonymous]

If you think about it every woman who has a neighbor is a girl next door lol 🤔

The stereotype I would say is the cute girl.

[Anonymous]

To me it sounds kinda like an insult, even though people say it's positive.. It basically means that one is pretty basic, doesn't have a lot of character in the way they dress, is average in terms of looks and/or conforms to social norms

[jshm2]

In American culture, it's being a teeny bopper.

In British culture, it's being a church girl.

[HeartFullOfGlue]

I think it means the pretty, wholesome, mysterious girl that lives next door

[safricanluke]

It's based on a movie trope. The girl next door is usually seen as classically beautiful, innocent, polite and having all traditional conservative values

[Curiosity2006]

I thought it meant your neighbor... lol

[gothbxtch]

lol me too

[ProbablyClueless]

People usually mean sweet, innocent, casually, effortlessly sexy. A very wholesome person.

[Sasha0426]

I take it as she’s really hot. There could be different meanings I’m not aware of but that’s the main definition I know of.

[eagle1951]

means she's living in the house next door to yours

[Anonymous]

Hearing that makes me think of that messed up movie with the abusive mother. I don't like it...

[DerekC321]

It's supposed a girl who's hot, seductive and mysterious

[Kelly6]

That confuses me too.

[gothbxtch]

glad i’m not the only one haha

[Kelly6]

True hehe

[Anonymous]

"Wholesome and down to earth" essentially.

[Pyrofox]

Old school way of saying friends with benefits.

[MementoMori777]

Is that another way to call someone attractive?

[sheikalana]

A plain Jane or an average girl.

[DrKrieger]

A sundress easy going and a pleasure to be around

[LiamJHayden]

Think Kirsten Dunst as MJ in Spiderman.

[whistlingwh0res]

He is probably gigolo type anyway

[elontesler3]

neighbor
