Probably not, but how I view them is looking at how they view us.
Girls:
Uses guys to get free drinks at the bar
Records people at the gym to get their attention and when she gets said attention, calls them a creep.
They think you're gay for rejecting them or feel the need to throw an insult at you.
self proclaimed "quality women" expecting an expensive first date, it can't be a coffee one.
Will play hard to get.
Attention whores. I've seen one here on my first day, You seem like a user who's been here for a while, you probably already know who I am talking about.
the list goes on.
Women:
Makes the first move. Am I bothered about having to make the first move? Not at all, I quite like it. But I don't like the fact that someone can like someone, regardless of gender, and can't make a move. Seeing someone sad because their crush is taken, even though they had the time to get said crush? I don't feel bad for them. Women go after what they want.
You don't dress for attention, post pictures for attention, you wear what you wear because you like the clothes. Because it's you. A part of you. For a lot of women, this is the case fortunately. But this does not define them, it just adds to who they are as a person. That user on GAG, dressing provocatively DEFINES her and that's actually really sad.
You know how to talk. Could be how you're feeling, a problem you're having, it could be an argument. Women know to get the message across clearly and resolve it on the spot together with us. No passive aggression, no letting it stir until we have a huge fight. If you're shy, okay, I let that pass, but some will refuse to talk it out or will scream on the top of their longs, cut you off when you're trying to speak, it's a mess. So thanks, women, for being mature about it.
You don't play hard to get. If we get in a relationship quickly, don't feel you're easy. If we vibe together well, it can just happen. If you're the opposite and you need a lot of time investment to have you warm up to me, that is fine too, because that is not playing hard to get. You don't play.
A fifth one to end this... Let's see... Value, right. You bring as much to the table as us. To give a quick example, two weeks ago I went on this date with K. We went to the park, there weren't many spots in the shade left so, I let her sit in the one shade we found, while I got burnt like the eyes of my profile picture. I didn't think much of it, it was a fun date, but last Sunday I went on another date with K. She arrived with a whole BOX with different foods and drinks, all because supposedly I became a lobster for her good. In my eyes, K. is a woman. She doesn't take the little things for granted unlike that 'quality woman' expecting an expensive dinner on the first date. She isn't there to get spoiled, she bought back value.
I don't know if you agree with how I understand the difference between girl and woman, but this is how I see it. The 'girls', the type of women I mentioned there are the ones I will avoid. The women I put under 'Woman', I will hunt you down. I'll bring a net and a lasso if that's what it takes, you're worth the hassle.
As Pam said in The Office: "there is no difference."
And, there isn't a difference. Women stop maturing the moment they: (1) receive attention from men, and (2) realize they can use this to their benefit. The manipulation aspect comes quite early, the former (attraction) comes somewhat later, but women in their teens and 20's, and even 30's differ very little.
They'll rarely take accountability for their actions- everything they do is someone else's (usually a man's) fault. They'll use manipulation to get as many resources and support as they can. They'll also believe they're special, and act in an entitled way, because "they know their WORTH." As if possessing a vagina entitles one to unlimited free stuff.
The only aspect of maturity that is gained is when women "hits the wall," and their charms aren't getting the same result. They become invisible. Best case scenario, they learn to engage in equal relationships with people, and understand reciprocity. Worst case scenario, they'll shame men for not wanting them into their old age, and insult younger women who are playing the same game they did at their age.
I think a lot of it comes down to maturity and how they present themselves. A girl will scream, yell, create drama at the smallest of inconveniences. A girl will also put herself in to situations that aren't exactly appealing just to grasp on to the slightest bit of attention she can. A girl will always blame others for everything that has gone wrong in her life and will refuse to take accountability for the problems she has created. A woman on the other hand knows when she is wrong and admits to it. A woman pushes every single day to be a better person and not only recognizes her mistakes almost as soon as she makes them but does her best to correct them and make it right. A woman often thinks before she acts, realizing that it is crucial for her growth AND her mental health. Knowing that every single decision she makes is a direct reflection on who she is and how quickly her actions could easily create a toxic environment for herself and others. We all make mistakes. But how a person handles it and grows from it makes a huge difference.
The difference between a girl and a woman is her age, period.
The difference between a mature person and an immature person just so happens to correlate very strongly with age, too. The older one gets, the wiser and more mature they get, and the more capable they are of manage relationships with the opposite sex. That goes for both women and men.
I know that's not the answer you were looking for here because it doesn't help you peddle your wares, but there you have it.

A girl is below 18.
A woman is over 18.
The big difference is, prepubescent females are referred to as girls, never as women. Post-pubscent females can be referred to as women, especially once they become sexually active. Women are grown ups.
But the words lady, girl and woman can also be synonymous. One or the other can be used, depending on the circumstances.
Girl implies youthful, cute, diminutive, sexy, playful. Most grown women embrace those qualities.
Woman can sound kind of stilted or more formal. Although "girl" can sound condescending under some circumstances.
Song lyrics usually use the word girl because it is one syllable, rolls softly off the tongue, implies familiarity or intimacy, and has a feminine ring to it. The word woman can be awkward in lyrics, especially love songs, although there are exceptions like "When a Man Loves a Woman" and "She's Always a Woman".
Girls Ask Guys sounds better than Women Ask Men. But does the name exclude grown women?
Girlfriend sounds much better than womanfriend. Women friend sounds more like an older female acquaintance.
Women call each other girls all the time. "I'm going out with the girls" has a completely different ring than "I'm going out with the women."
Girl tends to apply to women in the sexual age range. Girl means "young woman". And what woman doesn't want to look young?
Woman could describe a physically mature female of any age, including 90+ years old. But even a 90 year old can get a kick out of being called "one of the girls" by a friend. It reminds her of being in the prime of life.
I don't know at what point a physically mature female graduates from being a girl to a woman. I think it's more about attitude than age. Or is it when people start calling her ma'am?
For me, a girl is someone who is under 18 and is still trying to find her place in life. She is probably quite vulnerable and needs guidance from family or seniors/guardians on personal/life matters. At this age a girl is probably just dating guys looking for fun, generally enjoying her life and not serious about relationships. If she has any relationships at this point it is likely from someone she knew at highschool or earlier.
A woman on the other hand is someone who is over that age and someone who has had experience of life at some level (lived a little) and knows what it is about. She is likely to have travelled much, have her own thoughts on issues so would make her own decisions and thus have far more confidence in most life matters than a girl at 18. A woman would likely be looking for someone to get married and settle down with and have a family, or for more independent types would likely stick it out on her own. She would have likely developed a number of skills, financial independence being a good example. A good career with financial stability would be one of her main goals either with (or without) a guy in her life.
Girls are more likely to choose what feels good for the moment. They want to have fun and expand on their experiences. They're curious and haven't necessarily discovered who they are or what works for them, so they tend to be more likely to be open to most anything that might come up. Their focus tends to be short-term rather than long-term. What they value is often viewed by others as more superficial.
Women tend to focus on long-term stability and seek someone who they believe can provide that. They seek comfort in what is familiar so often are set in their ways and are only open to what makes sense to them. They tend to become more closed-minded and rigid as they age. They are more likely to insist they are right. They are more likely to focus on what they believe others should do rather than what they can do.
They are both beautiful depending on how they grew up or they're growing up one has a little bit more experience but and unless you know who they are you can't really tell the difference because we all grow up different we all had a different role models we all have different thoughts attitudes I believe that they're both wise they're both smart most are balanced and to be honest they both want to be loved and held taken care of and there's nothing wrong with that the woman depending on how she grew up and what she's been through I would think would be a little bit stronger a little bit wiser she still has the girl inside of her and will until she's probably 50 or 60 who even knows but it's up there the girl is wise she wants to know and experience everything but still has morals values and ethics one has just been through more than the other one that's about it
So no I am not sure I know the difference or not sounds like a loaded question. I mean I know what I want in women/girl so I am not sure I know what you consider the difference to be.
What I do know is that I like confident women, the types that don't play games because they know what they are about and what they want. I ask them straight up, are you a confident women? Because I am a confident man, so if you have any level of insecurities that you don't have in check its not going to work out with a guy like me.
I like women/girls that make themselves emotionally and physically available... and expect the same. They don't play jedi mind tricks on themselves, by getting inside their own head... like people are supposed to know what they want when they don't know for themselves, or think men are just supposed to know for themselves.
They are not scared to commit when they know they have a man that had a lot to offer.
Not really since you ask. Women are more serious and girls are more light hearted.
I know women old enough to be called a woman but who would prefer to be called a girl. It is all about being youthful and as a guy I would be careful not to imply a woman is not youthful in looks, dress or attitude. You could get a broken nose that way.
So I just look at how she presents. If there is care in how she dresses then she's a girl. If she is wearing sensible clothes and shoes she is a woman.
I am absolutely sure I have scored zero on this test.
They don't differ. Stop generalizing. This site generalizes everything. You cannot dismiss individuality. Lol why do people not understand that. There are minors that are millionaires due to their own accord. There are grown women who ruin every relationship and never are financially free. Age has nothing to do with it. Either you know or you don't know. It is that simple. You think 97% of the population wants to be Not financially free? You think grown people want to be alone and lonely? No. They don't know how to be anything else yet and it has nothing to do with age.
The relative age of consent is the main difference. Girls just wanna have fun, as the great Cyndi Lauper informed us. They want you to spend your money freely and frivolously on adventures and “fun” things. Women have lives and livelihoods to maintain, as well as a future in which to invest. They’d rather you pay their bills or invest in property for them or their kids’ education. Either way, it’s almost always about the money.
Kanye said it best, “I ain’t sayin’ she’s a gold digger, but she ain’t messin’ with no broke ninjas!”
Ell oh ell!
I've had my share of both. In my experience, the only difference is that a "girl" will try to reel you back in when you say goodbye, where a "woman" will accept it and move on, because the "girl" is dependent where the woman isn't.
Both will treat a good man like a servant. Both will show no gratitude or respect without it being made clear that you won't tolerate anything less. Both will take you for granted, show you no consideration, and treat you like the bad guy any time they aren't being served. Especially when it's over.
Easiest difference would obviously be age. Teenage girl vs a 40 yo woman etc. Maturity wise women tend to peak around 19, 20 so there's not much difference there. In fact a lot of men w/ young daughters notice the similarities between the children and older women which includes.
1) sense of entitlement
2) inability to take responsibility
3) the ability to weaponize emotions.
I've been fortunate to have been w/ 100's of women and interact w/ 10's of thousands more and I would say outside of the obvious physical aspect there's little difference between the two.
Ugh yes. Love women. Couldn't believe the differences in dating as I got older. I love that women dont want to crawl up your DMs 24/7 then get mad when you take a minute longer to reply than they thought you would. Because replying to a silly p6pintless text conversation takes propriety over everything you have going in your life, to a girl xD in fact, not doing that is an indicator that you're not interested lmao dont miss those days at all
honestly I am 29 and I never really viewed or understood girls my age as women until recently (although I dont consider or refer to myself or my friends as men and women lol, I would still think of us as girls/guys, although we strangely and undoubtedly are men/women now). There's a natural maturity that takes hold for males and females during your mid 20s (a little earlier for girls) but you dont realize that even took place till your late 20s when you have the capability of looking back and recognizing that. I think women around 23-25 (yes by that age you're a woman) are noticeably hotter and coming into their prime in more of a matured feminine way, beautiful in every way really. it for some reason is worth more and you appreciate it more when you get to this age. It is the best of all worlds: still have a fantastic body without the dramaticism of being a girl.
Girls are children: they're vain, self-centered and attention-seeking.
Women are independent, centered, as in balanced. They have goals, understanding, kindness. You can tag these same features onto boys and men. It's immaturity vs. maturity.
Most commonly mislabeled here:
Girl. Easier to access as not brainwashed yet.
Woman: Brainwashed. Too opinionated from personal experiences. Even if still only 14yrs old. Avoid and slap degrading labels on to warn other factory rejects.
u that would be way too subjective and complex
and different "standards" for different people
more than me trying to define you as a woman or a girl... I would very much rather to listen to you, telling me about how you see it and feel about it, and that would be the only and therefore the best way for me to understand it, to understand you... that is
The plan of 'some' millennial women during the 2000s to about 2014-2017 at the latest was to seek out 10%s and settle for less in their 30s if fail. In 2015-2016 millennial Single men figured this plan out, it spread across the wide web. Thank you... . It answered why it was so difficult in their 20s, why they were treated piss dirt poor by millennial women.
Elephant in the room, 👆
What is the difference between a girl and a woman in a relationship?
A woman has standards (what she holds herself to) not expectations (what she projects onto others). 3. A girl uses her physical beauty as her currency and basis of value. A girl may be so used to feeling validated through her looks and sexuality, that she uses this as her primary tool to get what she wants in life.
Girl vs women I define with traits same as I would define a boy vs a man
Man or woman must be stoic, self sufficient and have three types of ambition physical, mental, professional. And those ambitions must be in the pursuit of improving your self and those around you.
I’ve meet 50 yr old girls and boys and 17 year old men and women everything in between.
This is just a snap shot of my opinion.
They don't differ.
1. Girl = Woman, Guy = Man
2. Even if we ignore girl/guy having no age connotation, people think based on personality, not age.
For example, I still think and act the way I did when I was 8, others change dramatically over time. There isn't really a standard, people don't even have the same intelligence ceiling, decisiveness, experiences, reactions, preferences, etc.
