Exactly what age does someone stop becoming a girl and becomes a woman?

[Whatthefluff]

Do you refer to someone who is expecting a live birth a pregnant person or a pregnant woman?

[MissTinaP]

It's kind of a state of mind thing. I was born a girl, I grew into a young woman, and eventually became a modern woman. An individual who questions, asks, challenges, and stands up for her rights. Becoming a woman doesn't come overnight. It can take years of maturity preparation which includes physical, emotional and intellectual changes.

Emotionally, tell yourself that you are a woman. You need to act with confidence, have good manners and learn proper social skills. Think carefully about what you want out of life.

Intellectually, becoming a woman is important. You have to learn how to be independent. Whether its balancing finances, taking care of your living space, responding appropriately to criticism, showing up on time, or learning how to feed yourself. All of these are educational.

Lastly, knowing how your body changes physically, and how the media portrayals are not accurate. Maintain healthy eating and exercise habits. And definitely take care of your sexual health. Seeing a medical professional is not a bad thing, its important.

I know I'm going to catch a lot of flak for this answer but 40. I say 40 because this is when middle age begins. I still feel like a girl at 31 and I don't see myself being a woman until I reach that age or I start having kids, whichever comes first.

[ohsheeT]

I don't really have the answer to that but in my heart I always feel that there is a girl inside of a woman and vice versa there's no reason to give yourself one label and not have the freedom to express and be the other one there's a time and place where we all grow same with men the boy will never leave me and the man is always right there depending on the moment in time

[OlderAndWiser]

A girl becomes a woman when she no longer needs the consent or approval of her guardian and is free to make her own choices for how she lives her life. It is not related to the legal age of majority.

"Do you refer to someone who is expecting a live birth a pregnant person or a pregnant woman?" There are no pregnant men! She is either a pregnant girl or a pregnant woman.

[zeitgeist057]

There is no exact age that applies to all individuals. It is more a state of mind, and even so I would not say there is an exact moment, but rather it is on a spectrum of development. Devil's advocate, though, there could be for some an exact moment when they feel the time of girlhood is gone and womanhood is upon them. Perhaps at the moment of a great accomplishment or when a responsibility is upon them, or even an event that leaves them responsible such as the death or disability of their caretaker.

I do know many go out into the "adult world" still feeling they are a child or not fully mature, and many stay that way for years

[BoopBoopBeep]

Psychological for me. Obviously not under 18, but I know 35 year old children too. A woman has poise, carries herself well and in a professional manner, can complement and compliment, as well as receive praise with grace and poise. A woman gives a man reason to feel bettered by her presence, can converse on a number of subjects and carry her own in social settings without bring embarrassment upon herself. I have known a very few women who were but 24 and I have known a great many 40-someting girls.

[soulbabe]

I'd say a woman at 20 but in different situations change that opinion for example if you are 40 and you still scream and stomp like a kid you are a gril and if you behave like a adult at 16 I'd call that an adult other than sex booze or drugs are concerned

[Leapfrog00]

Whatever the person feels comfortable with. I know some females that call themselves girls and others call themselves women. Though, there are people that will argue up and down which one should be used.

From my experience, some females don't like being called a woman because it makes them feel old! True that!

[Legendarylegacy13]

Exactly... lol

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I always thought that when a girl reaches age 21 that she becomes a woman, but there was this one elderly man mentioned him and these girls, and he was talking about ladies his age were like 78 + years old, and he mentioned them going dancing, and he was a nice guy.

[crossdressingrihno]

Do they really ever though?
I mean sure the gain experience and understand the world better but do they ever actually grow out of their old self or just cover it up with stress and scars from years of bad decisions?

[EaterPeter]

I don't know. I think it depends. certain numbers of life changing events a person has wethered should be measure of it. And that can be wrong too. It should be something like car seat or car front seat rules for kids. 6 year or 60 lbs. To be out of car seat like. 💺 and not to mess with driver in any ways while s/he driving being able to listen and follow basic instructions in most circumstances

[EaterPeter]

[EaterPeter]

[EaterPeter]

I would say 35 ?

[EaterPeter]

Actually much more or never 🙂

[EaterPeter]

Same goes for men

[monorprise]

I would say the options are
1: when she has a baby
2: takes responsibility for her own life.
3: Loses her parents
4: has her period.

[petitedollbabee]

20. You’re legally an adult at 18 in my country, but I don’t consider someone to be an adult until they’re no longer a teenager. 18 and 19 are still teenage years. A woman is an adult, a girl is not.

[OfMiceandMen]

If I was to narrow it down to an age, I would say 20. Even then, a lot of 20 year old's don't behave like a woman.

[jennifer_bloom]

I would say I became a woman at age 20 cause age 20 is when my child hood anxieties and fears were gone.

[strateguy632]

when um crumbs from dry crackers land on her shirt bumps "rack" and stay not tumble down.

[Shortcake5]

It differs according to culture and mini cultures inside that culture. If you're in the writing profession it can even differ by styles within that culture.

[Anonymous]

Biologically 15 or 16. But really when she starts looking after herself. Maybe gets married, has kids etc.

I became a woman on my wedding day when I was 16.

[BungusHighFivePizza]

Not sure about that but maybe around 45-55 when she stops becoming a woman and becomes a man.

[tfan1]

I’d say when that baby pops out of her vagina and she’s a mother.

[HighValue]

Many people use the terms girl and woman interchangeably.

[Unit1]

The general magical official number is 18.

I Don't know what moron came up with it. I've seen young kids more mature than grown adults.

[Shamalien]

It’s arbitrary these days. Biologically and traditionally a girl becomes a woman at first blood. Nowadays, I’m skeptical they ever become women lol

[OddBeMe]

Same age as men. Whatever arbitrary crap is done like losing virginity or voting or buying a lotto ticket.
