...would it bother you to be referred to as a girl? Under what circumstances is it okay?

Re: Quiz for the females
I highly doubt anyone would seriously call a woman over the age of oooooh...25 a girl. My friends and i refer to each other as girls when we are in groups - as in "hi girls!" but said with the tongue firmly in cheek.
An odd question. Why do you ask?

Re: Quiz for the females
I'll use the term on occasion, but not too often. But I just read an interview where a 40+ woman called herself a girl and it just seemed...
I don't know. Maybe it's vaguely like the N word. Black people can say it; white people can't, etc.

Re: Quiz for the females
I once had a discussion about this with one of my male friends. I felt weird about being called 'girl' as I associated it with being young, naive and giggly.
He said it was a compliment he called me a girl, because he associated 'woman' with old, grumpy and wrinkly. I don't really know what I prefer. I'm still a bit in between. Maybe I should just go for Laydee.

Re: Quiz for the females
I call people girls and boys still. I don't get offended when people call me a girl.
I did get offended the other day at work when I answered the phone and someone was trying to sell his services as a roofer and kept repeating my first name when I told him "no thanks", and asked for my boss, because maybe he needs a new roof...and I was like "uh, we don't own the building and he has a condo", and he said, "oh okay, thank you sweetheart". and I wanted to punch him right through the phone. "honey" is also bad. I sound very young, but it's still rude. |

Re: Quiz for the females
How is this a quiz?
I don't mind it. Fiance used to call me that when we started dating and I loved it, it made me feel like a high schooler again. In a good way. "What's up girl?" he'd say as he walked into my house. "Hey girl." And he'd smile that little half smile and I'd be all nervous and omg hoping he'd kiss me. I'll take girl over ma'am any day.

Re: Quiz for the females
I think it depends on the circumstances.
Friend and I tend to say "ooooh giiiiiirl" when joking around and saying hi and all that. But in a formal, business setting if someone called referred to me as a girl and not a woman I'd probably look at them funny. |

Re: Quiz for the females
generally speaking, when someone calls a dude "boy" its kind of a put down.
"listen here, boy" i can understand being annoyed at being called girl if you're a woman. ps i HATE being called sweetheart or honey by anyone other than my so.

Socially I don't generally mind it. Professionally it's unacceptable.

Re: Quiz for the females
you guys are obviously not southern! i LOVE being called darlin' or honey or sweetheart unless it's meant sarcastically/rudely.
also, i don't mind being called "girl" as long as it's not meant in a mean way. |

Re: Quiz for the females
What I find weird is when big burly men (usually from Yorkshire) call other men "love". Most of the time they don't even remember to say "no homo", it's like WTF?!?/?
