Females - what do you prefer your gender to be called?

I wish there was a female equivalent for "guy". It's friendly, informal and neutral enough. Yeah, the options we have are quite limited

You forgot "goddess"

=)

"Women, ladies, or females" are proper titles for adults of my gender. What I find ridiculous is when we are referred to as "girls" and adult males are referred to as "men", respectively.

BTW

DiscoDuck, you "are" a curiosity. You actually refer to your mother as a bitch? She MUST be deaf and you are covering your mouth when you say this. If I had a child that called me that, I would make it clear to them that their behavior was unacceptable. You are the obvious product of poor parenting. I feel so sorry for you.

When in doubt, use "women". "Females" is kind of dehumanising.

Between ages 0-20, "girls" is appropriate. 21-50, "women". 51+, "ladies".

Well, if I was on a chat site and I was talking to a male, I'd like to be called 'hunny' or 'Hun' and I don't mind 'babe'.
Depending on the topic too.
E.g. You're a pretty lady
Damn girl, you're hot
How old are you, miss/madam?

I am 35 and I still refer to women who are my age as "girls." When I was 25 I dated a 28-year-old and I figured she wouldn't want to be called a girl, so I called her a "young woman" and she said that term made her feel old and that I should call her a girl.

There is no one term that is always going to be right. It's all down to judgement of the situation you find yourself in. A lot of older women prefer "girls" because it belies age, whereas some prefer "ladies" as it implies nobility. I sometimes use "women" or "females" humorously because it's so formal. But only where I know people will be amused by me saying, "Hello females".

If it's a mixed group and I can't judge their reaction to me classifying them, I play safe and refer to them as "everyone" regardless of them all being female.

I don't care what others call it but for me I like to say girls (and I am quite immature...). Woman sounds older and formal, Ladies can sound either funny or slightly rude as in hey lady, Females is usually for being overly-formal as a joke, Chicks I say that sometimes too, but usually referring a girl I don't really know/care about.

Coke whores.

I'm a guy, but it should be called:
sex slaves/crack whores.

You forgot to mention dames a broads. Haha

I'm fine will all of the options you posted. Chick is kind of questionable sometimes though, due to how rudely it can be used by some people(in my case stupid guys I know).

Hello poppet O_o

i thought you meant pussy or vagina

I think ppl call females a certain way when it comes as to how she carries herself or who she is.For example,why would I call an 18 yr old slut/hoe a lady if she doesnt respect herself?How could I call a beautiful 20 something year old female a women if I found out from word on the street that she was a slut/hoe when she was a bit younger even though she is now trying to become a "better" person.A slut will always be a slut.period.A faithful girl/women who waited and is always faithful to her man is what I call a lady/women.rare these days...

Anything is fine if its not mean spirited, or even if you feel mistreated, I personally find un PC words important, often valid. If a man or guy, or boy, or male, calls me a bitch because I have been rude or mean, odds are, I probably am being a bitch.

Not a fan of 'chick,' I prefer girl or woman.

Gender means masculine or feminine. Sex is male or female. As a female, I'm trying to acknowledge that I'm no longer a girl but a woman. So i call myself a woman. Women should call themselves women to feel they are powerful and of a higher status than just "girl."

Just as long as it isn't Ma'am. ...I'm 18 and even I don't like to be called that.
If a guy that don't know all that well were to call me a "chick", I'd think it's pretty rude.

I guess Ladies or Women.

mostly girls since i am 19 but as i will get older i think that will change to women ^^

I don't see why someone would really care what they're called.

Then again, it's really just a personal prefrense.

I supose, however, for a twenty-five year old "Girl" isn't politacally correct.

I prefer to be called a women ! .

now you wants to be called , i quote "girls" no that's trashy .

if you a smart , professional woman than you should be called what you are .

Girls or chicks.

I call my mates girls and they range from 19-22 yrs old lol

miss, madam, lady or girl but mostly sister

My parents always call me "chick" and this creates some funny looks at times. Then I'd have to explain the context of the name. It's short for "chickadee." A nickname that stuck.

But I do prefer the term "ladies." Don't know why, just do.
