    Default ways to adress girls/women.

    calling girls, girls sometimes sounds sort of odd or disrespectful or something. im not sure what it is but it just doesn't sound right.

    calling them young women is a completely outdated phrase.

    there are a variety of sexist things like calling them chicks or babes or something.

    o.k. so youd usually call them by their first name anyway but i cant seem to think of a right way to say girl/women/lady.

    i find the word dude-ette amusing but id never really use it.

    there just doesnt seem to be a right way.

    All men, regardless of their age should be reffered to as "boys". All women, regardless of their age, should be reffered to as "girls".

    Just call them by their first name. They don't mind. If you call them a chick and you like them, they might be flattered. You just have to use it in teh right way like:

    "Hey, you're a cool chick!"

    I call both sexes guys.

    To girls : "Hey guys what's up?"
    To boys: "Hey guys what's up?"

    It works for everything.

    To dogs: "Hey guys what's up?"

    See.

    Call her a man.

    In truth, just say 'chick' or her 'queen'. I call girls Queens.

    good replies. i guess theres nothing wrong with them if you use them properly.

    i just hate to sound wierd or stupid.

    EDIT: oh yeah. i forgot about saying "guys" and "girls". if its a group of guys with at least one girl you can just say guys and if its a group of girls saying "girls" doesn't sound too bad.

    I'd laugh at anyone who finds women being called chicks offensive, and tell them to get off their high horse. Chick/girl works for me.

    I call everybody dude. Even girls. It's funny. It works.

    I particuarly like the word dork though. I call some of my girl friends dorks, and then all of a sudden, they get defensive in a playful sense. It's a back and forth, give and take game. It's fun.
