I have the unfortunate luck of finding too many girls in my life and not enough women. Its not an age thing
some women are younger than girls. The difference is in the way the two types act, think and live their lives.
Women and girls see the world differently. They understand the world differently. And they interact with it
differently. Girls are a dime a dozen, but women women are a scarcity.
This isnt to say they are non-existent; theyre just difficult to come by. To be fair, they arent completely to
blame women and girls have to deal with the same dynamic with men and boys
(http://elitedaily.com/dating/12-signs-youre-dating-a-man-not-a-boy/605586/).
As men (not boys), we have to make sure we dont get stuck dating a girl, itll probably be the worst decision of
our lives. While it can be difficult to tell the two apart, there are 10 obvious giveaways:

1. Girls like to dress in revealing clothes because they think they look
sexy women know they look sexy no matter what they wear.
Women understand that being provocative isnt the only way to be sexy. A woman doesnt have to have her
everything hanging out in order to feel sexually appealing. Women are so confident in their own skin that they
do not care what they are wearing they know that they are sexy because they are sexy.

2. Girls expect their men to know how they feel and what theyre
thinking women use their words.
Ladies men cannot read minds. We wish that we could, it would make things a whole lot easier, but we cant.
Girls believe that their men should understand them so well that they simply know what they are thinking, how
they are feeling and what they are hinting at.
Unfortunately, most men are not well-versed in picking up such signals. This is the point at which women get
frustrated and bitchy while women accept their counterparts shortcomings and speak their minds instead.

3. Girls expect you to pay the tab women are financially independent.
Girls like to be babied and taken care of, maybe they were spoiled growing up. Whatever the reason, girls dont
like whipping out their wallets. A woman, on the other hand, although confident enough to allow her man to pay
for her sometimes, also makes a point to cover the bill herself from time to time for both of them.
A woman likes to remind her man that she only keeps him around because he respects her and treats her well,
and that she doesnt need his cash.

4. Girls go out and get wasted women can hold their liquor and know
their limits.
You know that woman whos hounding the table at the clubs, waiting to pounce on the next bottle? Of course,
you dont. A woman doesnt do that. Only girls chug down free booze in order to get hammered it allows them
to make poor decisions.
This isnt to say that women dont drink their fair share. They do. But they know their limits and never drink to
the point of losing control. Women always stay in control.

5. Girls cant wait to update their Facebook status to In a relationship

women forget they have a Facebook.

Women are just too busy with real life to bother updating their Facebook statuses. They will probably do it
eventually when they happen to be on there and remember to do so, but they wont go running onto the site the
second they believe an updated status wont freak out their new man.

6. Girls watch junk TV women read.

Some TV is great TV the rest is pretty much garbage. Women do have their TV shows some being guilty
pleasures but they also like to spend their time with their nose in books and magazines with substance.
News

They dont enjoy filling their lives with meaningless pop-culture garbage that gets regurgitated over the decade.
Life
Women like to keep sharp. Girls like to keep occupied.
Money

7. Girls talk about trivial matters women know how to hold a

Sports
stimulating conversation.
This DATING
is probably one of the biggest differentiating factors. Most girls are awful at holding conversations. They
arent up-to-date on global affairs. They dont have any intellectual hobbies or interests. And their opinions
Entertainment

arent really their own, but are the opinions of others they heard and took as their own. Girls are boring.
Women are fascinating.
Music
Women

8. Girls eat salads women eat whatever the hell they want.
Envision

This isnt to say that women dont eat salads some do. But they dont eat salads in front of men just to go
home afterwards and chow down on a pint of ice cream.
Humor
Women eat healthily because they respect their bodies. Girls eat healthily to let everyone else know that they
Videos
are eating healthily. A real woman will sit down and have a burger and fries with you, with no fuss. She knows
she can and because she wants to, she will.

9. Girls stick to what they know women are always searching to widen
their horizons.
Women are experienced in life and therefore understand the importance of experiencing life. They do their best
to see the world, meet people, explore possibilities. They are passionate and driven. Women take life by the
horns. Girls arent really sure what their purpose is theyre hoping to find a man to pick them up and show
them the way.

10. Girls need guardians women dont need anybody but themselves.
There is nothing, and I mean nothing, sexier than a female who can take care of herself. All females are
capable of it, but few actually take care of business. Girls like to coast along in life always looking for
handouts.
Women take what they want and dont need anyone to help get it. They are strong, confident, independent and
strong. Women are the future. Girls are the past.

Sanctimonious bullshit. As if those of the male persuasion are the equivalent of
"men" all the time. People go through different phases of life. "In order to be old and
wise one must first be young and foolish."

Wow, we 'Grown women' sound terribly boring, I think (Being 37) this description stigmatizes
women when we are just (as men) made out lots and lots of colours, girls AND women can be
all of this or none of the above, what a LIMITED list of "signs"...

why are people still writing articles like this? I thought we had advanced in regards to
our views on gender. Also, women don't wear whatever they want. the choices are as
vain as what girls choose to wear, except less nudity.

If this list is what defines a woman verse a girl, I choose to be neither, just a female, a homo
sapien whom happens to have two x chromosomes.
1. Revealing clothes, I'm sorry but when it's scorching hot out I'm wearing short shorts and a
sports bra not to look sexy but to be comfortable, especially if I'm doing strenuous activity in
such weather, I would rather not pass out from heat stroke, thank you.
2. I know many women who don't enjoy reading, nor watching tv, whether it being simply lack of
time or just a general disinterest. .I watch junky TV and I read.
3. I can talk about trivial things and have deep conversations. Sometimes it's relaxing to just lay
by the pool and talk about getting our nails done. Not everyone can hold up an intellectual
conversation about particle physics thank you very much.
4. I eat salad, and am generally conscientious of what I eat for my health, not to look good. Yes I
eat chips, everyone knows about how the brownies disappeared, but I limit myself not because
I count calories, but because that food isn't healthy. Plus some salads are delicious.
5. Always is a powerful word. Sometimes I don't want to try a new menu item at a restaurant,
other times I will. ,

This article has a couple of blatant errors...someone needs to hire a proofreader...

I feel as though this article is meant to encourage "girls" to become "women" in hopes of finding
a man that will see them as worthy of a relationship. However, let's not forget that 1) men are all
different and not all want these "woman" qualities, and 2) not all females care what men want.
The only thing a girl/woman/female should care about: being true to herself. If that means she
watches Real Housewives marathons while she eats salad, gets wasted, and talks about trivial
things, then she should go for it. That might not be what *you* want in a partner, but that's okay.
She should find a partner that likes her for those things that make her who she is. The worst
thing that anyone can do is attempt to put on a false presence to gain other people's approval.
So basically, girl or woman, man or boy, everyone should just be themselves. No need to stop
watching TV or updating your Facebook in order to be "dateable".
