I have the unfortunate luck of
finding too many girls in my life and not enough women. It’s 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 isn’t to say they are
non-existent, they’re just difficult to come by. To be fair, they aren’t
completely to blame women and girls have to deal with the same dynamic with
men and boys.
As men (not boys), we have to make
sure we don’t get stuck dating a girl, it’ll probably be the worst decision of
our lives. While it can be difficult to tell the two apart, there are 10
obvious giveaways:
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 isn’t the only way to be sexy. A woman doesn’t 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.
Girls expect their men to know how they feel and what they’re 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 can’t.
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.
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 don’t
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 doesn’t need his cash.
Girls go out and get wasted – women can hold their liquor and know
their limits.
You know that woman who’s hounding
the table at the clubs, waiting to pounce on the next bottle? Of course, you
don’t. A woman doesn’t do that. Only girls chug down free booze in order to get
hammered – it allows them to make poor decisions.
This isn’t to say that women don’t
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.
Girls can’t 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
won’t go running onto the site the second they believe an updated status won’t
freak out their new man.
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.
They don’t enjoy filling their lives
with meaningless pop-culture garbage that gets regurgitated over the decade.
Women like to keep sharp. Girls like to keep occupied.
Girls talk about trivial matters – women know how to hold a
stimulating conversation.
This is probably one of the biggest
differentiating factors. Most girls are awful at holding conversations. They
aren’t up-to-date on global affairs. They don’t have any intellectual hobbies
or interests. And their opinions aren’t really their own, but are the opinions
of others they heard and took as their own. Girls are boring. Women are
fascinating.
Girls eat salads – women eat whatever the hell they want.
This isn’t to say that women don’t
eat salads – some do. But they don’t eat salads in front of men just to go home
afterwards and chow down on a pint of ice cream.
Women eat healthily because they
respect their bodies. Girls eat healthily to let everyone else know that they
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.
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 aren’t really sure what their
purpose is – they’re hoping to find a man to pick them up and show them the
way.
