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 some obvious signs
1. Feelings
– Girls: They tend to show all their emotions on their faces but women are always calm and composed. If girls are sad, they cry. If they are angry, they throw tantrums. You won’t know why they are doing that and you don’t know how to resolve it.
– Women: They process and control their feelings. They think about the reasons behind what they feel and sit down to explain to you about their unhappiness.
2. Princess or Queen?
– Girls: They are princesses. They need the care from everyone. They constantly feel the need to be loved more. If they are sick, they will announce to the whole world and make she gets all the well wishes. If they achieve something, they want the whole world to congratulate them.
– Women: They know how much they weigh. They do not need empty praises or fake concerns. A queen knows she’s a queen. She does her duty well and upholds her dignity.
3. External beauty or inner beauty?
– A girl: She sees only her appearances as her charm. Clear skin, smooth hair and fashionable clothes are all she has time for.
– A woman: She knows looks can’t last and her talents, her character and her inner quality are the core of her beauty. That’s what makes her beautiful. That’s what makes her unique.
4. Dependency
– Girls: Every girl clings to her dream of finding the perfect Prince Charming or Dark Knight. They want an easy Taitai life.
– Women: Every woman knows she can only depend on herself. Independence is crucial to them. She doesn’t need someone to care for her when she’s sick or drive her to work or provide her money. Her independence is her freedom.
5. Housework
Simple enough. Girls can’t cook, wash and clean. But women can tidy up an entire house.
6. Self-understanding
– Girls: They are too young to know exactly what they want in life. Their goals and dreams are short-sighted and impractical. They also don’t fully know themselves well. The kind of person she is? She can’t find an answer to that.
– Women: They look beyond getting rich, getting prettier, getting good relationships as their target. They look into themselves and pursue their true interests or deepest ambitions. They also know who they are and what they are made of. Which is why they glow with confidence instead of insecurity.
