Whats the difference between a girl and a woman?

Question

opinions please

Answer 1

only the english language......could do this....one could be......the other is.....both will be............try this...all woman are girls...all girls are woman..?...all may or may not be inclusive..........do you ask of feminine traits.......a woman has wisdome....a girl is learning she has.......
both are developing and are a great part of all mankind...every man is here because of a woman.....and his reflections of womanhood show his character..........for no man is productive without this quality

Answer 2

Look for these things in a woman... the lack thereof would define her as a girl... age is irrelevant as long as she is over 18.

Conflict resolution skills
Concerned with meeting yor needs
Able to articulate her needs in a mature way
Responsible to keep a job and fulfill normal adult obligations
Has her priorities in line
Isn't overly emotional or overly cold
Isn't needy - she wants you but doesn't need you
Doesn't keep a man around for what he can do for her

Thanks Dave T as this has already been answered

Answer 3

a girl is form when the child is born to age 12....a young lady/woman is 13-17....a woman is 18+ or when they are mature enough, sometimes they become a woman between the ages of 13-17

Answer 4

I would say under 20 for a girl and over 20 for a woman.

Answer 5

If you need to ask that, I am guessing you are a girl.

A woman is someone that has the strength, skills, and knowledge to survive and to have a family.

The age has nothing to do with it. I wouldn't consider Paris Hilton a woman.

Answer 6

How they act. Would you consider britney spears a woman? You can call someone a young woman and mean the same thing as a woman.

Answer 7

Physiologically -- breasts, hips, periods, underarm odor that must be controlled with deodorant.

Mentally -- Has a strong enough sense of self to be able to resist peer pressure, to resist the urge to gossip and tear people down, able and willing to discuss deeper subjects such as religion, politics, philosophy and books, over and above which girl slept with whose boyfriend and who is going to beat up who for smiling the wrong way at her husband etc,,
