Is 19 year old female a girl or a woman?

I think still a girl cause I am not so mature yet.

I'm not a girl, not yet a woman,

If she conducts herself well she is a woman, if not she is a girl.
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
Officially a woman, but often young women get called girls.
DunDunDun · 22-25, F
I guess legally they're women but they don't have fully developed brains yet so I wouldn't exactly consider them fully grown adults.
SW-User
Both. All women are girls, not all girls are women though.

@SW-User no, we are not...girls are silly

@Fernie I am not silly😂

She would be considered an adult. But her maturity level might be of a girl.

Mental Maturity and Physical Maturity are separate dearie.

I've also wondered the appropriate age to start referring to a female as a woman/lady, and a male as a man.

Does it matter, it's only a label?
Everyone matures at different rates .. She can be either ..
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@SW-User and I think this is probably the real question maybe.. How do we view ourselves ... From experience, mostly harshly, we're often our own worst critics .. To me, a sign of maturity is that you ask the question ;)
SW-User
yeah what matters is what kind of impact do we have on people
people can criticize us so nicely
but we can't criticize our selves that nicely for that we have to be unbiased about ourselves

@SW-User that's a hard one... Being objective about yourself... Too many people are willing to lay out all their flaws and past mistakes .. But forget to add the successes and happiness they may have bought to others

It depends who's talking. If you're at least 2/3 my age and fairly ugly and/or boring you MIGHT look like a woman to me. If not - you're probably still a girl - and long may you reign supreme. :-)

[quote]And when I specifically state that any female less than 2/3 my age (that would be 44yo) had the potential to be regarded as by me "a girl" how the hell did you manage to get "paedophile" out of that? [/quote]

Possibly because the comment indicated that "girl" is preferable (supreme ?) and bottom line, a "girl" is a child. As stated, if I misunderstood, I do apologize, but posts like this, with 'nefarious intentions', appear fairly frequently.

You just don't get it do you. Children ARE the epitome of what it is to be human beings. They're the future in every sense. They're full of vitality and life and dreams and hopes and ambition - and when all that dies away you're left with nothing more than boring old fart (of any age) who've had all the fight knocked out of them and no longer have the energy to go out and fight for their own rights never mind anyone else's. And the "ugly" people (of either sex) are the one's who've decided that power and control and domination are the only way to go and I don't know about you but there's no way that's a childlike attribute ergo they [i]must[/i] be adults. It's so sad that you don't even seem to recognise your own biggest supporter when you meet him. But then you have the right to be sassy and "question everything" - but paedophile - really? that -was so out of order [i]somebody[/i] had to put you straight and you happened to pick on the wrong person this time. So don't go out of your way to alienate people unnecessarily. It's not trendy, it's not clever, and it only reflects badly on you because it kinda proves the OP's point that sometimes a person may not be as mature as their "adult" status would imply.

@bijouxbroussard PS. Apology accepted. No harm done, just please think twice in future.

Legally she’s a woman if she commits a crime or wants to vote , a child if she wants to buy alcohol .

@louey It's that way here too...but not for much longer as the legal age is supposed to raise to 21 in the near future.
A young woman. I was a very young 19 year old.
Swede · 26-30, F
you are physically and legally a woman because you are above the consent age, but mentally it depends on your maturity. as I have read women mature, on average, at 32, whereas men at 43.
Fernie · F
@Andy72 that would be 35

You’re still a girl. A legal girl. Lol.

Out of fairness I just asked my wife for a woman's take on this, and she reckons that "when you've lost five night sleep in a row for the 20'th time over a baby teething something miraculous happens and you kill the baby or become a REAL woman". :-)

That is when the person has to think for themselves and declare who they are.
No one knows you like you and you have to take ownership of what you do.

@Pfuzylogic i agree

Depends. Age is not necessarily a determining factor.
Aren't they used interchangeably these days

@germanshepard it's an outdated concept as it depends on the person. some girls have sex when they are 14, and some 29. so it's not a valid criterion to measure the maturity.

Legally, if you can marry, own property, vote, serve in the military, etc., you’re an adult. So technically while you’re a [b]young[/b] woman, you’re still a woman.

Girl....... After 25 women and after 40 lady.....
