Is It Wrong To Call Your Friends, Who Are Girls, Girlfriends? It sounds weird, but for me,...

No, you are fine.
We just happen to live in an age where every word uttered is put under a magnifying glass.

I've heard women say that a lot. You'll notice though, that males don't call their guy friends "boyfriends."

Nope, nothing wrong with saying that.

You did nothing wrong, they are your girlfriends, and you calling them girlfriends is correct. Your friend is making a big deal about nothing, dismiss what they said, and carry on.

I think the gender people have on edge.
Relax, you've done nothing wrong - with the possible exception of granting that girl from group that much power over you.

I find it amazing that you even had to ask this question. The cancel culture has everyone under 35 on edge. Just say what you feel and screw the busy bodies.

Just wait until your boyfriend refers to his buddies as boyfriends.

No people do that all the time

I just call them friend's.

My wife often refers to her female friends as girlfriends. She isn't worried about any confusion about her sexual preference and laughingly says that the lesbians in the world have a different name than girlfriend when referring to their love interest.

No but if you’re talking about one girl and call her your girlfriend but be confusing

This is traditional — girls have girlfriends.

plankter979 · 51-55, M

No women do it all the time but it is wrong for us Guys to call our guy friends Boyfriend cause it sounds weird lol😂

Friend girls.

bijouxbroussard · F

No, that is a term heterosexual women have often used to describe their female friends ("I’m having lunch with my girlfriends today"). Context is generally the clue.

🤔............girls can say girlfriend..............guys can't say boyfriend................

Crazychick · 36-40, F

I've heard it used in that context before. It's better than calling girls "guys". That's just insane.

CassandraSissy · 26-30, T

I, sweetie, tend to call my fellow trans friends as 'my girls'....

You’re going out with your girl friends/girlfriends. The “girls” are your boobs. I assume they always go with you.
