1. A girl throws tantrums. When displeased, upset or angry, she reacts just as she did
as a child when she didn’t get her way with her parents. This often consists of
screaming, pouting, giving the silent treatment, being passive aggressive and/or
punishing. A woman still feels the emotions of being upset/displeased, but has cultivated
the skill of responding versus reacting. She comes to the table as an adult, and
communicates clearly what is bothering her.
2. A girl perceives herself as a princess and believes people should treat her like
so. She is entitled and feels that she is owed and therefore expects more than she
appreciates. A woman, has standards (what she holds herself to) not expectations (what
she projects on to others).
3. A girl uses her physical beauty as her currency and basis of value. A girl may be
so used to feeling validated through her looks and sexuality, that she uses this as her
primary tool to get what she wants in life. A woman, knows her worth is beyond her
physicality. A woman bases her value on her intelligence, her strength, her integrity,
her values, her contributions, her humanity.
4. A girl banks on a man to be her financial strategy. A woman plans to be
financially independent – she banks on… herself. And if she so happens to enter a
relationship dynamic where it makes sense for her partner to be the primary
breadwinner, it’s considered a bonus, not the expected life line.
5. A girl sees the world from a place of lack and scarcity. She competes and will
even tear down another in order to secure resources or a mate. A woman helps other
women. She knows that there’s plenty enough to go around and takes the high road of
integrity to get what she wants.
6. A girl cannot be bothered with anything domestic and is proud of the fact that
she cannot cook or clean. A woman understands that being domestic is not a duty, but
understands that it is one way of taking care of herself and others. She also
understands that in the event she wants to create a family, having a person in the
household who can contribute domestically is important.
7. “A girl wants attention, a woman wants respect. A girl wants to be adored by
many. A woman wants to be adored by one.” -anonymous
8. A girl does not respect her body. She has not yet understood that her body and
heart are sacred, and that it’s important to be mindful of how she treats it and who she
shares it with. “A girl cherishes handbags, diamonds and her shoe collection as her prize
possessions. A woman cherishes her health, her sense of self, and her talents as her
greatest assets.” – N. Mah
9. A woman takes the time to reflect on the type of human she wants to be , the
example she wants to leave and the vision for her life. She has put thought into her
values and what she stands for. A girl has not established her moral compass or values
and consequently, is often inconsistent. “After spending time with a girl, you feel
exhausted because she takes more than she gives. After spending time with a woman,
you feel invigorated, because she empowers you with possibility, and a passion for life.”
– N. Mah
10. A girl has a checklist that prioritizes superficial qualities above anything else.
Here is an example of how this checklist may look: Hot, popular, wears skinny jeans,
over 6 feet tall, rich.. This is the checklist of what a woman may look for: High
integrity, intelligent, kind, good communicator, emotionally available…
Now, a lot of these differences require taking the time to know someone to figure out if
the apple of your eye is indeed a mature woman, or someone with an immature mindset.
However, one of the quickest filters that you can notice from the beginning is this:
11. A girl plays games. A woman doesn’t.
