It's strange that an adult female can be referred to as a "girl" but an adult male has to be called a "guy" because "boy" sounds weird, amirite?

That's because 'girl' is used as an age specific term as well as a general term. 'Boy' is just an age specific term whereas 'guy' is a general term for males. Maybe they need to make another term for women?
