Amid the long, painful reign of the “Pick Me Girl” — a grating, arguably misogynistic stereotype that has grown to assume nearly all women select their hobbies, aesthetics and personal preferences on men’s validation — it seems the old, tired trope has finally met it’s Elle Woods-ian match: the girl’s girl.
Formally defined as “a girl who has respect for female etiquette” and “is not petty and strives to be ethical and decent in her dealings with her female friends,” per the cursed Rosetta Stone that is Urban Dictionary, the markings of a girl’s girl are kindness and compassion and the unparalleled ability to gas their fellow women the hell up, no matter what they’re doing.
Embodied by figures like Mia Khalifa, Emily Ratajkowski and the queen of BimboTok herself, Chrissy Chlapecka, the girl’s girl is the stranger in the bar bathroom who tells you how hot and smart and pretty you are when you’re crying over your MidMan ex who looked at your story but left your message on read.
A girl’s girl compliments your highlighter … while other girl’s girls will tell you exactly what brand and shade you’re wearing and if it will be included in Ulta’s next sale … because hot girls — and girl’s girls — don’t gatekeep.
A girl’s girl is the first one to tell you you’re just as hot as Beyoncé and genuinely mean it because they see the unique beauty and hot girl je na sais quoi only *you* can offer, as TikToker @alaniscooperx so put it.
A girl’s girl is always there to support you and cheer you on whether you’re into painting, softball or hell, a 78-year-old granny who loves a good gangbang (get it, girl!) a sentiment reiterated by the fine people of TikTok.
“I wll forever and alway be a girls girl to the extent that it might be a little toxic,” creator @abigailjensen_ commenced her now-viral video from last October on the matter.
“You cheated on your boyfriend? Good. He probably deserved it. We’re fighting over the same guy? Nevermind, he’s dead to me. The boys are watching football but you wanna watch The Bachelor? Guess where I’m going,” she continued, before rightfully calling out Zach Shallcross’s season for the absolute trash fire that it has been thus far.
All shared Bachelor nation frustrations aside, a girl’s girl is best summed up by the old internet adage — someone who is unafraid to support women’s rights … and women’s wrongs.
