Hello all members,

Do you have any word to call a girl who likes boys too much and goes after them? And the same for a boy, do you have a word?

Thanks.

There are words but I don't like any of them. They are all more or less offensive.

Please, may I know some of them? Words like those are okay sometimes when we talk with our friends.

One could call her a "flirt". That is not one of the offensive words.

The problem is that traditionally a girl who was honest about liking boys was considered "bad" but a boy who got a lot of girls was admired, so a lot of the words are just really sexist. I agree that "flirt" is not very offensive (and can be applied to both sexes). You can also say that many girls in the US go through a "boy-crazy" phase, but that doesn't mean they "chase" boys - they just talk about them a lot!
