For me females are always chicks until I have a name.
Males are always dudes.
So, what do you have: guys, men, girls, ma’am’s, blokes?

I also use dude for guys but for women it depends if I’m talking about them its chicks if I’m talking to them its babe. Not sure how I developed the habit but if I don’t know a girls name I use babe.
Men or guys, and women or girls.
Depends on context I guess…
girls & guys, informally;
women & hmm oddly enough I don’t refer to males in the plural/collective in a formal context, I guess I just avoid it. Somehow “men” always seems silly. I can’t use the term without rolling my eyes at least internally…
Guys = “Man”, as in “Hey man, how’s it going?”
Girls = “Lady”, as in “Hey there lady.”
Also, I have the annoying habit of nicknaming everyone with shorter versions of their name. For example I’ll tell people “My brother Mike is marrying Al in November.” I know I live in a state where gay marriage is legal, but “Al” is short for Allison.

For those I consider roughly in my age group, guys and girls. For those I consider a generation older than me, men and women. Not sure how that’ll change as I get older, though (I’m twenty-three now).
Also, though, I’ve noticed that it’s more to do with the context they’re being considered - someone I’m talking about in a personal context will be a guy or a girl, whereas someone I have an entirely professional relationship with is more likely to be a man or a woman. These aren’t rules I deliberately follow though - merely observations made after the fact.
Males= Turd; Dickweed; Wild-Dick
Female= Chick; Female
Bear, I thought you got the AR that said those terms were classified WRT males.

Manny or wifey - well sometimes. I mostly use man or woman, I ve heard my parents use dame for a woman and bloke for a man. Some people use quine for a young girl around these parts.
Word, b!
I use guys/dudes or chicks/dudes. In my mind dude is gender neutral.
“Men” and “women.” “Guys” may be used in a collective, gender-neutral sort of way, as in “hey, guys, wanna go to lunch?”
When I’m coaching my 6yo’s baseball team, I use “boys” or “gentlemen.” The latter may be wishful thinking.
