"female" always sounds slimy to me. There's just something about the word

Yeah, like why you callin' them "females" bud? Wanna be reminded of "males" when you talk about 'em?

The accepted ways for heterosexual men to refer to the opposite sex are: Chicks, babes, birds, broads, dames, girls/gals, lassies/lasses, señora, maidens, and Sheilas*

Edit:

*Only if you're Australian, otherwise it's appropriation

I suppose women is out of the picture too?

Same problem as "females." You drop two letters and all you got is "men."

Sounds pretty gay to me ngl

Often, they're not attracted to women, they're attracted to girls
