"one of my girlfriends" casual flex.
Mandy. Likely as in Amanda. Meaning one of her besties. Not a flex, just a statement of what type of friend.
Hey now, women are allowed to have a harem too!
??? Get out the house more?
why is it always a programming.dev chud with these kinds of thoughts??
We have the best chuds!
As hetero women we will often refer to friends who are girls as girlfriends. You could be right, but the 7 here is what I just described.
English is weird with that. Other languages have a separate word for friend and for partner
English doesn't even have a word for person who you are engaged to be married to. Luckily French had two, so they shared.
I mean, English is just a collection of loanwords pasted haphazardly onto a bastardization skeleton of Germanic and romance languages.
Not German. But it's usually differentiated by the use of possessive or no possessive.
Mein Freundin = Partner
Eine Freundin = Friend
English is usually the same though.
My girlfriend = Partner
One of my girlfriends / a girlfriend = Friend
