Our new friend Megan has never had a guy call her his girlfriend. She's been told she's not "girlfriend material" (ew). So she wants to know, what makes a girl girlfriend material?
Once Anne, Gale and Caroline get over their initial eye roll, they discuss the actual materials that make up a girlfriend. They also talk about scaring men, how there's no one type of girlfriend and why your worth does not equal your relationship status. Not to mention the fact that serial killers have girlfriends. They give tips on how confidence can be an asshole deflector shield and how the idea of being "ladylike" is bullshit.
Gale weighs in as the resident single host and asks "Why can't we just have a book?" while Caroline and Anne agree that a longterm relationship isn't exactly a cure all. Caroline also encourages Gale to write an essay called "Stevie Nicks: Deep In The Body".
