Maybe don't refer to women as "girls"? Unless you are seeking romance with girls. Either way, I'm suspicious already and can see why a service intended to match adults with other adults (i.e., not girls) would be creeped out by you.
the only time I heard people want 'girls' less infantilized was in professional contexts, this is not a professional context and is an equivalent colloquialism across genders. unit test passed.
Have you heard of "cultural differences"? Author is from Kiev. Now, I'm not Ukrainian, but in Polish refering to "women" as "dziewczyna" not "kobieta" in romantic setting would not be any weird.
That's not particularly unique to Ukrainian culture by any stretch of the imagination. Popular global culture, particularly western culture, typically shares that canard.
It’s common colloquial language. You wouldn’t call your coworkers “girls” in a meeting. But you could reasonably say you’re dating “this girl I met while hiking the Appalachian Trail” and it’s normative.
