I have a simple (?) question.

I've been stumbling over my words recently when referring to
members of the femalian gender.  I feel comfortable referring
to the males I know of as "guys", but lack an appropriate word
for the females I know (even that doesn't sound right, for some
reason).  The problem is that "guys" is a nice middle-ground
between "boys" and "men".  What is the equivalent between
"girls" and "women"?
