A gal pal or gal-pal is a CWC-ism for a female friend. Chris claims to have had a lot of these in high school. Since then, he has been lamenting over the lack of gal-pals for over a decade.
Chris and gal-pals
Chris said, "in my autism test it was found that I get along better with women, well over men."[1] He has always been hesitant towards making friends with males due to bad experiences with jerks. Perhaps because of this, he has adopted rather feminine traits and mannerisms (such as assuming the cowgirl sexual position in the sex tape, or having a collection of My Little Ponies), ignorant to the fact that what might be acceptable for girls would be considered taboo for guys.
In typical Chris style, he has managed to drive every single gal-pal away. He believes that due to all his gal-pals, he had his pick of which to turn into his sweetheart and that he missed out on this opportunity during high school, oblivious that they probably associated with him out of pity.
It is also interesting to note that he never refers to girls as "friends", only "gal-pals". Usually, this phrase is used by women when talking about their social clique. Only gay men ever refer to female friends as "gal-pals", and even then, they're usually joking. Men talking about female companions will just say "friend", or "a girl who happens to be my friend" as opposed to a "girlfriend", because in English colloquy, the latter is implying a romantic relationship. The fact that Chris never thinks of girls around him as "friends" and repeatedly calls them "gal-pals" (which he probably thinks is cute, him being "one of the girls") reasserts his sexism. He doesn't see the women in his life as equals and companions, he sees them as possible china.
