Gal pal
A gal pal or gal-pal is Christian's CWC-ism for a female friend. Chris claims to have had a lot of these in high school. He has also claimed that Megan said she loved him, so we know his grip on reality isn't very strong.
Chris and gal-pals
Chris opted for gal-pals in lieu of having male friends due to the belief that hanging out with other males would turn him gay and that they're all jerks anyway. Because Chris blatantly refused to socialize with other males like himself throughout his school years, he has adopted rather feminine traits and mannerisms (Such as assuming the cowgirl sexual position during the sex tape video, or having a collection of My Little Ponies), ignorant to the fact that what might be acceptable for the females would be considered taboo for guys.
In typical Chris style, he has managed to drive every single gal-pal away. Chris believes that due to all his "Gal Pals" he had his pick of the girls to make his sweetheart and that he missed out on the opportunities during high school, oblivious that these girls probably associated with him due to pity rather than desiring a real friendship with Chris.
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.

Other Gal-Pals
Tiffany Robinson
Tiffany Robinson was a friend of Chris in the days that he lived in Richmond. She was Chris's first crush. In Chris's words "we would hang out now and then during school hours and play. Then in the 4th Grade, she dumped me for some other boy. I do not know much of what she has been up to these days."
Natasha Turner
