Why do people say hi guys and not hi girls?

people usually say "hi guys", it is because in the English language, people refer to guys as a group of people regardless of gender; in french, ils ont (they[masculine]) means a group of guys meaning boys/men. elles ont(they[feminine]) means a group of girls/women only difference is (other than gender) is elles ont is only made up of girls/women but if 1 male went into a group of males then it would become ils ont.I guess that is also why they say "hey guys" instead of "hey girls"
