Often when addressing a mixed group...male and female, many of us say "Hey guys,.......".

Why do we say that? Would saying "Hey gals......" be OK?

    Common everyday vernacular, "guys" becomes the Imperial "we" for informal situations.  IMO in the States the language has become so lax that everything is informal
