"Guy" is commonly used to talk about any other man.
"Dude and bro" are the most informal and are mostly used between friends.
"Lad" is not used that often and is usually used by older people to describe younger boys.
"Mate" is a friend but is not commonly used in the US in that way.

There aren't as many commonly used terms for girls.
"Lady" is the closest equivalent to "Guy"
Some people like to say "chick" or "gal" as an informal way to describe a girl. But it could be construed as disrespectful depending on the person.
"Lass" is the female version of "lad". It is also not used often.
