Okay, question

Ladies, do you find it annoying if men call you babe/darling/lovely or whatever? Or not really?

Men, do you call ladies with such names? U ever been told something like “please don’t call me that?”

Personally, I don’t mind it, and with some more than others, I do love being called darling or lovely x

Over to you guys

I call my wife darling but I wouldn’t call someone I didn’t know it. I think it’s quite belittling when it comes from a stranger.

In Newcastle people say “Bonny lad” as a term of endearment towards men but unless that comes from someone much older I find that quite belittling as well.

Baby, babe, babs or any other variation can get to fuck.

Same as honey, treacle, sweetie, darling and all the others.

Hate it if I don't know someone but I love certain names as signs of affection especially from a lover.

My widely used nickname used to be lovely,from being about 24 too so obviously strangers would call me that ,although that is slightly different.

I have managed to almost,have everyone revert back to my actual name

I have such a soft spot for older men who use ‘sweetheart’ etc, in a non sexual way. I wouldn’t object to that in a million years as I think it’s adorable, and reminds me of my dad and papa (grandad).

But being called hun/babe etc by guys on here makes me cringe.

I don’t mind ‘lovely’ at all.

What about the tricky situation of avoiding names that an ex has used?

Reply privately (closed, thread got too big)

By *aitonelMan over a year ago

Travelling

For some it's just habit, sometimes a regional thing.

Just as we may view a certain word/pet name as insulting, condescending, or irritating, somebody else will just view it as being friendly.

A lot of the time such words will be used in an attempt to bring a familiarity to a conversation, an attempt at being friendly with strangers. I barely ever view them as anything else, even the ones i don't enjoy - mate and more recently "lad" /"lid" get thrown around here I just accept as that's the way they talk.

So long as respect is being used in all other points of the interaction.

It is different if somebody has specifically asked not to refer to them as such.

I am guilty of calling people love, lovely, babe. Usually to people I know or am familiar with but I may say it occasionally to a person as an added expression of gratitude.

They are universally used terms of endearment towards all sexes when I am being genuinly nice and friendly towards people.

We rarely use terms of endearment towards others.

I really don't mind how people express themselves.

Different personalities, perspectives and backgrounds is all.

Hun was massively overused at one point, so that can result in an eye roll on occasion when used too often.

What a lovely bloke you are. You've no idea the dynamic between a couple, and no right to judge though. Perhaps best not go around pretending that you like to assault people for made up infractions of your moral compass though, because some might argue that assaulting people might just be a bit worse than calling someone a name.
