"When not used to refer to a reproductive partner. Yes or no?
I can't stand it "
Chill out mate, we love it round these parts! 
Literally, all of my close friends would say it. I wouldn't use it professionally or to a woman (unless she was a really good friend). It goes:
"You alright mate?"
"Alright maaate, how are you?"
"yeah good mate, good"
What more do you need?  |

It is situational
If for example it was someone serving me in a store, I would think it a bit too familiar.
It also grates me a bit in personal messages.
However, someone called it me on Saturday and I wasn't bothered in the slightest.
The fact that at the time he was saying 'alright mate' he was lowering his towel to reveal a somewhat impressive cock may, of course, have had something to do with this |

Don't mind mate, though I see it more of a blokes word.
Hate being called 'babe' or 'hun'.
Was very disconcerting moving to Devon and being addressed as "my lover" by my neighbour....and that was before I joined fabs! |

It's useful for if you don't remember someone's name or you're at work tired and can't be bothered recalling people's names when they talk to you so they all become 'mate'. |
