Terms of endearment...
Jump to: Newest in thread
I don't like some of those terms to be honest even though lots of people think are acceptable. O mentioned a number of times I find it rather uncomfortable when the young guy at the local coop calls me mate when I go to pay and sometimes pal. I sort of let it go though do feel sometimes replying with something like sweetheart, see how he feels  |

Do women use any terms of endearment towards men?
I am always immediately distrusting of anyone who utilises the term ‘dear’.
Mind you, I am a mistrusting sort of dude at the best of times.
A miserable git in actual fact….

"I've been called dear a few times by 20 something men on here, makes me feel so bloody old!"
A dear, a female dear. Ray, a drop of golden sun. Me, a name I call myself. Far, a long, long way to run.  |

I think it depends what area they’re from, for me the norm is ‘chick’ or ‘bab’ I don’t think they are on the endearment level though lol but I notice around the country it changes so much x |

"I use 'duck' rather a lot 
People generally seem to let it pass but maybe I'm a marked woman  "
i had a friend from derby that said that often also. He called me "dread", which i quite liked. |

Doesn't bother me in the slightest, it doesn't even register most of the time. People get offended over anything these days. Someone smiles and says 'thanks love' with a smile, and someone gets offended, I don't personally get it. |

I had a work colleague who was genuinely an awesome guy and got on so well with him... But he'd always use the word "buddy" and it never didn't sound condescending |

"I feel rather uneasy when people younger than me call me "sweetheart" etc.
Does anyone else feel this way?!"
I like it when he calls me beautiful or baby. I have been princess in the past.
I love it when those who mean something to me call me terms of endearment, it means something. However, I don't object to someone calling me Hun or something like that if I'm in a shop, it's friendly and invariably harmless. You can generally tell by the tone. Cumdumpster or similar would not be appropriate in that situation so would take umbridge at that. |

I've got a customer who insisted on calling me "chap" all the fucking time!!!
Despite me telling him not to, he still does it bh accident a couple of days, which makes me want to instantly put my tools back in my van, and tell him to royaly get fucked!!!!
But obviously I don't, because I'm faf too nice for that |

When a young guy calls me princess or baby girl
Or if a young person tells me to be a good little girl for daddy or mommy I can’t take it seriously these people still have cradle marks on their ass cheeks |

"I'd really love to be able to say 'dude!' and 'bro!' without looking and sounding ridiculous
I can't even say the f word. Not cut out for 'swearing' apparently "
I have found myself saying it more easily recently. I put my previous reluctance to swear down to never having even heard the word 'shit' until I started school. Then when I said it at home my mum threatened to take me to the police station  |

Not long ago there was a bit of a thing in the media about calling women 'love' and how it was patronising and often belittling. And I absolutely understood that because I've definitely seen it used that way online in particular ('Listen love').
But at the same time, it's entirely common where I'm from, and it's not just men who use it. If you're served by a woman in a shop she may well say 'There you go my love' as she hands your item over. If you see someone in the street who seems unsure where they're going it's considered perfectly acceptable to say 'Are you alright my love?' |
