I think it depends where you are from... I call alot of people babe.. I'm from Herts originally.
For me it's more the tone they are said in.. darling can be good.. but said the wrong way it makes my skin crawl |

"Couldn't care less what they call me as long as they are gorgeous, respectful and fuck me properly.

Depends on where they are from, it's common to call people hun, love etc based on their home town lingo. Calling someone goddess and Queen however, unless you live in Buckingham Palace, you're a player mate. |

There's no hard and fast rule for me.
It's the person, the intention , the context, the intonation NOT the word.
It's also the place.... I would not accept it in my place of work or from a police officer or doctor etc.
A sexist sleazeball is a sexist sleazeball whether they are using your name or calling you hun.
A decent bloke is a decent bloke whether he uses your name, calls you hun, or makes remarks that puts 'hun' firmly in the non offensive category.
BUT....... What do women call men when they don't know their name?
Hand on heart I do not believe that all women say , 'excuse me sir but I do not know your name.'
Hand on heart - there are men who will use ' a term of endearment' (my arse) even if they do know your name. It puts you firmly in the position just below their cat and in some cases just below their teddy. It de-personalises and enables subjugation

I really don’t like hun, hunnie, love but I think it’s a personal thing
It’s rather patronising
Funnily enough I don’t like bitch either or being told I’m going to get smashed
Or being told that I’m going to get destroyed
Aren’t I a sensitive wee soul ……  |

My most instant turn off I discovered yesterday. Really fit guy for a change at swimming. Nice to have a bit of eye candy. Then he licked his goggles  why!??? For the love of God! Up till that point I wouldn't have minded being called hun at all. |

Came here to say it’s used as a derogatory term for us Protestants in Northern Ireland.
I’ve not lived there for a while, so I don’t know if that’s still the case. |

Wetting them will only clear the misting. It won't prevent it from steaming up again, which living does. Maybe you should just imagine he was licking stamps instead and you'll want to get in his pants again. |

‘Hun’ is a term of endearment between just us, used in general life whenever we chat, we don’t use it for any others.
It just appeared and has stuck with us.
It feels weird calling each other by our names. |

That would be exceptionally weird as neither of us are parents.  |

Been called a lot worse...!
My guess is that it crucially depends on who speaks them, when and where. Knowing some are opposed to it and others may love it.
Example, I enjoy being called a bitch or worse sometimes when I'm in "role play". As a submissive woman the feeling of weakness and inferiority turns me on in that moment when having a hardcore sex session.
Some people like Marmite and some don't...

I call my wife hun because I can never remember her name, but I'd never address another woman by an "endearment". Until I've been introduced properly, I call them ma'am. One woman told me she felt "old" when I called her that - sometimes, you just can't win |

"I get called a Cougar, like it's some kind of huge compliment.
Don't do it men!!! "
With a name like Cherry Bakewell I think Tart would be more fitting.
I luv a good Tart (delicious)

"Do many women like being called "hun"? It's my most instant turn off, but a lot of men use it incessantly. "
To give a possible regional and cultural context context im a male millennial from Essex. I hear the term used on daily basis men to women, women to men and women to women.
I grew up with all sorts of terms of edearment. (Love, darling, Babes, dearey, dearest, Sweety, hunnybun etc). Everyone uses it yo people they love and respect.
In fact it seems weird if someone you thought you loved, respected or were close too called you sir or maddem.
When I was at university you certainly did not call anyone Hun (and the guys from welsh wales you don't call mate. They found that offensive). Theyv used to get annoyed at the girl from Norfolk who used to call everyone babe or babes. The term they prefed was 'right-girl' or shortened to girl which was the female version of a lad. 'your such a (right) girl'.
To cut a long story short (abd a similar thread) and hopefully I do not sound likeb I'm mansplaning. Surely this depends on the your teginap and cultural context. How you were brought up and who you are saying it to. For insurance I wouldn't message someone out of the blue and call them hun, because we haven't developed a relationship of meutal respect. If it was someone I have known since primary school then yes I would use Hun.
Can I ask OP on what context are you being called Hun? |

I don't mind colloquialisms at all. It's more how they're used. If in a patronising tone? Instantly switch off, I can't stand people patronising me. Most of the time I don't think people are though. Not with me and how poorly I take it. :D
It's just a form of speech they're comfortable with. |

"Hun and lad are just yak, sorry but to hear alright hun or alright lad just makes me think they person can’t be bothered with your name  "
Yeah, can't be bothered and totally not because you can't remember it in a social situation  |
