When I comes to using other names for people 😕 I should really seek therapy! I tend to use Hun and babe for people I know. There are some people from the forums I've met and I use both terms. It's a bad habit. But then I also use gorgeous, pork chop and all other manners of terms. "Hi gorgeous, how did last night go?" That type of thing. But I hope I know the person well enough to know whether it would offend them or not. And those that know me know I'm quite passionate and it forms part of my personality. However I would never ever send anything like it to a stranger.

I would only call people I know and had a long standing connection with the terms Dear, gorgeous, sweetie or love. Because that is how I feel about them after either meeting them in person, getting to know them either in chat or forum. I dont mind my 'friends' calling me these and I know if they do, they do mean it. But that is an understanding between friends. I do not call anyboyd babe or bae (really? why bother) or hun/honey. I don't want to be called those names specially if I dont know the person or have not had any connection with them. If i have never communicated with a person, I always maintain a degree of civility and respect for them. I address them by their name or handlename. I won't take liberties in jumping the gun and get too familiar too soon. We all need that personal space, whether real or virtual, to decide who to let in our safe space before we let them get away with murder. So to speak.

I shouldn't but I do! Anything from babe, gorgeous,sexy and sometimes I call a special friend, possum ;) I have to say babe, is a favourite! I'm still of the belief a 'babe' is one hot, sexy person lol! I wouldn't use them till I felt comfortable with someone. I do use them in text, in messages, on chat too! Mary xx

To use are Beautiful and Gorgeous. I think they're not intimate enough to warrant needing to know someone too long. I still don't think I'd use them in a first message but they'd pop up faster than most of the others.

I only use those terms when I'm being sarcastic....as they don't have much practical relevance for me.For sarcasm... "making fun", they're great...but otherwise they're unnecessary window dressing on a rational conversation. Some words I'm just not comfortable using casually, as it's just not me.

not a fan of people I don't know at all - men or women - calling me hun, babe, sweetie, love etc. Annoys me in 'real life' as well. If it's someone I know at least to some extent whether from in person interaction, messaging, or even some forum interaction then I usually don't mind although it will still depend on the context and the person particularly when it comes to the online stuff. I rarely call people by pet names either...like Kool it's just not really my style. Might use 'gorgeous' or 'sexy' now and then for a friend or FWB (or partner when I've had them) but that's about it.

i will call most women i've met in real life hun, babe , chick etc - In terms of men, once I am playing with them or have played with them then I might though on the odd term of endearment - but its more things like 'hey sexy' I dont like being called pet names by someone I've met online in a first message , when does it become okay, its a tough one i'd generally say- after we've met in real life. I agree that hey beautiful and gorgeous are pretty harmless but not in a first message. To be even more confusing I really dislike my actual name being used in the bedroom and would much prefer any variation of a pet name . My real name seems too formal.

If someone is a friend I might call them darling or someone whose name I have momentarily forgotten..oops...never darling though...that was the pet galah in neighbours if I recall. Isn't Babe a famous pig?And calling someone babe is infantilising them...words and what they imply are important IMO . Like Mary I might occasionally use possum,an homage to Auntie Edna.😎Q

okay so I cannot stand 'hun' , sorry soft There's something about that word that makes the hair stand up on my neck, so it's a big no to any guy who uses that word. Coming from men, it sounds creepy, or like they're from Armadale lol shit sorry Armadale people God help Oz_boy, where's that little man running away faaaaaaaaaaaaaark and from women, I find it condescending. Any of the words like Dear, Hun, Honey, Sweetie, Love, all offend me because some use them exclusively for children and the elderly hahaha so seems to be talking down to you, as if they're better than you, they feel sorry for you, tap you on the wrist, 'there you go love' Yeah I absolutely hate it, even from shop staff, and quite often tell them not to call me that, which isn't received well, too bad. I'm not their love, or honey, or sweetie, so why are they calling me that? BUT double standards here, I love babe, that is coming from my guys mmm makes me feel sexy and young. Hun makes me feel like I'm about a fuckin hundred and over the hill Bae I have never heard, first time I heard it was on the forum here, have never heard anyone use it, it sounds weird. What is it? Is it a lazy way of saying babe? I remember one of the ladies on here commenting on 'gorgeous' and I didn't really have a problem with it at the time, until a few weeks after that, was texting this guy from another website and all was going well, until he started with that word, gorgeous was about every fourth word. It really turned me off and I actually understood what they meant, I'd never heard a guy talk like that before, so it came across a bit like the hun word, I just went quiet, didn't respond. These poor guys probably have no clue but tone down the terms of endearment guys, just tell us we're the fuckin sexiest thing you've ever seen and we have the tightest pussy, nothing further required except 'babe' mmm

I hate ... being called either ''hun'' or ''luv'' at any time by anyone. They are not terms of affection to me but rather quite reminiscent of long fingernails being dragged over a dry chalk board. I have a now ex-mother-in-law that would call me both had let's just say I don't miss her! I do think some words are more terms of friendship or recognition but try to read any verbal or non-verbal reaction. Old adage ... just don't call me late for dinner!

Only people I feel I have developed a rapport with get terms of friendly interest. I don't babe, Bae, gorgeous anyone here especially initially! (Horrified expression). Luv, dark and sweetie I use when taking the piss among my girlfriends and they accept it as that. Ma'am irks me from the checkout chick but I understand they're just doing their job and I obviously look old enough not to be a Miss anymore. What does totally throw me here is allegedly grown people (I won't gender bash) who send you messages with the dreaded "x" or "xx" when for starters you're not someone I know and I don't throw around my "x's" willy nilly like that let alone the real thing! It just makes me think how many women have you "x'd" today? 😳 Lol rant over. Don't x me baby/love/darl/pet if you don't know me and know me well and we aren't actually friends/budding friends/mates MAAAAAAATE.

... qualify for established sentiments. Hun, hon, babe, dear, darl, sweetie (vomit), luv, sugar, ... and even gorgeous (imho) give the assumption that you know the person. I'm guilty of using 'gorgeous' quite a bit, but only if I've already started to get know the person. Otherwise I'll *describe* people, rather than naming/claiming them ... ie. "Wow, you are one gorgeous woman" or "I find your profile-writing very sexy"

Terms of endearment used excessively annoys me, but I don't usually say anything. I have called guys on it when their first message starts with babe, hun, sexy, love..etc, or they start by saying I'm sexy/gorgeous. You've never met me, you're going off a one-dimensional pic of me (at my best, or it wouldn't be in my profile!) And I know what I look like, I'm not the type to get a second-look on the street, so saying it online...isn't going to win points.

Doesnt bother me so much anymore. Personally, I found I was really judging them by their terminology. This I found was because, I had my own thoughts on how people "should" commincate to me. Now I just brush over it. It is what it is and if I don't like it, I let them know. Its my perception after all and not theirs so why judge? 😔 - Posted from rhpmobile

I would always try to use a persons first name when communicating, it's just more respectful to the individual. If I would ever use such terms it would be agreed upon, or atleast respectful given the circumstance.

I don't mind it on here or used by friends. I love Darl'n when said the right way. Even call me your sorry little slit in the right context (and no thats not a first message or a first date) I don't tolerate work colleagues using it as it is generally used in a condescending manner.

Is it? God, what a strange one that is. Missb made a comment about who delivers the word, how that can make a difference. There are rare exceptions where it's meant to be, like a hot Texan guy calling you darl'n in that drawl. See if that doesn't make your knees come out from under you, worked for me 😊 and if you're reading this, mmm yeah you're as hot as fuck. I'm sorry, well you know, just wanted to say that, and I think about you xx

I don't feel the need to Judge them, as in not respond to any message or as some do......block. I prefer to say I'm not fond a particular "pet" name if said "pet" name bothers me. Generally speaking they don't, hence I brush. - Posted from rhpmobile

And you would have to earn it. I dont give affection out willy nilly. Makes me ill when I see guys doing it here. In saying that , If someone is joking around with me I might say something in jest. But it would be plain to see that is what it is.. There is a difference.

I refer to my girlfriends as Lady, lovely, gorgeous, lover etc.... It's a true term of endearment. You won't get it from me if I don't truely believe what I'm saying. It's also fun and light. I want my friends to know they're special and feel my warmth. Buddy, mate and dude would all be signs to back away slowly, maintaining eye contact. They're not words i normally say for fun. My kids never get called their real names, I have a hundred possems, pumpkins, baby boys, etc.. For them. It reminds me of my mother. Darl, luv, and hun make me think of big ol' bogans. My hubby is my man, my partner, honey, pumpkin, babe, sexy - it depends on the moment. Terms of endearment for men I'm romantic with or really close friends, babe, sexy, lad, chicken (sorry!), pretty and handsome. It depends how playful (or gender bending) I'm feeling. I'm rarely called a pet name more than once if I don't know a person. I do get pet names, as my name is almost impossible to shorten. I like all to get called my real name Occassionly, just so I know they remember! - Posted from rhpmobile

I think has an impact on whether more prone to using terms instead of names. If you've grown up in a household that often uses them either you continue the trend, or it annoyed you so much it makes your skin crawl. Or who you've have contact with. A lot of people in my life all use terms as affection. Sometimes they rub off on you. Like Longest dream my kids have a mega list of names they get called besides their own. As far as new messaging goes - yeh if someone says hey babe I get a bit put off. It if I'm messaging someone and we are getting on really well and have started exchanging personal details, I'm happy to accept terms. I do agree darl, Hun, love are old people names lol! I need a replacement for Hun people!!! Missb - hilarious typo 😂

Its online stuff. Fairy floss and rainbows....strangers dont come up to you when you are putting the bins out and call you hun or sweetheart??? In real life I call my girlfriends gorgeous, lovely, babes and darling. I call my male friends babes, sweetie, sexy, lovely and handsome. Most of my friends are from RHP since I split up from my ex. I am very huggy and touchy feely, I love to show affection to people who mean something to me. I was just saying to a male friend today, if people had more physical affection shown to them and had pet names used towards them. the world would be slightly less aggressive. Nothing is more heartwarming than a genuine hug. Or being called sweetheart when you are feeling particularly down on yourself. Bugger. My self abstinence from the forums didnt last long. Goes back into corner...

It literally translates to "eat dick". God, I'm going out to buy a ticket So if I wanted to ask in Danish, ask a guy if I could suck his dick, I'd ask him if he wanted a slikpik? No wonder that guy was looking at me funny in the newsagency the other day

Yes I do believe many of these expressions have been bought over from the UK. They seem to be kind of English, Scottish, terms of endearment, imported. I grew up on a farm, we had other terms of endearment in the sheep yards just not ones I can repeat here

Being called darling, honey, babe, beautiful, gorgeous, sexy etc as a pet name is a personal pet hate for me unless I have a close friendship at the very least with the person and feel close and comfortable enough to call them anything like that in return. Used in a first message is like scratching fingernails on a blackboard to me.

Q) As someone pointed out recently, I don't think it's ok to use most of them on public forums as it often comes with a message of superiority. What about when you're messaging someone online? * You will never go wrong with addressing someone by their profile name, or the name they give you, when messaging someone online :) I always address a man by his profile name in my initial contact with him, if I am the one to initiate the first contact. I think it's courtesy and the man cannot get upset with me by calling him by his profile, when I don't know his name :) Q) I think in the first message the same applies as in forums so when does it become ok to use such terms? * I would say when two people have met in real life for more than once (at least) and/or when two become comfortable with each other. Some people have very strong chemistry and click so well in the first date and would like to be called a pet name :) Q) Also, which terms do you think are ok for someone you haven't met to call you in messages as opposed to in person. * For me, no other terms are appropriate to call me than my name, or my profile name if it's a first message send to me. Pet name is an intimate thing to me and it should be saved until I get comfortable with him :) Q) When is it ok to use such terms with someone you haven't met and which ones do you like/dislike being called. * As stated above, please do not use any pet names on me before you get to know me and vice versa! :) - Posted from rhpmobile

Nothing is more heartwarming than a genuine hug. Or being called sweetheart when you are feeling particularly down on yourself. Personally I'm not a touchy feely person - not even with friends - and if someone keeps trying to hug me when I don't like it, it's going to increase my feelings of aggression not decrease them. Same with the pet names, and to me it doesn't matter if it's online or 'real life' (I don't get why people talk like these are completely separate things anyway, or like the online world is some sort of nebulous thing that only exists in the ether). People are different and what would contribute to making the world less aggressive would be to respect those differences. For the people who like that sort of thing a big 'touchy feely calling everyone pet names love in' might sound wonderful, but to others of us it sounds like a nightmare.

...use any terms of endearment in conversation, it's just not me, but I'm not bothered if people use them on me. It happens every time I go to buy some bread or petrol or a lotto ticket. I take it as sign...a compliment perhaps...that I present a warm, comfortable persona to strangers. Something that I try to encourage...by smiling, making friendly conversation, etc...because I'm quite aware that my resting face is an angry looking one 😏. If the lady behind the counter at the servo calls me "hun", then I know she's comfortable with me. That's good enough for me...

This happened to me in the first message on a dating site , he was quite full on. It did make me question this persons authenticity as he didn't know me at all, it really did put me off. But stupid me decided to meet anyway. Listen to your gut instincts. Those endearing terms should be left for People that you know intimately or Atleast meet and like, in my opinion. - Posted from rhpmobile

... with terms of endearment, especially if it's used by someone I adore. I prefer to customise nicknames to the person's unique traits / personalities, for eg. an ex bf was "Mu Lion" ("Mu" being his frequent typo error for "My") and "Warlord", another ex was nicknamed "Captain". I used to really hate it when strangers / acquaintances used terms of endearment with me because it would be totally vacuous, and in the case of acquaintances, it made me wonder if they have actually forgotten my name and is conveniently addressing me by a generic term. However, I've mellowed and grown to accept the fact that people are all different and those who call me "babe" / "sweetheart" / "darling", etc mean well, are just being themselves and that's how they are. I am not about to spoil someone's good mood just because I dislike being a sweet term. They mean no harm and on the contrary, some of these people are just trying to make you feel comfortable around them and if it makes them happy, I won't deprive them of that joy. :) I really dislike "hun" though. Is it so hard to say "Honey"? :P American guys who say "Ma'am" triggers my Dom tendencies and it makes me want to tie them up and do schtuff to them! LOL!!! When a guy I really like calls me "Babe", I melt like Gelato in Summer! Catch me in your arms as my knees turn to putty! :D

Nene and Nena, lass and lad, daaarlin annnnd maaaaaate. Authenticity makes everything better. It's not the words, it's the fakery that gets us I believe. Soft, if you say Hun and it's real, that's all that matters. We can't mould ourselves for minorities, to be ourselves outweighs any preconceived prejudice I may be an atheist but if a hulking hunk of an Irish man wants to take me to church.

I think that's an ignorant action personally. Let's say I find 'fathead' a warm and fuzzy pet name, thinking i'm impressing people with my touchy feely, whateva, people try to tell me it isn't received that way, that it offends, but I ignore and carry on anyway, thinking it's cute, and telling myself, no people like it If it fits with your culture or family or immediate group of friends, great, keep it to them, but don't inflict it on everyone else. Why would you want to, that's what confuses me, my 2 cents

hopefully those who matter respect us when it's mentioned that a pet name is out of order. You'll have to probably let them know directly and then apart from a few slips it will be fine. I do stand by my previous statement that sometimes authenticity makes everything ok. Fathead wouldn't be my style as its predominately derogatory. It's like: I slapped you in the face but I really meant 'I love ya!' I don't think anyone's referred to those types of backhanders. True they do exist, I can't liken them to the OPs original question though. I enjoy your exploration of the question though. 😊 xx - Posted from rhpmobile

You may want to read up on some of the posts above on some of our preferred rules of engagement. So what is wrong in addressing your peers and women and men here in rhp by their handle name? Is.that too hard to understand? if you are to contact a person here, would it just be good manners to address them by their user name and you leaving your nickname or preferred name you want to be referred to. You start the conversation on an even keel both parties treated with respect. Simples. ☺

What's with that ? Its so disarming, as she's my boss ! I'm uncomfy when I return the hug, cause she's kinda of got me in a bear hug and I have to bend down to hug her as I'm taller than her in heels, but who hugs and kisses their work colleagues at each catchup ? It still throws me Awkward

Honestly 😳 I've never seen the like before AND it's so totally not random for people to hug you when they pass you in the corridors!! But then they also only have a unisex toilet and they provide pens to graffiti the toilet walls, the CEO shouts beer n pizza for lunch and we all play dress ups regularly. There's a chick who gets around once a week and tinkles a bell and we all get up and do yoga stretches 😳 It's all very zen and I suppose the levels of stress require it but the moment they start wanting us to break out in Kumbaya I'm resigning!! Maybe your boss appreciates the fact she has you and needs that camaraderie?

Not trying to drive my point home here but if you have a reread of my posts and others, there is mention of names some of us like, some not, so I guess it's best to sound out the person, get to know them a bit first, although I understand what you're saying, trying to figure women out, we're all so different, and change our opinion/path/route (root ) every five minutes, as we evolve, must be so confusing for men. We are complex creatures but worth the effort. As I said earlier in this thread, I personally love being called babe, sexy, that kind of thing, obviously that's me though, others don't share that, and that's fine

I've actively trained myself to be more touchy, wordy and emojified. I wrote all of this out earlier then made my comment more succinct. (Ok, I go on a bit so I have to cut some things out 😉). It was a conscious decision that I made, as the majority of women I personally know are like this. Men wax and wane with it too. The stiff board wasn't working. I probably look worse now because I fling myself into people (I'm also tall) and when they fake kiss me I definitely plant one or two wet ones. They'll either like it or damn well stop it. 😘😘😘💦💦💦 Hehe. People keep telling me this play is not gong to work. I feel like it is a touch of revenge. Amusement at least. 😜 Perhaps not on the boss though, that's a power conundrum. 😬 It's almost comedically awkward. - Posted from rhpmobile

I dislike random hugs but if someone looks like they are going in for the hug I just put my hands on their shoulders...still gives them physical contact,just not the full on hug Q

I try not to use such terms on people I barely know, but if any are used on me, I'm always flattered. (Even though I know it is often just their natural speech, and nothing to do with how they feel about me).

I dont mind the odd hug here and there, I tend not to give them out very often but Byronites tend to over do it a tiny bit, even the tradies hug the tradies. It can be very funny to watch as the rugged hi-vis clad men negotiate the "Byron pub hug" delicately maneuvering their slender work hardened hips with awkward precision, (orangutan style) lest their groins accidentally brush up against one another. (or they spill some beer)👥🍺

Dear was a word that I associated with my grandparents and unless I'm talking to them I hate being called that word. Hun/ hunny was a word my ex used alot when he was patronising me. ( as he was older he thought he knew everything and had a right to treat me as a child. Both words out of a guys mouth who your trying to connect with is an instant turn off for me!) - Posted from rhpmobile

Quoting 'On_Safari' Maybe your boss appreciates the fact she has you and needs that camaraderie? I never thought of it like that, that's such a great takeless about me and perhaps more about her I like it, thank you :-)
