Do you like being referred to as "babe" or "hon" by another woman?

I would not like another woman referring to me as babe. To me, that is a term of endearment between boyfriend/girlfied, husband/wife.

Although hon doesn't bother me one bit, nor does honey, sugar, sister, giiiiiirrrrrrrrllllll, etc.

I've never heard babe being said woman to woman unless they're in a romantic relationship but hon is fine.

Babe an emphatic no be it woman or man. Hon is totally acceptable and is part of local culture.

I don’t mind being called hon by both men or women but I hate being called babe by both men or women.

I don't like anyone calling me baby or honey, etc.

I , personally, feel it is condescending.

@rms1954 No. I'm good with being called by my given name.

No, I do not. I have a name and that is what I want people to address me by. Fortunately all girlfriends and family members do so as I do to them, mutual respect.

My dad always called me "Babe." Itvwas a special name he saved only for me. From anyone else, that term or "hon" would not work. I had a title when I worked, so that title, my first name, or my preferred nickname, which only those close to me knew, were all that I expected or accepted.

Absolutely not! The only woman that called me babe was my Mother and while being Ok, made me slightly uncomfortable for reasons I won't mention.

I would not mind, there are worse things someone can call you.

No it would not bother me.. unless it was said to me in a condescending way.

Since that has never happened I really cannot answer the question, which by the way is a good question. If and when another woman refers to me as "Babe" or "Hon" is when I'll know how it effects me, or if it does.

I do not like either - no matter who refers to me as that!!

Re: As A Woman

AngelPuppy1 — Tue, 03 Aug 2021 09:29:01 GMT

Absolutely not! I don't care to be called by either name by a woman or a man. Unless, of course, it's my DH!

I find that there are more important things I can worry about than someone calling me a pet name.
