How do you feel as a women when a guy calls you 'babe' or 'darl' or similar?

Depends on the age. Older men is okay. Different time back then. This is going to sound shallow but strangely it also depends if the person is good looking. Feels flattering when a really well dressed man says it.

Only man that's allowed to call me anything is my husband.
I take it as disrespectful when others do specially if I've told them to stop.
But I love it when my husband does :D

It depends on who it is. My name feels far too formal when my fiancé calls me by it. I much prefer pet names. Everyone else … it would be case by case 😜

I don't call them anything. I don't talk to them or look at them. Who needs THAT potential aggravation on top of everything else?

Cringy = Bae. Just won't sit right with me for some reason

So why not just tell it straight to him?

Pet names are highly personal. Generic use is FUed!

Babe is cute?!?

Agreed

I get babe, but when in the heck did darlin' move from a generic casual greeting and turn into a pet/flirt/ sexual name?
