Who Else hates Petnames?

From loved ones I love them, from strangers I find them ick and patronising

The old pervs use “baby girl.” Cringe

in private he calls me Hoover

I dont mind them
even from women much older than me
i'd even say i like them

I call my wife "hun"

My Grandmother once told me she called everyone Dear so they would not notice she could not remember their names.

i like them but it depends i suppose. i never call people pet names though

Agreement there.

Now I do have a nickname though

If someone asks me not to do so,then I won't, but I confess,
I often call anyone under 30, sweetie just a habit,I'm not trying to be insensitive.

However ,I can understand especially ,if a man is being all syrupy around you, that can be creepy.
I was young once, too and had a few creepies buzz about.

I like "Love" and "Darling" from my husband, and use those with him too, including the Danish "Skat" which is the one that like 80% of couples use with each other in Denmark. I also sometimes use pet names with friends or people online, if they said something really sweet to me, to show gratitude. 😸

😆 One of my favorite things about traveling for work was the southern states, and all the waitresses calling me Honey. 😍 EVERYONE, says good morning!! I mean everyone! If you don't reply they might ask you why.😆 We don't do that in cali.

Sweetie pls

Spot? Rover?

I don’t think my GF and I have used each others first names since we started dating…babe, baby, darling, sweetness, sugar pea, baby girl…anything but each others real names 😂

usually i just stick to babe but one time i was gonna say “love” or “babe” and ended up saying “blove” and that word has been in our vocabulary since lol

I call women terms of endearment and I have been known to occasionally use "son" with younger men... That was met with a lot of protest. 😂

I love being called them and calling people them. Can get a little confusing though when I call both my boyfriend and my father "daddy"

That's all depending on the context. I love getting them by someone I'm intimate with but not at all by strangers.

To those I care about they flow like the Amazon river…to strangers it DONT happen

Sure am glad I don't shit all over myself over such insignificant matters

Giving you guys a taste of your own medicine: day 2.

Couldn’t be me love

Yeah, it can be weird, sweetie cupcake railway tunnel

I don't hate them or particularly like them.

Mocking humanity will be the bots end

Especially on the first meeting or introduction

Awwwww I think they’re cute.

Depends on who is saying it

What about "Chika"? Is that a pet name?

I think they are nice

I’m with ya.

🤔

Supposing they're... innovative? Singular?

Well

Every boyfriend I've ever had would always call me "Rover" at first until I finally put my foot down and told them to call me by my first name, which is "Lassie".
