Is this weird or normal?

I just got two messages minutes apart from Indians calling me 'dear'. One was a female, the other male. It strikes me as being strange to call someone you don't know dear, but maybe it's normal in other parts of the world. 🤔

@ViciDraco That's exactly what I thought. The coincidence in timing, origin and wording was suspicious.

They're most likely scammers. It's one of the things that gives them away.

@Sharon If it was a phone call from India I'd definitely agree.

I find those who use endearments when addressing me for the first time, are looking for something. Usually something having to do with wanting to get intimate with me. I find it insulting.

That's just a polite addressal comprising of the senders' emotion.

At least Treasure it if you can't reciprocate.

Men and women at mature ages call the younger generation dear it's a sign of respect. You must have lived in a bubble your entire life.

@Souls My grandmother sometimes calls me dear, but that's it. Not other older people. Maybe everyone I've met shares a non-dear bubble.

That is quite odd. Let us know if that same dude (most likely) strikes again.
