Using 'pet names' for women.

[FireOnTheMountain]

I did browse around on the forum to see if this topic had been discussed before. I'm sure it has, but I didn't find it.

Any opinions on using 'pet names' on the women you meet? I mean calling her 'honey', 'sweetie', etc.


I was thinking about this a couple days ago. On one hand, it is kind of corny and dated. My dad does this a lot, to maybe most of the young waitresses etc that he sees. I always cringe when he does it because I feel it might come across as patronizing and sleazy.

But...maybe it is a good idea. In a way, it places you above the girl you are talking to when you say it. Some girls might not like it -- But actually, I never saw a bad reaction when my dad used those names. I guess it gives you a certain status or mindset when you say it.

In my case, since I have never said it to anyone, I will have to force the words out of my throat the first few times I say it. Almost like the first time I asked a girl for her number.

Its a good thing to try personally. A Pet name can give her the feeling of you not being a stranger anymore, since she identifies herself with that name and your the one that gave it to her and can refresh the good feelings.

Sweetie, cutie, hun, babe, sexy, home girl, etc. These ones are fine. Babe is fine when done in a fun and confident way.

The girls who dont react well to them prolly aren't interested. I remember one time i texted this sista girl calling her cutie i was after and she's like "I'd like to be called by my name thank you" I got turned off immediately. A better fish that came along gave me a pet name back and was all for cutie. lol.
