How do you address females?

[TB4000]

This is an excerpt from a post from a girl I know from another board I frequent:
-----------------
I'm a little old fashion with a whole lot of unconventional tossed in.

I have a hard time with men approaching/speaking/addressing me with terms of endearment,ie honey,baby,moma,sweetie,etc. I see it as disrespectful and rude. Such should be reserved for your S.O. are how else shall these sentiments maintain their meaning. Which is also why it pisses me off.

I think Miss or Mame,depending on the age. (Absloutely Fabulous,anyone)
------------------
What do you call the womens?

[inthesky]

hmmm for a written communication, it's better to use Ms. than Miss or Mrs.

[Tao]

how about sugar tits?

[Adaon]

^__ Sarcastic wretch.

Usually, Ms/Miss _________ . or their first names.

If I'm friends with them, then the terms of endearment come out.

Like "sugar tits". o.O

[MD2020]

Does anyone besides construction workers and hustlers call strange women "baby" and "momma"?

I'll stick with the much more polite "Hey you, c'mere"

[Hiroshi2]

honey,baby,moma,sweetie



How about bitch or hoe? At least that's what I hear most of the time.


I mean, what's wrong with honey, sweetie, baby, etc? Especially given the alternative. This is a serious question, I'm not trying to be funny at all.

Try to make eye contact

I heard a patron refer to the lady serving coffee as "darlin'".

Are youuu from thu southhhh?

Ma'am sounds old fashioned. If it's all about getting a person's attention, why doesn't "excuse me" work by itself?

[eos]

a board member at the museum has taken to calling me "dear". i think he likes me.

i hate when people call me ma'am. especially by people who are the same age or older than me. wtf? do i LOOK like i'm 50? next time some lady does that i will call her ma'am too.

i call'em whatevers appropriate for the situation.

[Jin/晋]

Miss.

If you get friendly, make it miss Nickname, then drop the miss if I want.

[mrazntre]

Miss.

If you get friendly, make it miss Nickname, then drop the miss if I want.

For instance "Miss YATCH"

then later on you just call her "YATCH?"

[didu]

I say "hi" and "so ... um ...", and sometimes address them by their names if I know them ... is this good enough?

[Deadpool]

Favourite one: Hey man, sup, whatsup, sup dude, hey guy (I love these. THe more offended the better. Its a good kind of offended unlike the reaction you get from "baby" and "sugar tits")

Lesser ones: Hello, hi

Anything else screams "Hey wants some dick?"

[Azn Retribution]

I usually use
"Miss first last"


my cousins have been using "hey bay bay" from that hella annoying song at the club lately.

[Faithless]

I've been referring to some of my female friends as "woman", lately.

My wife and her girlfriends do it to each other, so I thought I could get away with it.

[sageb1]

I don't call 'em ma'am or miz; I just compliment them on their tattoos.
