They call you baby when they can't remember your name!!

Great! I pay extra for that! (you are looking to make more than $7 a pop now Jess?) hehehehehehehe

Seriously.....I got a BIG nose!!!!

??????????

Seriously...I call my sister and mom "Baby"....I know thier names.

I have a tatoo.... it's not a duck though....

I'm talking about men!! Women can remember names, but not men.

OMG! This is a true statement!

"They" meaning SOME men!

depends on how its said. i use cheesy nicknames as terms of endearment to those who are close to me. but i can also use them when i'm in an argument.

just depends.

and um.. krupa's a dude.

I'm confused. Krupa's a man, and he knows his mom and sister's names, yet still calls them "Baby". Whatchoo talkin' bout, Willis?

We may need to prove it to them babydoll.

Hahahahaha....you already owe me $73 496.... sure add it to your tab Krups..

Absolutely! I have a really small, tight knit family. When I tell my Mom....."Baby, those chops were friggen AWESOME!!!" She smiles hard and loves it.

When I tell my sister...."Baby, no matter what you decide to do with your life....I support any deciscion you make 100%"...she tells me..."I really love you too"

When I tell my brother..."You're getting old short and fat negro"...He knows I mean that I love him and responds with "You're adopted"

Read through the posts...intolerance is such an ugly thing, eh? Some folks need to get out more...and accept the fact that maybe - just maybe - they aren't universally right in everything they say.

Glad we can work it out in trade.....though gnawing on your bunions seems like it should be worth more than $1.20 an hour.

Ok, first off... Krups has the coolest pics...

now back to the point...

I think they are only offended, if they think your a jerk or an ***... it's all in the woman's perspective...

you know, if they are attracted to you, it's going to be taken in a positive light... if they think your a piece of ****... your an *** for saying it!! (please excuse the language kiddies...)...

It depends on the person and situation to be honest.

someone netted a nun....howd she do it hun?

There is no obligation to tolerance within someone’s personal boundaries. People either respect boundaries or they don’t.

Some may venture to guess a person would be acting like a jerk if they assumed they could act anyway they wished around strangers -- are anyone for that matter.

There is no obligation to tolerance when discussion such a supercilious topic anyway.

Do unto others is a wonderful thing to live by. Part of doing that is asking someone how they wish to be addressed. I was told to never assume how I should address someone (last name, first name, Miss, Mrs, Mr, etc). My father taught me that when I learned to speak. I was also brought up that I should never, ever be too familiar without someone I don’t know by calling them a nickname. My father was born in Georgia and raised in Texas; he was the father of manners.

I'll have to work on growing some first....

although 75 cents a day for full body massages is a real steal.

I am fine with it personally. When I was a cop - I think they guys I worked with took it harder than I did when people called me that. I was the only female officer...but I can see both sides of the coin. Hospitality/culture vs. respect issue

If I reach the point where I ask a person how I should address her I am sure she is not worth knowing . Being myself is the best policy regardless to what others think because I do not want to change anyone and certainly I do not want to change myself for anyone .
To pretend to say what I do not mean is just not me .
