I don't mind guys saying the word Ladies as I refer to men as Gentlemen. I think its just the assumption that more than one person will look at your profile. I don't think it was meant to be derogatory; just a way to address women. I agree with this. I think people are overreacting. But sometimes it is not used in that context and in those cases those posts speak for themselves, as hardly anybody responds to them. This is a fact, as we see those posts get high number of views but only 2-4 replies. It doesn't mean they have bad intentions. It only means, metaphorically, if one man was in a room full of, let's say 200 women, and a man picked up the microphone and said "Good evening ladies, you all look lovely tonight, who is interested in me?" versus that same man approaching one woman in a crowd or speaking into the microphone: Hello ladies, I'm here because I am looking for that one special lady, will you help me find her?" Both scenarios will get different responses. That doesn't mean one is right and one wrong or that people are overreacting. Agreed; we all respond differently to the way people address us and there is no wrong or right. I suppose its all how you interpet it as just being a greeting or someone being sarcastic. As I said, I use the term gentlemen fequently and have never heard anything negative about it. As a few posters said I would rather hear the word ladies than biotches personally. wow, so you would be attracted to and encouraged to respond to men, on a dating site, who refer to you in the plural form even though you are an individual? I don't think it's sarcastic and I don't feel it's a matter of perception. I definitely don't think it has anything to do with a comparison to biotches. After all, I was never referring to the general public who address females or males in the plural form for the purpose of discussing random subjects (that's crazy, why would I?) or men who are looking for girlS. |

However, there is no need to limit the audience to a specific gender for dating purposes. However, I do know that some women don't mind being grouped, for instance in the dating shows on TV where a group of women are picked by the man vise versa. That's not me. No problem that others don't mind that. :) It's all good. I just wanted to be understood. |

I guess I was saying for me; and only speaking for me that I wouldn't get upset about something trivial as that. Being put in a category of hey ladies is minor compared to being called a nasty name. I do recall writing at one point about something I was looking for in a guy and yes I said the term gentlemen as I knew more than one guy would be looking at my profile. So, its possible that is just what the guys are doing too. I don't think it has anything with the way one responds to the opposite sex and I am sure if the guy is interested in me/you personally; the plural would not be used. However; its just the way I see it. Anyways, now for the important things like back to my drink. Cheers.

Lady, for me, can be a double edged sword. Discussing with a woman that this or that action for a woman is acting like a lady is okay. But when a person calls me lady, I don't care for it. It has a negative connotation of some kind for me.
My daughter started using it. "Okay lady" when I asked her to do something, I told her not to say that to me, it is an insult or insulting to me. I am not sure why though. |
