babe/baby


Question Posted Thursday October 29 2009, 10:33 pm

Why does it REALLy bother me when guys call me babe or baby?? Like I don't really understand it. I'm okay with like "darling" or "dear" but when it comes to those they really just grind my nerves... can anyone explain this to me? Hahah, just wondering.

because its sleezy and makes the guy sound common and maybe a little shallow.
im a guy (18) and i can honestly say that i wouldnt consider calling my gf anything like darling or babe because i wouldnt like to have it done to me. once in a while calling eachother sexy or somthing is fun, heh heh. but otherwise i dislike it because of the above reason's.

maybe thats your problem with it too? sounds trashy much like some of the people (iv heard) calling thier other halfs "babe". this is one you can figure for yourself. what is it you hate about it most? we cant jump in to your mind and say exactly what it is your mad at, we can simply assume based on our own judgements.

Everybody has their own preferences. Personally? I dislike being called "darling" or "dear", because it makes me feel like whoever is calling me by the name thinks I'm young or something.


I like "babe" and "baby", because they're cute and romantic and I like that. I'm a sucker for cheesy romance, though :P

I hate it when my fiance calls me babe. It comes across as a little patronizing, in my opinion.

I know exactaly how you feel, I get so bothered if a guy calls me baby or babe too. I think it's because it just feels like one of those "crappy" pet names. I hope that makes sense haha. In other words, I feel like guys dont mean anything sincere by it, and its one of those sleazy names. I hate it, I feel like something more romantic and heartfelt is a name like sweetie, or like you had mentioned, darling or dear.
I hope this helps, it's hard to explain, but I know exactaly how you feel!
