I am in Texas. We say those things all the time (even strangers). Guess it doesn't bother me a lot. It's more of the fact they obviously don't read my profile that bugs me more same in Florida : ) would you rather they say hi shithead ? hahaha

I will stand up and admit I use all of these terms.. I don't even notice when they come in like that...O Sorry everyone that I have called sug.. hun.. darlin..Sunshine,.Oh Crap..the list is way to long... much prefer the Steve Holy approach, "Good morning, beautiful, how was your night? Mine was wonderful with you by my side And when I open my eyes to see your sweet face It's a good morning, beautiful day" Now that one would get me to take notice

Let's head on over to reunion tower, and get crackin' on some yuppies. We can stop at El Fenix, and grab a meal.

How does one get across to someone that calling them honey, dear, or sugar in a first message is a HUGE TURNOFF? Why is it a turnoff? Are you looking for reasons to be turned off? Why can't you treat it as a joke or tease them? Maybe call them sugarfrosted buttmuffin or something in retribution. If they sent you that email solely omitting the "honey, dear, or sugar," would you have been turned on by them? Is it just one single word that is such a deal breaker? Have you ever thought of putting the exact first email you want to receive typed out in your profile? That way you get proof they will approach you how you want, not say anything you don't really want to hear, AND they read your profile! Win win. I am kinda sick of seeing that first sentence...."hi sugar", "hi honey"...etc. UGH I'm kinda sick of people constantly looking for reasons not to date and to feel offended or turned off by things that are ultimately meaningless, but really could be used for actual conversation. Must be flu season.

I know in many parts of the world calling a female "Auntie" is not only acceptable, but a show of respect. But that term always creeps me out when I see it
