Can anyone explain to me why there are some men who can only refer to women as "Sugar", "honey", or "Baby"? It's ok for my spouse to call me these things (beats 'bitch'!), but, really?
There are a handful of male customers who come into our shop, who defy understanding. They have never met me in their lives; they know nothing about me. In fact I'm taller than most of them, so maybe that's their way of coping.....but they refer to me as honey, sugar, baby, sweetie, darling, etc. (The Hispanic ones who call me "Baybeeee" or "hey, mamasita" are not as common, thank goodness.)
A typical smooth talker has a retro-70's pearl buttoned shirt OR maybe a shirt that used to have long sleeves, but for some reason the wearer has removed the perfectly-good sleeves and wears it like a buttoned vest. If copious amounts of chest hair and/or beer belly are exposed, they give themselves extra points for suaveness. Toss in the occasional gold chains or cigarette behind the ear (sometimes a toothpick hanging out of the corner of their mouth), and these scions of studly society are rockin'!
Many of them remind me of Conway Twitty. White trash men in their 50's or so, who must have lived through the Sexual Revolution and Playboy-instruction of the 1970's, who still think talking to women like that will get them laid. (Scratches head) Did that *ever* work, anyway? Has any woman ever just ripped their clothes off when referred to that way?? Maybe, one of their trailer neighbors??
It just makes me throw up in the back of my mouth. Grease has that effect on me.....
