Girls that call guys mate - Is it cool?
Here in Australia we have a growing epidemic, women calling guys “Mate”
I don’t go for it, I admit I am someone who enjoys calling someone bud, buddy, chief, captain, dude and even mate, but for some reason I have a hard time being called “Mate” from a female.
I don’t know why?
I sometimes think is it because these women have infiltrated our terms of endearment? And by our I mean us guys, I don’t hear women calling other women mate, nor do I hear guys calling women mate?
Am I alone here?
What is seriously going on?
How do I approach the subject too by the way?
How can you tell a woman you prefer not to be called mate?
I mean they have said it because they are being friendly, I don’t have a problem with that.
It just sounds funny coming from a woman.
What if you tell a woman you don’t like to be called mate and then she hears a guy call you mate, what then?
What happened to the sweet names women call guys?
I know some of the older women I deal with call me things like Love or Lovey, I am cool with that, in fact I really like it, I just have trouble with mate.
Let me know what you think, let me know I am not alone.
