    Haha! Papi Chulo is awesome!... lol yeah... not sure why it is socially acceptable to call guys big... It's pretty well konwn that women don't like it... but I can't imagine Men liking it either.

    Actually, I love to be called "Thick." I think it's nice:) I also like "Fee" (shortened version of my name). I hate "girl" and "Fee-Fee."

    Love: uh..my name?

    Hate: Sir. It's probably out of respect, but I'd prefer it to be less formal (man, dude, bro,etc). I'm only 23, do I really look that old! lol

    For some reason guys don't understand this, my boyfriend and I were talking about it last night, he always tells me that I just don't understand, but obviously he doesn't either ha

    I dislike "big guy". Especially now that I am not a big guy! I hated with white-hot passion a nickname I had in high school. I went to my class reunion in 2012 and related this to my classmates, most of whom were surprised and thought I had embraced the name.

    I don't mind flirtatious names--"hon" "dear" etc., but I once called my wife "baby" and was shut down/shot down. I don't call anyone that and, of course, no one calls a 58-yo man "baby" anyway.
