    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.

    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 hate it when other females call me 'hun'. Especially if they're my age or younger. For some reason tho I don't mind when guys do it..?

    I love to be called "lady." I hate being called Jenny. In fact, I won't answer to it.

    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.

    love- babe, baby, sugar, shorty (because I'm short...not because I live the thug life lol), any made up term of endearment, Danimal, Dani and sometimes my full name... for those special ones that know it. Saying it the right way can give me goosebumps

    hate-hun (unless it's from a really close friend or relative), sweets..... no just no, ho or *****.... even in a joking way, this doesn't go over well with me

    You may call me anything except Ma'am. I hate being called Ma'am, particularly when the other person is older than me. :laugh: :noway: I guess I also hate to be called boring, as well.

    I only have a preference to be referred to by first or last name. Unless you know me personally.

    Love my nickname; terms of endearment from friends (hun, sweetheart, darlin');

    Not a fan of my full name; 'hun, babe, baby, sweetheart" from strangers "oh sweetheart" sounds condesending and "Oh baby" makes me want to punch someone. LOL
