I have never been called babe or have called my sp babe on a first date
Or when arranging a date. I prefer to offer my name and I use their name given to me
But I do like it once we know each other

I don't find "babe" to be a term of affection or endearment at all... actually, I've learned, it's quite the opposite. For starters.. It's a very disrespectful way to address a Dom.. AND I've discovered it to be a huge red flag during an inquiry. My experience has shown, time and time again , when I politely attempt to correct, although a few guys genuinely do it in error and will apologize, a great number will respond to my polite attempt at correction by lashing at me with a mantrum.

I have never been to one nor have any interest in domination but I can see where "babe" would be inappropriate in a dom scenario.

I still fail to see how calling someone "aww babe you are amazing" after/during some damn good sex is deragatory or offensive but I guess if someone is offended by it they should mention it when you first meet a client or put the info on your ad so they know before contacting you. It is not possible to know the pet peeves of someone you meet for the first time.

I recently gave Miss Hunter several of my books on profiling and social engineering. She's read one of them and now sees that people have algorithms & patterns (which is just Math..right Goldhunter).
What books might these be? I may be interested in a read or two.

To everyone saying it's dumb to be offended at being called "babe". A pet peeve is "a particular and often continual annoyance; personal bugbear". It isn't meant to be particular for EVERYONE. What most have listed as pet peeves so far are just things that NO ONE would find tolerable. Personally, if someone is responding to my first text with "babe" it comes off as impersonal. How can you use a title of endearment like this to a stranger? Well you can't (IMO anyway), so it looks pretty fake.

My pet peeve would be the use of the incorrect and excessive use of the word "literally".

Look left. Way left.
One needs to be careful about these personally tests. They can be accurate to a point. There can be many reasons that a person will use certain words in writing and conversation. Generalizing can be very dangerous.
They are used in my workplace for hiring, and, given too much importance. I've had a few occasions that a candidate was a perfect fit on paper, but, it took me a few minutes to realize the guys were completely nuts.

Handwriting analysis can be fascinating, but it's now getting difficult to find people that write well or often in this digital world.

I'm also usually annoyed by being called "babe". It is all about the tone. It can feel very impersonal. I usually try to make some form of a connection with people and it just feels like I'm another guy on the production line.

But, I'm sensitive. It may be my problem.

Lol. ..... analyze all that!

I find it hard to believe people are so easily offended these days and make a big deal out of such trivial matters as being called "babe". Go to England, for example, where it seems everyone calls you "dear" or "love". They're just being warm and friendly.

Now, if it were "bitch" or "cunt", I would understand, but, "babe"? Come on! Get over it!

right here and now
More often than not I find that being called "babe" by the younger SPs generally means she can't be bothered to remember my name, and to me is therefore somewhat disrespectful.
I am FAR from thin-skinned, but I'm sure many members here of my vintage probably feel likewise.
Or maybe I'm just a stegosaurus?

I recently gave Miss Hunter several of my books on profiling and social engineering. She's read one of them and now sees that people have algorithms & patterns (which is just Math..right Goldhunter). While not an exact science it is possible to analyze a great deal about a person by their actions and that includes writing. The style of writing and word choices should definitely be taken into considering when profiling a person. As far as babe goes, it can mean many things and it's all based on context. I wouldn't use babe in a casual conversation to a relative stranger in the street so I wouldn't use that term with an escort even if I knew her personally.

As for correcting a male his reaction will tell you a great deal about his character (as do his chosen words). Ask any civilian woman why they ghost men versus rejecting them outright. It's likely because they're afraid of the backlash they'll receive.
Correction:
"consideration".

I agree with Avery, I was just saying that as to be warm and friendly. To help what I thought, build excitement. Apparently not.

As for Miss Hunter, I'm guessing your not the GFE right? So If I were a guy I would definitely not refer to that, but only as Mistress!!

You could always still spank me Mistress...hehe

Agreed.

I get called all sorts of things in emails responding to my enquiries and most of the time positive :pound: .

Handsome, Love, babe, or Hon are all ok. Using my BBB is the norm for me too.

I think the complainers are making much a do about nothing at all.

I also don't care what kind of terms of endearments that the SP's wish to refer to me as...
Been called all kinds of things. Haha.

I got a few pet peeves for SP's but I think they're more "personal quirks" to help me find whoever I truly enjoy my time with.. So in a way, I am thankful for them haha.

I had a long time ago fave client that I used to call "old bull". He had this deep rumbling bass voice & he would say to me "You're a hell of a broad, babe!" as we were basking together waiting for our feet to come back to Earth. Just thinking about it makes me smile. I don't object to it as an endearment from someone who is right there present in the moment with me, who I am certain knows exactly who I am & what I am all about!

It's the seemingly endless generic "u avail babe?" texts that I get tired of & sometimes wonder...how many other escorts did he just send this to. This is often followed up with "sorry who is this again?" or a request for a picture when followed up with a reply, confirming that it's a scattershot question sent out to 3 or 4 people at once...As for putting it in an ad ? Most of us who it bothers to be addressed in such a way DO put it on the ad. It says 'please introduce yourself..' or similar words. Do most men read past the first sentence? Or do they see a tag line & some pics & let fly??

Yea I was more referring to the former. I would not adress someone as "babe" when first contacting them.

#6 Pooners who park directly in the middle of the gates at Riza's so nobody can get in or out :nono:
OMG I know. Had that happen a couple weeks ago, not sure if you were here then. Blocked everyone from getting in or out. There was ample parking inside the gate or at parking spots outside the gate if was worried about getting blocked in. Seemed a little taken back when I knocked very hard on the door halfway through his session, made him get dressed and move his vehicle. Cut 15 min into his time for being a dumb ass. He had blocked in a client, Jazy and I think Fey. Parked right dead center of the gate. :confused::noidea::Cry::doh:
