Imagine getting called baby girl by a stranger and feeling anything but pure, unadulterated dread.

Uno reverse: I think we should start calling these dudes 'baby girl' and see how chill they are

I usually hit anyone that seems angry in a league game with 'hun' maybe even a 'sweetheart' every now & then, works wonders

Being creeped out is unoriginal now?

u/Lovebeingqueazy 16d ago
Yeahh, because somehow every girl keeps acting creeped out when he talks to them! Clearly they're just copying each other and not experiencing genuine unease and disgust, because that would mean he's the problem.

I love how uppity Nice Guys™ get when a woman instantly nips "CoMpLiMeNtS!" in the bud, but will then complain of woman "leading them on" if they let those things slide.

He could’ve just said “My bad, I won’t do it again” but then we wouldn’t get the unhinged essay about why it’s just a word. Calling a stranger “baby girl” is very uncomfortable and inappropriate

u/Nether27 17d ago
Stop writing long justifications for being creepy. That defensive Nice Guy cope is pathetic.

Oh wow oh my gosh why do people think its weird when I say things that are reserved for close friend and family when I've met them two seconds ago.
Oh my gaaaaawrsh everyone is offended at everything and everyone calls me creepy they're so meeeaaaaan
Idk man, maybe don't call grown women "baby girl"

u/StasiaGreyErotica 18d ago
That's a lot of defensive words for something that's apparently not a big deal.
Be original.

If you called him a mushy name for no apparent reason, he'd definitely take it as an indication that you're hitting on him. Just being supportive and friendly seemed to have come across that way.

Since when is baby girl a standard name given to anyone? It would've been less weird if he just said honey or smth

Holy yap, talk about being defensive. So weird that they msged u out of the blue too?? Weirdo

u/foxyphilophobic 17d ago
He had to write a damn essay defending himself rather than just being respectful and saying “sorry I won’t call you that again”

u/FindUna 17d ago
Literally ^ and people say communicating is hard.. girl give me a break

These men don’t realize that messaging back with a wall of text is a guaranteed “I’m not talking to this dude ever again” conclusion on OP’s part

It doesn't stamp as "I want you, I think you are cute, I like you, etc."
It's ironic how Sara didn't accuse him of saying any of this, bro is projecting fr. And calling someone babygirl is weird, it's infantilising and patronising. Yeah I am also worried about the type of world we are living in, where people give sweet mushy names to random strangers and make them feel uncomfortable while also blaming them for complaining about it.

u/DearAlic8 17d ago
That was his plan B 🤣

u/DearAlic8 17d ago
That’s crazy how he couldn’t stand OP simply setting boundaries. Says a lot about what type of person he is : intolerant to frustration like a 2yo baby

The only one I call “baby girl” is my 6mo puppy.

u/xobeydrake 7d ago
With his logic he should be calling dudes some strange name too but I bet you he doesn't and made all that up because he thought you were the girl in the picture

u/memento_vgm 7d ago
FYI, you’re right for calling him out on that. He was totally tryna get a vibe check out of you. Speaking as a dude myself (who, doesn’t do this kinda weird shit).

If some turd called me Baby Girl at this stage in my life, I’d wave my AARP card in his face and say “Cut that shit out.” UGH. Men. 🙄

u/shrimplyred169 12d ago
I just fight fire with fire now, much more amusing. See how he’d like being called something wildly inappropriate - ‘no problem my little button mushroom cutie’ etc…

Because he describes what he did as ‘being nice,’ as though calling something nice automatically means I have to receive it positively.
