Terms of Endearment
I still like being called 'handsome'. 😇
Really? If I come across a gentleman, I’d still refer to them as handsome but it’s in the way they hold themselves and the old skool qualities that I see.
I actually really like it if a guy calls me “cute” because it feels like he’s seeing me for my personality rather than appearance and that is a huge swoon for me
Yes and it’s a common theme for guys, even total strangers that we just meet to refer to us as sexy, beautiful, cute, hot and any number of descriptive words on our appearance. I think a lot of the time it isn’t even taken seriously unless you particularly like that person.
I rarely comment on a guys appearance unless I’m interested in them and wondered what they like to be called. I’d refer to them as “hot” mostly. But I’ve met a couple of guys in RL that I considered “fine” and way out of my league.
When traditional English adjectives aren't good enough for 'youngsters', who foolishly consider slang usage to be 'cool' and superior... only to later realise that they were simply bandwagon jumping tools...
Yes, Darling.
I still love being called handsome. My Cancer calls me "handsome man" and every now and then, she'll tell me I look like a fuck boy. I like em both lol
I've learned to embrace the fuck boy -ism
lol at fuck boy, that’d be when you’re getting freaky with it! 😉
I find it Interesting that you guys like to be called handsome.
Back in the 90’s we use to call a guy Spunky, or handsome in the 80’s lol, haven’t heard those terms in a while.
What are some of the terms of endearment that make “YOU” feel desired or special and the only one SO has eyes for?
Are men told how attractive they are as often as women are told?
My partners have called me babe, bear, babu, baby, handsome, Honey, Hun, Sparky(🙄), Pendejo (🙄🙄🙄) a few others I can't remember or will take to my grave lol. Generally speaking, I'm all for it so long as it's authentic or good-humored.
As for your second question. Definitely not and it would be nice to be appreciated more in that way BUT honestly all my partners let me know to varying degrees what they thought of my appearance some more often than others but definitely not as much as I let them know.

Hmm, I call everyone babe, hun, sweetheart whether it’s my girls, friends or male mates. But don’t often refer to guys as hot or sexy, not sure why?
Told Pisces he was easy on the eye when he referred to himself as not being overly attractive and he laughed. Maybe I should have just said he’s a hottie because to me he is, but we aren’t dating so I have my reservations.
Would you prefer to be told point blank that we think your hot?

I find that term offensive and degrading.
I use "handsome" "sexy" "hot" "yummy" "babe" or "Baby" and "pretty" for the most part.
I've used "pookie" "sunshine" "honey" "my dear" "my love" as little pet names.
I have never heard a guy not appreciating being called handsome. Thats the equivalent of calling a woman "beautiful"?!?!?!

Not saying they wouldn’t appreciate being called handsome but how often do you hear it being used nowadays?
I like being told beautiful or very beautiful, that to me is inside and out 🙂

I wouldn't call her whole person WAP but...experience has shown letting her know she got that good good has tended to be an important validation 😄

Lol I'm guessing this means you don't do any form of dirty talk in the bedroom?

Well that’s a different story... I was talking about conversations in general at a bar. I don’t have a SO to go there atm. So if a random said that to me I’d probably punch them lmao.
Plus, we don’t really use that slang down under. There’s a lot of American slang which bypasses the majority of us here.
Ladies and Gentlemen, a word of caution ...if your SO uses a term of endearment that he/she usually does not use ....prick those ears, 9/10 somethings up lol.
😏🤭
Well now that it’s confirmed they love it, maybe we should loosen our tongues a little and let our men know how sexy and handsome we think they are!
I only gets call fine (but never handsome tho I'm sure some see me as handsome) by certain folks of certain zodiac signs. I don't know how many times I've heard that word "fine" thrown my way. I just look at them with a smirk on my face (and a rather confused expression if you will) as if I don't know what to make of it and keep it moving. Even some of my nieces says I'm pretty. So it has to be true if THEY (my own nieces) says it.
I honestly don't know how I feel about all of that. I'd much prefer people keep their terms of endearment of me to themselves as I don't know how to respond to it without making myself sound like a narcissistic jerk and embarrass myself in the process.
I may come off on this site as a showoff because none of you can see me but in reality I'm just a really shy ass who couldn't care less about being called handsome or pretty. I rather just get looked at as a regular normal man like other men gets looked at and accepted as.

I'm on first name terms ...lol. jk.
I don't do the cute namea, but i do pay compliments however, when due and true.
When they smell exceptionally nice, or look good in a situation ...or say something clever, I'll let it be known how they make me feel.

Love it when they smell good and yes I’ll definitely compliment that straight away

I hear it all the time 🤷♀️
Guess it depends on where you live.
I'm from a part of the world where most people, from random strangers to the grocery lady, call you "sweetheart", "love", "flower", "pet", "honey" and other endearing words, which mean "I'm bored, polite, or happy to take your money" lol.
I personally feel that there is a big difference between calling someone "darling" or "my darling". The former feels cold and patronizing, the latter warm and bonding. So I pay more attention to "my" than to the actual endearing word.
Then there are endearing words, and there are compliments! Handsome, beautiful, gorgeous, sexy, cute, pretty and other compliments are better used when you actually see the person, rather than by text. The former feels like a genuine compliment, the latter like a trivia.
Any takers on “Spunky?” 😆
I surely hope not 😄

Didn’t think so but I was surprised that you guys actually like handsome!
Germany is reserved and very liberal, so terms of endearment are either never used or labeled as sexist. Schatz (treasure) is still in use though.
My aries ex called me querido I liked that a lot, and I had a taurus girl we snuggled a lot and used baby nicknames, like Wuschel Puschel and Schnuckelchen.

Isn't spunk(y) slang for sperm? 🤔
Spunk lol
🤣More commonly used by English folk. Must remember to delete search history.
I mean, wth ...my SO is not a mere biological substance ....or are we?
Lol Spunky is like feisty though, courageous brave almost to the point of rambunctiousness.
