To hate being called hun and darling and girl by other women?

[fruityb]

Slimming world consultant does it - I get texts saying hiya gorgeous or hi darling or when you go it's all hey honey how are you? How's all my girls?

Or make up pedlars on Facebook telling me this £30 mascara will boost my confidence #sisterhood.

AIBU or is it just my serious dislike of over familiarity making me think this is overstepping a mark? There's being friendly and then trying to act like you know me so well. I wouldn't like it if a man did it so I don't understand why some women think it's ok! Quite often they're total strangers and just because we both have boobs doesn't mean you're allowed to act like you're my friend.

YADNBU. Also loathe it. Seems such a simpering way of speaking.

It's either "chick" or "cock" around here. Raises a few eyebrows if you're not used to it.

"alright our cock, owamya?"

A pet name from a good friend is lovely, but "Hun" / "Hon" from someone I don't really know drives me mad. False intimacy. Makes me feel icky.

That's what I really dislike, the false feeling to it. My friends wouldn't use Hun it'd be chicken or something! I use chicken a lot, or angel pie lol
