Being called Madam, How should i take it ?

[gottafindaman4yagirl]

A man i have been seeing refers to me as Madam...should I be offended, its only in texts. Anyone else been called this by a man. I am in my early thirties so not old but older than this man I'm dating. Never been called Madam before.

Sounds tongue in cheek

Maybe he's into BDSM and giving you a hint?

Or French

I used to go out with a Spaniard many years ago and he often called me Madam. Didn't bother me but I've never met anyone else who did it.

That's not much help I know but I thought I'd let you know you're not on your own.

At a school I used to work at the kids called you sir or madam. Try being called madam by a sixth former only 4 years younger than you!

Depends on the intent behind the term. There's a lot of things some see as offensive which others didn't mean to be.

BDSM? Is that like S&M. He likes to pull hair during sex which is probably another thread.

BDSM?

Bondage and Sado-Masochism
or Bondage & Discipline/Dom & Sub/Sado-Masochism depending on how you like your acronyms.

Madam is traditionally a name applied to female dominatrixes (trices?).

self Not an area that I have explored. He's hinted at me being more domineering, think I have lived a sheltered life and need to look it up.

Can you post one of his texts?

Geezer Rather not put personal text on. I have just been use to one partner before.

Is it not regional?

Round where I grew up (East Mids) this would be the slightly jokey I'm-pretending-to-be-posh alternative to 'missus'.

my gran used to call me madam when I was in trouble..hahaha

Is he British? My ex was another nationality and his friends/family used 'Madam' as a sign of respect (and used to bow as well!). Took me a couple of months to work out they weren't just taking the piss.

Madam can be taken in many ways depends on the tone. If you don't like madam tell him you've got a perfectly good name you like.

My other half calls me "The Dragon", think yourself lucky for such a name.. haha ;)

My husband calls me madam when I'm in a foul mood, amongst other names that other people may think are odd, I suppose it's the way they are said, the context in which they are used and how you feel about them.

It's fun! don't see the problem with it...

Haha rafflessway brilliant.

I actually come home from work and he shouts to the cats (yes the cats) "quick, the dragon is coming, hide"

mental fool :)

Stuff like being called 'madam' put my hackles up. Not sure why I recently stopped chatting to an online dating chap because he called me 'dear'. I don't know what it's supposed to mean or signify so I reject it.

Oh i tried to correct a colleague who wrote dear madam recently. I tried to explain but she thought i was mistaken and a bit of a pervert

reply "...oiselle" like Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous used to screech at anyone who dared called her "Madam".
