This may be a strange topic but recently i have had several girls, some of them my regular girls ask me not to call them babe for one reason or another. One is a facebook friend of mine and her BF has seen me refer to her as babe before. To me it is just the way i talk. it's not a term of endearment really. FB is the way I communicate with this girl to see when she is working. Another girl has told me it makes her uncomfortable. and a third has ask me not to text it to her phone because her BF might see it. This is all about the word "babe'. and these are strippers for God's sake! I have since assured all these girls that I won't contact them at all for dances in the club or anything outside of it. which I've met two them OTC before. Thoughts guys...
Has someone forgotten dancers are no different than the rest of us in the world just with a different job .. People have aversions to all sorts of pet names so why not ask them what they would prefer since you do not mean it in a romantic context .. Personally i dont mind Babe i use it towards both guys n girls usually when i consider them someone i genuinely like and find fun to hang out with
@ Slick - what's wrong with Sonny n Cher? That's a great song:
"You say your laps won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, your money's all been spent
I guess that's so, you don't save a lot
But at least I'm sure of all the extras that I bought
I have learned the hard way not to address women you are not in a relationship with as babe, baby, honey, beautiful, etc. For some reason, it creeps them out. I just address strippers by their stage name.
I see most on here see my point. Cool I didn't think I was being too forward. I just had a conversation with another dancer at the same club about an hour ago she agreed that 'babe' is just a general term for a female and that the girl or her BF should not have gotten upset.And then she gave me her number and jokingly said I could text her by babe:) Oh and she is hot so maybe I will just start getting dances from her.
Who do you think you are? Have some respect! They expect you to have done at least 3 years in prison before you start calling them babe! These women have standards!
To be honest, it does sound kind of creepy. I personally never even say a name when I'm texting or messaging someone, since it seems totally unnecessary to me. It's your prerogative how to take it, but when several girls have asked you not to do it, it just seems like you're trying to force a term of endearment where it isn't wanted, even though you say that's not how you mean it.
I call dancers by either their stage name or their real name. A lot of women view babe as an insulting term and in our home my wife and I have a strict rule against calling each other baby or babe simply because every couple we know that did so is now divorced.
I can see 2 reasons why a dancer would not like to be referred to as “babe†– IMO
1) some women w/ a feminist streak may consider the term inappropriate or somewhat chauvinistic
2) some dancers may feel that there are certain boundaries/areas that are only reserved for their S.O. and may not like a customer encroaching that “S.O. zone†– thus they may feel certain things that are of a romantic and/or personal level should not be mixed with business

No, they are girls. Girls are used to being called babe by their boyfriends, not custies. I'm sure there are girls that don't mind, tho.
If she dont like th as t tell her to get a job at Toys Are Us

Babe
We got OTC babe. We got OTC babe"
I'm not one to quibble, but I'm fairly certain the correct term is "sugar lips"
I have never been asked not to refrain from that. I think calling a babe is more respectable than something like "hey ho lets hookup"

Just my thoughts – I’m not a woman :)
You are in the friend zone, friggin don't use "Babe," "Hun," "Sweet Tits" or term belonging a couple who are in a legit sexual/romantic relationship.
