PhillyDude Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 I'm in my 30's and prefer to date women who are 26 to 36 and I noticed lately from more than one woman that they greet me in a weird way. Hello Sir, How was your day Sir? What is this SIR business about? Why would a woman refer to someone she is going on dates with as SIR? Any any other guy experienced this?

Stop dating homeless british children
somedude81 Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Stop dating homeless british children At least they always ask for more.
Zaphod B Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 I've never come across that. LOL. I'm 43 and earlier this year I dated a 33 year old. She never once called me sir! I've also been in a long term relationship with a woman who was 9 years younger than me and before that was married to one 4 years younger than me. Nope, never got called sir by them once... thank God for that!

Author PhillyDude Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 Would that be 39? that would be 35
thatone Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 my gf calls me sir, playfully. she's younger than me but only by 2 years. it's more of just a figure of speech with her. i wouldn't look too much into it. from what you're describing she sounds like she's doing the same sort of thing.
sareem81 Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Cultural thing? Think they have to respect their elders by saying Sir? Just ask them. Don't take it personal, at least they have manners.

Don't take it personal, at least they have manners. that's what i suspect. if i don't see my gf on a particular day when as we hang up the phone she'll say "alright sir, talk to you tomorrow" or something similar. she's from south louisiana, they teach their kids to call all men who should be respected "mr." and "sir". even if they call them by their first name they'll say "mr steve", for example.
AHardDaysNight Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Hmm, perhaps you go around with a monocle and a pipe?

Hello Sir, How was your day Sir? What is this SIR business about? Why would a woman refer to someone she is going on dates with as SIR? Any any other guy experienced this? Well, it's still better than how people get greeted in certain other cultures/sub-cultures. Hello nigga! Waaazzzup nigga!! Whatcha sayin' nigga??? Imagine if women you were dating greeted you like that
AHardDaysNight Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 ^ Please don't bring racism into this thread.
Feelsgoodman Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 ^ Please don't bring racism into this thread. ^ please don't bring monocles and pipes into this thread.
zengirl Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 ^ please don't bring monocles and pipes into this thread. Monocles are awesome, and racism is lame. PD. . . you're not dating girls who I'd consider "younger than you." You gave a range a little above and a little below your own age. And, anyway, I call lots of people "Ma'am/Miss" and "Sir" and it's not about age, especially the "Sir" thing since I don't have to decide between Ma'am or Miss. . . it's all just sir, regardless of age. It's just a Southern thing. It's not really something I was ever taught was reserved for "elders."
FitChick Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Do you have gray hair? Are you bald? Do you wear dentures?
AHardDaysNight Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 I hope he doesn't wear dentures or have grey hair at 35. People can be bald at any age. And bald can be sexy. OP, if she says it again, hit her with your cane!
