WonderKid Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Why do some women call guys "hun"? It's funny to me. What do you mean by it when you call them that?
J21 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 It's a short form of "honey", but I don't see it as an endearing term. It's kind of like the girl's form of "man" in "hey man, what's up". A friendly title of sort. I wouldn't read too much into it given no other indication of interest. 1
smackie9 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I work with someone who calls everyone hun....it can be used in terms of being motherly. 1

Toodaloo Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Also used when someone is really bad at remembering names... Like Darling, Sweetpea, Chicken, Love, ... It means nothing when people use terms like this... Never been to a café and the waitress has said "there you go my love" as she serves you? All she is doing is trying to make you feel comfortable, welcome. It means nothing more than someone being friendly. 1
KatZee Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I find "Hun" to be condescending actually. I hate when people say that to me. My mother is the only person who is allowed to use it. 1
deadelvis Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 My GF always called me Hun, Boo, Babe etc. I loved it and found it so cute. Until I realized she calls every guy those words. I heard her talking to a male friend and she kept calling him Boo and Hun. It made me feel terrible. Now when she calls me those terms it means nothing. It actually makes me annoyed. I always feel like saying "look, if you call everyone Boo, that doesn't exactly make it special when you call me that." I certainly don't call other women "Honey" or "Babe". I would consider that totally rude. 1
jen1447 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 In relationships it's just a pet term like "dear," "baby," "babe," "sweetheart," etc. Don't really see any harm or evil in it lol. And it's not just women who use pet terms. 1
