Pointless aspects of my life: being treated like "one of the lads"
Things guys say to me:
"Alright mate"
"See ya later mate"
Apparently I'm "just like one of the lads". I can't work out if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I don't mind being friends with people but a guy calling you "mate" is like the equivalent of a man being called "cute". I've even started calling them 'mate' now (usually as a joke). I feel like a man -_-
Anyway, feel free to share your thoughts / experiences / encounters. I am bored.
Also, please share any film recommendations. I'd like to watch something good tonight
Also, also, I'd like to take this moment to say sorry to peeps whose PMs I haven't responded to in months. I'm really bad at it.

I refer to my female friends as mate.
"Equivalent of a man being called cute" - what's wrong with a man being called cute?
Why would it be a bad thing?
Simple analysis of this would be you are worried about being friend zoned. Is this correct?
I say "m8" but that's about as far as it goes. You know you done ****ed it up when you're called "mate"
Film recommendations:
Friday 13th
Cannibal Holocaust
Wrong Turn 2
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974
Bambi
The Hills Have Eyes
Silence of the Lambs

Friend-zone is better than no-friends-at-all-zone. I'll take it.

Actually laughed, 10/10Ha, I have my moments.
Its weird that, I'd call the girl by her name. Just tell them to address you like you are, not mate every single time. It'd be weird. And mate for me is more just like respect, if that makes sense.
If you like it, call them back mate.
If not, tell them.
Simple.
And if you feel like a male, what's the harm in that?
Best film recommendation ever:
Hobbit + LOTR Marathon with extended editions.
Vertigo
Taxi Driver
Air Con
Django Unchained
Guardians of the Galaxy
Avengers Assemble.
Trainspotting.

What makes you think you aren't a man?
Watch In Bruges or Withnail & I, preferably both in quick succession, if you're up for a laugh.

It might well be the fact that I don't have a dick.

A good watch is the underrated film. Donnie Brasco. I honestly think it would be rated as highly as Scarface if it was made in the 80s. It's most claustrophobic and sensitive than almost any other ganster movie I've seen. Starring Johnny Depp and Al Pacino. Must watch.
Being called mate is good. You're on of our homies now, but you're still female, so unless you're ugly we will bang you if that's what you want.

I guess being one of the guys is good because you have lots of friends, but bad because non of them see you romantically.
Marvel films (take your pick)
Guardians of the Galaxy <- specifically good
Sherlock Holmes (the ones with robert downy jr in)
Your Highness <- entertaining in a funny weird kinda way, i liked it
catch me if you can, good film
knight and day, Action flick

Woah woah woah, hold yo fluffy tailed horses. Being called "cute" is in no way the same as being called "mate". At all. EVER.
First of all, being called "cute" is largely synonymous with "he's attractive but I wouldn't shag him". As you are probably aware, the male ego is a very fragile thing, and although "cute" is usually given as a compliment it does tend to bruise said ego quite readily.
"Mate" isn't even a term of endearment, it's merely an acknowledgement of someone's existence. "See you later" sounds cold, distant. "See you later mate" has exactly the same meaning, but that last word softens the blow and changes the entire way that the sentence, that is for all intents for purposes identical, sounds. It makes it warmer, friendlier, and less blunt.
There are worse things to be called, trust me. Revel in the fact that you have friends who have accepted you as one of their own, some people don't even get that far (socially speaking).
