Girls, do you mind being called 'chicks', 'birds', 'broads' etc?

A quick question for the ladies here. Do you get annoyed if guys refer to you as 'birds', 'babes', 'chicks', 'broads', etc. Or don't you mind? Or if your bf refers to you as 'his bird' etc.

To be honest, I find it just as offensive when girls refer to men as 'blokes', 'dudes', 'geezers' etc. We are MEN or GUYS, not 'blokes', 'dudes', 'geezers', ok!

You forgot to include bitches and ho's, not that i would ever use such terms....however saying that, i do like 'dames' and 'broads' very vintage.

I think calling someone a broad is genuinely rude.

Most of those words sound like you picked them out of some cheesy black and white film :smile:

Can't say I'm too keen on any of those names though to answer your question!

As much as I hate those words too, LOL at the girls saying they'd punch someone in the face it they were called that. No you wouldn't.

I'd find it weird to be called 'broad' because I don't live in 1930s America.

I've never heard anyone refer to a girl as a 'broad' before...
anyway, although I'd prefer to be referred to as a 'girl' I'm pretty laid back and wouldn't really care if I was referred to in the other ways...

Don't like it, not particularly due to offensiveness, it's just immature and doesn't sound like the language of someone I'd like to date.

I never refer to guys as "dudes", but I don't think most guys find it offensive, as they refer to each other that way... It's not a girls' word.

I'd call any of my guy mates dude and they'd probably call me the above names too.. But we'd do it to each other's faces and usually in jest.

On the subject of old-fashioned names though, one friend calls me 'toots', which I actually think is quite cool :smile:

Not broads, I don't really get that. It's so american. Chick I can deal with. In fact where I'm from chick is frequently used by everyone from shop employees to friends of the family, so I am somewhat immune to it. Equally to 'bab', although 'cock' still cracks me up. Yes, people call girls cocks as a term of endearment.
