Yes I have to say I am gentleman even though my last partner put me through hell I still have alot to give.

Well mate i think theres lots of us who have been hurt in the past! Male and female alike sometimes rhats why we tend to go for similar partners and develop a nature towards dating that can be so narrow that it leaves little choice Me i can talk and be pleasant to anyone! I dont consider myself to be a perv cos i say hi to a youngster or just seeking love cos i look at a nice bum or boobs! i'm sensible with age groups but not rude or ignorant! but just once in a while it would be nice to recieve a reply to my messages!

Personally i've met females that don't like being called a Lady! I like to use the word myself. But don't you think that a guy has to earn the right to be called a gentleman and a girl the right to be called a lady! unforntunately we seem to live in an age where chivalry and manners have died a slow lingering death and those of us who still practice them are considered to be freaks!

The typical(not all, I'm going to add to that) 18-23 year old male will more than likely call you 'babe' or something to that effect.

Personally, I hate that. I would much rather be called a lady. Babe is ok if you're in a relationship or whatever(for some people) on the odd occasion, but not all the time.

Like one guy came up to me during half time of a football game in the pub 'you alright babe?' 'can I have your number babe'..ugh.

I think I tend to use 'love' but it sure as hell beats 'duck'...

Love isn't so bad.

Omg, a guy actually called me duck once..my reply: Quack quack.

Babe duck wow what am i misssing out on? surey some terms of endearment ar regional! some can sound better with an accent and yuk some are just naff! i spose us older guys tend to shy away from usin babe love etc til we get to know someone better! a pet name is nice!

Duck is mainly used around the Nottingham area. People that say it make me want to cut my ears off and cut their tongue out.

I'm from here there and everywhere! a Scotsman who has travelled the world and i have an accent that puts James Bond to shame! so i think ill stick to a good old pet name! chook duck babe wouldn't sound right! mind you i've been told that my voice is sexy like!

I associate Pierce Brosnan with James Bond, not Sean Connery!


I have a weakness for accents - Especially Irish & Scottish ones

sean connery! frpm my home town too! soz no highland accent except when i go home for a visit! then i tend to develop a wee bit! But Brosnan was good! a bit mid atlantic accent wise! mine is wot U might call upper crust posh!

Duck is also used in Derby (as in ' hey up mi duck'), I think one of my scariest moments was a big builder from Leeds calling me love...

I was so niave (spelling)

My ex boyfriend is from Glasgow. Oh my god. It took me 2 months to learn how to understand him.

I made the mistake of going to a glasgow pub..I couldn't understand anybody.

My grandfather was from Inverness...I could only just understand him. I remember spending a year there, and came back with a slight accent!
