How should a man respond when a woman answers the telephone?

When a man calls another man, the guy receiving the phone call answers with a hello or something and then the caller will go something like “hey bro!” Or “what’s up man?” Or “broooo what’s up?” Etc. (If the man answering can see who is calling he also may just answer with a “bro!” Or something too).

As a man calling a woman, you can’t really do the same. One also has to be very careful. Like it is not a good idea after she answers to start with “hey baby” or “hello darling” etc. A plain “hello how are you?” Seems uncreative and boring.

Ladies, help a guy out who is drowning here.
