Guys, Why would you call a girl queen?

[Lalalove11]

Just curious what it means for you. Calling a girl queen. A guy has started calling me it. No he is not gay. Haha

That’s not a term I’d use. I don’t think it’s good to put women on pedestals. To me terms like that are used to butter her up, to make her feel like he really likes her. Bringing on that charm to get her to spread her legs. There’s are some dudes who use that term, but I think it’s used more in one culture than all other cultures.

[Lalalove11]

Hm okay so how can I know if he's just using it to butter me up because so far he seems to be taking genuine interest in me but I'm wary. I guess

[Opinion Owner]

To be honest that can be tricky cause the game is played the same way. Some men will wait a long time to have sex w a woman to the point that she thinks he really interested. Don’t know much about his dating background? A lot of times past behavior indicates future behavior. Not always.

[Speaking_Frankly]

It sounds like sycophancy. Whether she's a friend or girlfriend, I would never call a woman a queen unless she is a literal monarch or wife of a king. Putting people on a pedestal with such appelations creates expectations they will never live up to. If you treat regular people like a queen, they will treat you like a peasant.

[Lalalove11]

Going by what I know from him he seems to use it in a light hearted way. But there are definitely other names I prefer. Queen actually feels a bit platonic. Like you can say it to friends jokingly

[Ascendant_Bias69]

Generally, I wouldn't use that term seriously. Only time I'd say something like that is if I was trying to be funny or lighthearted. Probably means he thinks you're a baddie, but it doesn't necessarily convey romantic interest or attraction. It could be flirty, or it could be platonic.

[Lalalove11]

Yes that's what confuses me a bit with the term I suppose I'd prefer things like honey or darling which feels more romantic but we definitely aren't at that stage

[Clear_Skies10]

I don't use that name
To me it sounds as if I'm bowing down to her. I prefer to be equals in a relationship. I still use names like Sweetie and Honey.

[Lalalove11]

Honestly I prefer those too. Would you say queen is still romantic or more of a friendly vibe?

[Clear_Skies10]

To me it comes across as a man that is trying to get a woman's approval. He probably does want to be with her, but he's doing too much. He should just call her by her first name until they're in a relationship with each other. Just my opinion.

[Lalalove11]

It's long distance and we text pretty much everyday for the past three or fourweeks. He started calling me it it's seemed light hearted I didn't know it would mean he wants to be with me

[Clear_Skies10]

You may want to ask him why he calls you that. Lately it seems to be a trend with some people
They call every woman Queen almost like some people say Dude or whatever. It's getting confusing.

[Lalalove11]

Yeah its like saying girl or something. But at the same time I don't want to ask cos I feel like it'll be awkward and he won't want to use it anymore 😭but yeah I guess that's the only way I'll know?

[DryGermanGuy]

Isn’t that part of the „body positivity“ vocabulary? Where even the most gargantuan landwhale gets cheered on with „Yassssss queeeen!!!“? 🤔

[Lalalove11]

Hm it could be 🤣like a very generic popular term

[serious]

It is out of respect that the woman has earned. Respect earned by the woman on her personality and her actions. Outer beauty could be a reason also.

[SoccerPlayer99]

It sounds like silly ghetto speak to call everyone queen. Compensating much?

[Lalalove11]

Hm yeah he turned out not to be the one anyway 🤣 He's seeing multiple people romantically and sexually post break up

[Circushowcowboy]

I don’t think I’d use it in a non joking way myself. Just not my style

[beefcakebradybatson]

Why would I?"Queen" and "King" are basic dull-normal N**** tropes.

[aceleon]

i would only say this to mock them.

[Fireguy17]

I wouldn't unless she was an actual queen.

[Anonymous]

I would if she is my type of girl.

[Anonymous]

Nope
