About "hey girly" and "girlies"?

[Anonymous]

1) I seem to be attracted to phrases like "hey girly" and words like "girlies". Or referring to things as being "girly". Does anyone else feel attracted or afraid of such language?
2) If you wanted to call someone "girly girl" or "girlie", "girlie pop", etc, would you feel comfortable doing so? If yes, do you do this and what do people respond to that?
3) In what context would I feel uncomfortable (as in why) would I feel afraid of referring to a call a girl like so?
4) Is calling a girl "babe", "sweetie" and other so called "pet names" the same thing as calling someone girlish names?
5) Is calling someone "girlie pop", "girly girl" and so forth childish? Or do adults also use words like this?
6) And finally... would you be offended if someone called you any of these kinds of words? Or do you see it as a compliment (expressing a form of a feminine personality)?

1. No. Sorry, I am not attracted to people saying “girly” or whatever. Weirds me out.
2. I would not feel comfortable saying any of those.
3. I’d only ever call another girl “girly” in a friendly context. No other times.
4. I don’t know… Its not the same at all to me.
5. Girly pop is weird as hell and it sounds super feminine and gross feeling. It’s not something I would want to hear come out of a guys mouth, especially an adult guy.
5. “Girly girl” is fine because it simply just means feminine. Any other terms are weird to me.

Thanks for your comment. So are you basically saying that for a guy (male) to like hyper-feminine terms like girlie pop is inappropriate or offensive/weird and that that at best it is only ok to use words like "girly" or "girly girl" from one girl to another and certainly not between opposite genders? I also want to ask you, what possible motive would make me want to like such words? I don't know myself clearly. It seems I think calling a girl "girlie pop" sounds "feminine" to me and I just like that cute and nurturing behaviour.

It’s not inappropriate or offensive, it’s just weird to me. They can say whatever they want, but keeping it simple and just using “girly” or “girly girl” is fine.
And, I don’t know.

I have 1 final question for you. Phrases like "doll face", "angel face", "cutie pie", etc... are these basically also extremely super feminine phrases? I am just asking now if it's on the same level as "girlie pop" or if phrases like "doll face" are extremely childish? Anyway, I think you have answered enough and thank you for your input.

“Cutie pie” is fine, but yes, all are super feminine and not my cup of tea. I wouldn’t want to hear a guy say those to me. You’re welcome.

I have never thought to say "hey girly" just don't think it would sound right coming from me. The girl I have ever called "babe" are women I'm dating. And "sweetie" just seems like an something only elderly people would say.

I wouldn't use such language

[Asker]

When you say "wouldn't", do you mean it is wrong to use it, or it's just not a choice of words you would choose? Or do you find such language to make you feel uncomfortable?

[Iron_Man]

I say that all the time

[Asker]

How do girls respond? It seems it is very much frowned upon so wondering if your experience is different.
