What does it mean when a guy calls you Princess?

Question

I know this sounds ridiculous but I look pretty deeply into other people's words and actions but this one stumped me.

Depends from guy to guy I guess :)
My man calls me “princess” or his “bite size princess”. But it’s a term of endearment just like how he calls me “love” and “baby girl”. However, he also uses it in a sexual setting and calls me princess (he’s quite submissive) to show me that I’m above him like royalty...
Some men may use it in a different sexual way like the way a father calls his daughter princess (some men are into that... I don't know

But as far as my man, it’s used as a term of endearment and used in a state of sexual submissiveness... that’s my only experience with that

I’d say if he’s calling you princess, it’s good :)

It depends on the tone. It can be totally make fun of someone (basically you sound like a whiny brat who needs to get her way) or if it is a nice tone, it can be used as a compliment and can mean that he likes you.

I call my girlfriend princess a lot because she likes it and because she's very special to me and when I call her princess she smiles and it makes her happy and if she's happy I'm happy so I call her princess to show her that she's special

It means he's pulling the conversation or keeping the things interesting.

Finchie40 · Answer

It can go 2 ways , It can be a compliment or it can be a sarcastic remark. Compliment meaning she is beautiful like a princess he looks at her like she is gorgeous and making him melt , her beauty blows him away when he is with her , or the sarcastic remark meaning she acts selfish and snooty and always wants things her way and everyone needs to kiss her ass she thinks her shit don’t stink and she is given everything being treated like a princess. So How did he say it to you? Are you dating him or hooking up with him? Or is he just someone you know that you are just friendly with

Hephaestus · Answer

Can mean everything or nothing all depends on how he said it o_O can even be used in a mean sense

Kris31 · Answer

Depends on the situation.
I'd probably use it in a sarcastic way making fun of a girl being lazy and wanting everybody else do stuff for her or if she like not asks for things nicely but she demands it.

In more of a positive context it would be more of a appearance or manners compliment

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

It depends on context, and tone. If I'm smiling like a schoolboy, trying to impress a crush, and it comes out sounding corny, that's a fumbling attempt at flattery.

If it's an annoyed tone, preceded by "whatever," or is expanded to "as you wish, Princess Complex," then that's just a nicer way of saying "okay, Karen!" I usually have to be really particularly annoyed before I let that slip out.

boriblanca2010 · Answer

The guy I love used to Call me that :'/ but we're distant from eachother now how much I wish to go back and hold on stronger

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

"I look pretty deeply into other people's words and actions"

Well there is your problem. Don't do that, most people don't think much before they open their mouth or do something, you will be guessing intent forever. Just ask the person what they meant when you are confused.

Harsh_5299 · Answer

Replace the genders in this situation and replace the word "princess" with "daddy"
"you're my daddy. you're the only daddy for me"?
... you know how weird that feels right?
Ya I felt that weird after reading your statement... but trust me, it's not as uncommon as you think it is
(both the cases, "princess" and "daddy", just weird fetishes in my opinion)

Lyndsielee666 · Answer

My boyfriend calls me it because I'm his princess and he'd do anything for me. it can mean a lot friend.

linkywinky · Answer

I hate being called a princess because it feels like that person thinks I don't put any effort into anything I have, and haven't worked for shit in my life. I don't care if they mean it in a cutesy endearing way, it rubs me wrong.

Anonymous · Answer

Either you are beautiful and regal or you are a gigantic pain the arse

Reorx · Answer

Depend on the context it was conveyed. Could be teasing you (I'd make eye contact & smile to convey this) This one would be the more likely reason. Could also mean I think you're a spoiled entitled brat but if I thought that I'd cut the interaction short to signal lack of interest.

shades777 · Answer

There isn't enough context, I don't know the how he said, and the why he said.

He could be a father, friend, lover, of random dude. Any relation to you can have completely different or similar meanings.

Without know any backstory and relation to you, I would assume it could mean "he" views you as a young royalty, or spoiled, or high maintenance, or adorable.

there's no way of knowing because this is a word that is highly versatile.

Durty · Answer

I'd say is just a pet name to avoid calling you baby

aveneless · Answer

It depends on how he said it. My boyfriend calls me baby doll and princess a lot. At first yeah I was dumb founded but its flattering

strateguy632 · Answer

it is a compliment probly related to how you look in a dress. if he repeats when you wear jeans i am wrong its just endearment. if the tone is annoyed princess can be a criticism like spoiled expecting everything.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

It goes back to having entitlement issues. Nothing wrong with treating your girl like a princess once in awhile, but if she takes the attitude you should do everything for and pay for everything that she wants, then she has taken it too far.

stilllanuagthtboy · Answer

Is it this guy?

Massageman · Answer

Take it as a positive. Even people from different regions of the U. S. could be meaning different things with the term. If you are the Princess, does that make him your "Prince" (charming or otherwise)?

I’d say that most of the time it is a term of endearment and if the guy means it that way then he’s probably big time hooked on you.

Part6fam · Answer

I hate that nickname, it's done thing a father would call his daughter, so it sounds wrong to me. And he was just being endearing tbh.

Anonymous · Answer

I couldn't really choose an answer here, because there could be many. He might like you, but he could always just be one of those guys who's really sweet and calls everyone princess. I guess it all depends on the way your relationship is.

Jager66 · Answer

its not a good thing, its a reference to having a sh*tty personality. Usually you really don't need to know someone very well to know if they are a princes as its most often outwardly obvious.

The only time I have heard the term princess used it's sarcasm & meant to be an insult.

Anonymous · Answer

I used to say it to be flirty or playful. But two different girls did NOT like that. One said “why do you call me princess?”

Now I say it with indignation if she is being a drama queen or arrogant.
