What does it mean when a guy says "yes ma'am" to a girl (same age tho)?

[ChocoBrowny]

He has manners but i think you prefer it if he called you by your name?
I wonder how it's pronounced, more Fineesha? or Finish her?https://www.youtube.com/embed/KTt75BHtqV8

"Miss" and "Ma'am" (a contraction of 'Madame') are formal 'honorifics' not unlike "Master' for pre-pubescent boys and 'Mister' or 'Sir' or career-specifics like 'Dr', 'Col', 'Prof', 'Dir' etc. to express expertise for adult males.

It sounds bad and lots of girls take it the wrong way, but its really done out of respect and good manners.

[FilmGuy93]

That's a politeness/respect thing. I've called women younger than me "ma'am." It's just a good way to let her know that I respect her.

[Mr_Peterson]

It's polite and respectful, like when a girl the same age as a boy my age says 'Yes sir' or 'Yes Mr Peterson'.

[Browneye57]

It means he's being polite. Perhaps a little patronizing, but polite nonetheless.

[Gwenhwyfar]

Accepting her advice or wishes as authoritative

[Just_call_me_Levi]

Could be polite, submissive, sarcastic, resentful, or even playful... Mostly depending on the context and the guy's personality.

Could be just good manners but I got to say when I catch my self doing it it kinda feels weird

[Anonymous]
