What does it mean when people call u ‘pretty little thing’ when u r an adult woman?

[Melnazad]

Does it mean that they think you are young

If it's not said in a playful manner, I don't take that as sound very good. Some one might say it to say you are young too. But it's very contextual. Without knowing much about the context can't say much

[Avicenna]

I'd say it means she is attractive, which is often associated with being or looking relatively young

[humanearth]

I been called that when I put on a evening gown at the beach for a gag
