So men, does it mean anything if you call a girl honey?

Like attraction? or you like her? :)

It's my purpose in life to give people the best name possible, the grandest, craziest name ever. That's what a name is, and all words are sorta like names... names for types of logic, items, qualities. They're all names.

But some words simply don't cut it, or too many douchebags have had those words in their mouths and it becomes tainted. While I like dirty talk and engage in it, certain words, like "p****" especially, have become too defiled. They need cleaning up. They need bettering.

You could call a girl a lot of things. Her name however, is one of those words that gets used by too many other people for too many different reasons. People have shouted my name to get me to do all sorts of other things. My first name isn't exclusively romantic, it's almost all utilitarian, and therefore has lost a lot of it's soul.

That's what a pet name is for. Brother, sister, baby, dawg. It's a name, but it's pure in it's emotional context. Honey is pretty high up there in the romantic sense. Darling is another good one, baby, etc. At first it feels weird saying it, especially if you're a bit cerebral, but after awhile, it just feels good to call someone by a word that is EXCLUSIVELY romantic and sweet.

Psychologically maybe he is trying to establish trust. "honey" is usually reserved for someone really close to you. So if he is calling you honey, and you haven't known him for long, he is trying to move the relationship forward (whether it would be friendship or courtship)(but most likely the latter one).

Or he just talks that way to women. A real charmer he is!

Honey could also be used as a tease. He is trying to project your relationship as a couple already.

Yes, and no. Some men talk that way, and others' call you honey because you're so sweet. Do you like him?

No, I'm probably mocking her if I use general pet names.

For some. But for most it's a pet name.
