Should a woman who opens up a text conversation with " Hey handsome" be a red flag?

[Mazer]

I have been seeing six women this month and three of those women always initiate text conversations with "Hey handsome". These three turn out to be low quality, the other three seem to be normal and open a conversation with a good morning or similar. Is this an opening line that low quality girls have. Is there a correlation. Any experience? Reminds me of dudes who open with hey beautiful.

Love bombing tactic.

Any opinion on love bombing? Learning about the idea of it fairly recently, seems to be exactly what I've had an experience with recently.

Overthink alert. Cut that bad behavior.

It's nothing more than a slightly more personal level of social communication. Means nothing. I've had grocery cashiers use the word Honey with me before. I usually throw them a joke line about us not having been on a date yet in return.
For the Handsome remark, a simple joking We both agree on that, reply will do.

 

[ubercat]

Yeah and if she's got tits that's a red flag too. Geez guys it's a girl not a bomb to defuse. Don't take her seriously have fun rinse and repeat.

Go will the flow, and if she smacks you on the ass, say:

"lay OFF, that's private property!"

A bit extreme, but you have to start establishing your frame at the start of any convo. He's talking about texts btw.

Interesting. What kind of reactions have you gotten?

These girls who call you honey or sweetie always puzzle me. I know they say it to everyone, I'm just a little confused as to why. Are they just very personable, friendly, and outgoing? Or are they confused as to where appropriate boundaries with strangers and/or clients should be?

 

[Sandres22]

That's interesting! I think she likes you.

Yeah, in my recent experience, it means she probably talks to her friends about you like that as well. It's good to have friends of friends = constant and never-ending new and fresh poon.

I'm getting "Sweetie" a lot lately from OLDER women who are complete strangers - like my first encounter with them. It's bizarre and I nuance it almost as if I think it's bizarre. They can see it in my face slightly. I don't know WHY they do it. Could be just bad social skills. I mean, there are other people standing (all strangers) around as well. I just let her do it, even though I'm a bit puzzled and my face may Slightly show I'm puzzled (not overtly). It's a calibration to not seem offended and to accept her kind gesture of "sweetie." I take it all in stride. And I'll grin and turn my head. It takes being around and FVCKING dozens of females to be able to implement the subtleties and weave in and out to confuse them right back, a "back at ya" "awwww" "she called me 'sweetie'..." "well, I do have my faults, but..." "I've been known to put a woman in tune with Nature..." Just don't get fired or embarrass yourself with your comebacks.

Sweetie is my least favorite "term of endearment".

I appreciate your reply here. Thanks!

 

[BetterCallSaul]

Ok what terms of endearment do you use with women, such as working on a new possible plate? I always used the generic 'babe'..seemed to work.

Damn it. I miss flirting in the workplace. Career chicks r so unfeminine now. They all stride around like men and r so aggressive. Women used to provide balance. Now it's like having twice as many alpha douches.

As a fellow Aussie, I feel you. Office politics gets even worse.

Women and power do not mix.

Sounds like these girls have a case of the basic b!txh syndrome.
