Hi Everyone..

After getting some negative feedback from calling the lovely ladies "chicks", it has made Me wonder about peoples atitude towards different titles that We call Each other.

dunno

Some people obviosly get offended By these.

I gottta admit I hate the term "guy" for us blokes but I hardly find it offensive. Maybe some guys hate the term "blokes".

We, here in Australia, also call the ladies "sheilas" which I have also seen people get offended by.

I am curious to here about other different gender titles from different places or cultures.

I think I'll stay safe and call all You ladies 'ladies'. Although I have known women who don't like that either!! confused

I think You are all beautiful no matter what I call you.
