Re: Calling Women \"Darling, Dear, Love\" etc.
How did you people pick up these habits of calling women by those names? I'm just curious because growing up I never heard anyone around me use those words and thus I would never use them now.

I think I do it because my Grandpa did it. He was from the south. Honestly if it's a jerky thing to do, I'll stop.
