I am a male and it happens to me. I think it's uncomfortable. There's one woman at my job who's very friendly. She calls me "hon", which is the same thing. I like her but I don't feel comfortable with it. She's married and has a couple of young kids. Also there's a woman security guard that calls me honey. I'm not crazy about that, too.

I don't know any suggestion of what to do about it. It's a hard decision to make on that. With these two women that call me that, I know that they like me and nothing more than that can happen between us. I can understand how a woman can feel uncomfortable when men come on that way.
