Not me, but the flirtatious attempt at flattery doesn't go unnoticed either.
Does it make her feel like a kid if a guy calls a woman young lady?
Hi Johnny Hernandez,
I don't think you can make a hard-and-fast rule here...
Even me at the age of 72...when I am in a group of old people, the men may tell us we are beautiful, we have wonderful figures, lovely clothing...even kiss our hands...or caution each others' language ("that's getting a little too close to the locker room, Jack!").
They just totally make you feel wonderful, and when these men, who may have come through a war or who knows what other tragedies... when they call you a young lady they are just appreciating your womanhood.
I would not do it everywhere, or in every circumstance.
no.
