Cute pet names and men
A man may feel that pet names are a feminine thing, so even if he was using any special words to call his girl, he may refrain from using them in public. Let’s just say, a man feels like he’s wearing frilly pink skirts when he’s caught using pet names in public. That’s usually the case, unless the guy has some macho-stud nickname for his woman like ‘girlie’, ‘babe’ or ‘chick’, which is comfortably used even in front of others.
On the other hand, women become real babies when it comes to love and cute pet names. They tend to baby talk a lot more than men. And they don’t mind doing that in public either. Well, that’s in most cases anyways.
There are no sources here, but it seems like women started calling their men by a pet name, and this trend eventually rubbed off on men. After all, women are a lot better connected to their inner child and feelings of love than men.
