Hmmmm.... :hmm:

back to the OP; I don't mind being called a chick, a hot chick is a even better. just don't use it like it's a derogatory term or add an expletive to it and it's all good.

I made the mistake of referring to two young female college professors as girls. One of the professors gave me a reaming I will never forget in front of a room full of people. She later apologized and told me that she was in the middle of a messy divorce and that she felt I was being condescending. Since then I have been very careful to refer to females as "women" and not "girls".

I guess the moral of the story is guys please do not send your woman into the world pissed off or society suffers. :p

That's bullshit. I'd bet anything you called her would have set her off, she just needed a reason, and you gave it to her.

they are chicks then we are cocks?

Along those lines...I had a high school teacher who wanted to call all the girls in his class chicks. So my best friend and I told him we'd call him a capon if he insisted on calling us chicks. :)

I've never thought of "chick" as a derogatory term.
I suspect my wife would find it a little annoying, but I don't think she'd be offended.

Any woman can be offended by any word in any language depending on the mood she is in when you say it.

Women mind if you call them girls.

Not true in all situations, and, of course, delivery and an understanding of the situation is key.

You can softly address a group of elderly women as "you girls" in a way that would have them absolutely loving it, much as "mistaking" a mother and daughter as sisters can ingratiate you with the mom even if everyone involved knows it wasn't a true mistake.

Context is key.

Also, I've known somewhat harder edged "women" who called each other chicks and even preferred "dudes" to call them that.
