I don't let it stop me making a booking for as long as they sound genuine and not a timewaster or potential no show etc.

The one I really can't stand is "bby" or "bbe". I remember getting a text from a potential client who sent a long winded text about his situation and what he wanted and every sentence ended with bbe or bby!

I would much rather the called me by my name than all those "honey" "sweetie" "baby" so cringe!

Ugh some guy just rang and said 'hey baby' he obviously thought he had a sexy foreign accent. Actually the term made me cringe so much (think two knives being sharpened) I just said

ugh don't call me that, goodbye 99% TW vibe from just the way he said those two words!

I don't particularly like any pet names from anyone really. I probably sound like an old woman

My name or a nickname, shortened version of my name, fine.

I was just wondering this myself though and reading through the comments and it just dawned on me, I can't think of any clients I have that I liked and respected that call me babe and the likes. They address me by my name. Apart from one who calls me hun occasionally but that's the exception.

In my experience, 90 % of the guys who called me hun, baby or darling never booked.
So I avoid/block them.

Yes exactly these are the time wasters I've had calls from !

I think a lot of them call us babe or whatever pet name they fancy because they've just taken a load of numbers off the internet and don't know what our name actually is. I echo what's been said before, they're almost exclusively time wasters and I normally just hang up. I had one yesterday who kept calling me babe and he said "as long as you're looking absolutely gorgeous babe" Like what kind of a comment is that? Goodbye.

Not my favourite.
TWs, yes, there are genuine ones, too. I generally don't get on too well with these men after once or twice. Something fishy about calling prossies, "babes". They don't mean anything, I'm sure. Probably, it shows far more about them.
I'm so middle age. Yuk, "babes" makes me cringe, too. Women call me "darling" too. But I don't mind that.

Yes agree - especially "it shows far more about them".
I cannot bear "babe" "babes" "darling" "love" - any age of guy can call you this and is a big no no for me.
It would be like me starting an e mail or text to them saying "Hi arsehole" Am sure they would not want to meet up after that!

I absolutely hate it as well, and yes, I do state on my profile that you won't get a booking if you call me babe/baby/hun etc. I'm currently in the fortunate position of being able to turn down people I don't want to see, but in the past when I was less stringent about who I saw, I could guarantee 100% that a booking from a man who addressed me that way would not be a good booking. They were always the ones who (if they even turned up!) would be rude, disrespectful, inconsiderate boundary-pushers who would undoubtedly piss me off and end up on the 'never again' list. So I don't even entertain them now - the message is deleted or the phone is hung up.

I think certain words can be blocked out in texts. Will need to figure how.

One of my clients never used to use the term babe, baby etc until he started seeing a particular girl who would call him babes so he got used to it and just started calling all the girls babes after that.
I have been guilty of saying babe to some clients too.

I don't mind "affectionate" terms with clients I know (both ways - as long as they don't mind). It's just when I've never met the person before. As ladies have said above I feel when they call you it before they've met you they normally turn out to be nightmares in the booking, or time wasters.

I had one start a text 'Hey Missus' this weekend, which I just found weird.

Not cringey like babe or honey, just odd. Maybe it's a term of endearment somewhere in the country but it's usually how men refer to their wives.
