A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I'm just wanting opinions on the difference between the terms of "amazing woman" - "awesome chicky" and "chicky babe". For example, is there certain levels of intimacy involved in calling a girl this when you are interested, if you are interested?

I've been called all three, one was by a close friend and the other two by men I was casually dating. Which one is more of a compliment?

chigirl agony auntAmazing woman means a lot more than trashy nicknames, if you ask me. It's sincere and honest. The other ones are, I dunno... something I would expect someone who doesn't really care to blurt out.

Honeypie agony auntI don't think terms of endearment or cutesy nicknames mean squat in the bigger picture. It certainly doesn't mean a certain level of interest depending on the term used. It all depends on the situation, the guy the woman, the mood.

Like WiseOwlE said, WORDS are cheap. They can hold great meaning and no meaning.

If you are trying to gauge a man's interest from little cutesy saying you will know nothing really. Because? They MEAN nothing deeper.

You want to know if a guy is interested? LOOK at his actions. Does he want to spend time with you? Do you share things in common? Does he enjoy doing thing YOU love but he isn't a huge fan off? Does he introduce YOU to things HE loves doing? Does conversation flow easily? Do you share the same values? Morals? Standards?

Calling you an awesome woman, great! Take the compliment and move on with life. There is no great mystery to solve in those words.

How on earth do you determine someone's feelings towards you by two or three words?

How do they treat you as a person? How long have you known the author of these words? I would think character and personality would speak louder than a few cheap lines.

None of them mean diddly-squat. Sweet-talk is for air-heads. Expect more from men.

judgedick agony auntAmazing woman is the only one I would have ever used, and I can use that about many women, there is even one woman on this site that I think of as an amazing woman but would not tell her, as I don't think she needs to know the respect I hold her in,

Other amazing women can be anything from a leader to a good sales woman to an amazingly stupid person, so it may not have anything to do as you ask a sign of interest,

the other 2 expressions sound like men that think your sexy from just the way you dress and hold yourself, but what they mean would vary from where the man using it came from,

but your best to not to take anything out of these expressions and to only take on border what men say clearly and in how they act and treat you, as they say, actions speak louder than words.

Like it is not much good if I tell you you are the most Beautifull woman in the world and if I treat you like crap.

Honeypie agony auntI don't think they necessarily mean 3 different things or are different compliments. Or that one is more intimate than another.

I say that because they come from 3 different men. IF they were from one man they might mean different things. If that makes sense. And they might not. It might just be whatever came out of the guy's mouth that HE thought sounds cool, good or flattering.

And it comes down to what you personally FEEL about the various terms.

If you don't like being called a chick then that would be the "lesser" compliment. Same with babe or even woman.

Some men use pet names because it's simply easier than remembering the woman's name (especially if he is dating multiple women.) That makes sense. Some thing that baby/babe is a great nickname or term of endearment and some don't.

So trying to READ more into these little combinations of words is not really realistic.

YOU decide which compliment YOU like best.
