I'm not trying to over analyze... But what kind of nickname is "kid"? Makes me feel like a kid sister. But it's weird bc the guys that called me this have usually been romantically interested in me. Just interested in some related opinions/thoughts.

I think so, it stand for he llike you!
It sounds like these guys are consulting Sex and the City.
I've never watched sex and the city....
I think I've heard of it. Maybe.
TV show, right?
Depends on the tone.
they are calling you kid, more so as a protector of you, i would take it as a good sign and go with it
Am I the only one who would find the term 'kid' patronising? I wouldn't like it at all.
Patronizing? I guess that's where I get the little sister feeling. It's not a very romantic nickname in my opinion.
little sister....daughter.... At any rate, I can't imagine a man using that endearment towards a woman he views as equal.Quote:

That, and I would be a bit uncomfortable with seeing the term "kid" in any context involving romance/sex appeal.Quote:

You are not the Lolita type, I presume? :)
...Haven't you ever seen Casablanca?
It very well could be that they're making some sort of reference to the movie, or to Elsa if you look like her or that's your name? Just a thought.
Honestly, if a guy was classical enough to do that, I would be attracted even more.
"Here's looking at you, kid." :)
I would say a girl two years younger than me that shes a kid and be protective too. But it ussualy ends up as being sexually soft and not agressive enought and thats bad cause young girls needs dick.
They are older guys... about 5 years older.
A line from Casablanca? That would be romantic.
Lol! That made me laugh.Quote:

I think they mean in it an endearing manner, but I wouldn't really find that attractive. Unless the guy was a lot older and had a big penis. I was on a date once with a guy 1 year older than me and he kept rubbing the top of my head and ruffling up my hair...like I was his kid sister....and then asking me if he could be my part time lover. Yeah.....no thanks.
I'd try not to over-analyze, and take it the way the speaker intended. It was probably said out of some sense of affection.Quote:

Just out of curiosity and pretty related:
Why hasn't anyone similarly pointed out the absurd/disgusting semantic ramifications of the term of endearment, "baby" or girls wearing slutty cat costumes? Surely the idea of being called a baby or having sex with someone so endearingly labeled "baby" or sex with a cat is surely not enticing when you really think about it?
I wouldn't like being called baby either...patronising again.
I don't understand the cat costume reference though. I mean, I don't fancy having sex with a vampire.... but a hot guy who was dressed like a vampire but is now naked...well, that's a different story.
Lol, so you've NEVER seen slutty chicks wear slutty cat costumes? Maybe you haven't been out on Halloween in years, though...
LOL yourself. Did you not know that Halloween is an American tradition? We don't do Halloween in Oz.
I have seen girls dressed as Catwoman at fancy dress parties and I've seen American movies with Halloween party scenes. Still don't understand the 'sex with someone who was wearing costume' reference.
I thought it would've spread everywhere, especially since most major countries have tried to emulate or steal American culture...especially Australia. Seems like Australia goes nuts when last year's hot album finally gets released there.
It's an old school term: "Here's looking at you, kid" Don't over analyze such a thing. In the black community, grown folk call other grown folk "honey-baby child". For instance, a sample conversation:
"Mrs. Jenkins, whatcha doin' today, giiirl? Want to go to the bingo hall?"
and Mrs.Jenkins response is, "Ahh, honey-baby child, I can't do it today. My husband is taking me dancing."
"child" and/or "kid" is a term of endearment, if not just a figure of speech
Still, it's kinda creepy when taken literally..especially if one was to makeout or have sex on a Halloween night with a girl dressed as a slutty cat and then one stops to think about it literally. Sex with a cat, yay!
WOW! I'm going to log off and log in again, just to read that once more...
Lol...I hope I don't get misread and somehow taken for a bestiality advocate. I was being satirical.
hahah, no...it was funny...but I still had to take another peek, so to say, to make sure that I wasn't mis-reading it. hahah
Silly virgin. It's not meant to imply sex with a cat, but rather, sex with a (pussy) cat.Quote:

Applying the same logic, would a man in a rooster (cock) costume be considered sexy?? :DQuote:

Lol, men can't be virgins. You of all should know this.Quote:

Only you would think about it literally. Nobody else would. Anyone else would be interested in sleeping with the gorgeous girl who used to be wearing the costume.Quote:

Beautiful example of the "Ugly American" there mate. The whole world just loves and revolves around America, eh? Not.Quote:

It's this type of ignorant attitude which sent Starbucks broke here. They also assumed that we'd just love to take on American culture and eating style. Their lack of research didn't give them the heads up that we drink Italian style coffee and won't drink the crap they serve. They didn't shift their attitude and have since gone into receivership.
Hate to disillusion you, but we're a multicultural country. Our influences are strongly British (due to our early immigrants), European (due to later immigrants) and now there's a lot of Asian influence - especially in our food culture. American influence? Not so much. Travellers to the US come home talking about all the differences they see between American culture and here.
Music from many English speaking countries can go nuts here. Yes, US music gets lots of airplay, but so does UK and Canadian music and of course, Australian music has a huge stronghold.Quote:

As for music delays....I was hearing Macklemore's Thrift Shop on Australian radio back in October - which is when it was released in the US. It's already hit #1 and gone away. I have no idea what delays you're talking about - and I suspect you don't have any idea either.
What the hell are the Macklemore's Thrift Shop? It was something released in the U.S.? Must be some indie band,
Try calling him "dad" and see how he reacts.Quote:

If that's their way of flirting with you I would be moving onto someone different.
Macklemore is the name of the artist. Thrift Shop is the song. He's out of Seattle - and yes, Indie.
Record companies can't afford to release songs here later than in the US - because we will download the music illegally and they miss out on sales. So, basically, you're making stuff up about our music scene.
too funny!! I wish someone would call me "kid" now just so that I can use your line.Quote:

No, I don't. Not at all. I've got a couple of long term American friends who I've met on forums such as these. They would never express ignorant views as per LR.Quote:
