Why do all female halflings call you "hun"?

[Sorn]

I wouldn't ever play a halfling, male or female, so I can't tell you. :P

IRL, pet names tend to be a regional thing in the US and I've gotten them a lot from female waitstaff at restaurants where I've lived, which I don't appreciate if the server happens to be younger than me. I don't care if they think I'm cute as the dickens, I don't need a 19-year-old calling me 'sweetie' while taking my order.

What I wanna know is why I get called bro, man, sir, or dude, regardless of the gender of my toon. If I'm on my female cleric or monk, you can call me 'miss', thank you very much. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I always picture the raspy diner waitress whom has stories of being on Whitesnakes tour bus.

They're small, so likely afraid of you. They think of you as Attila the hun

Personally I think people should only play their gender/race/class/deity combo that matches their real life configuration, hun.

So the server then populates with a bunch of Agnostic Male Ogre & Troll Warriors

It's their way of discretely declaring their heterosexual orientation while simultaneously boasting of the supreme intellect immune to the deception of pretty pixels that has alerted them to your nefarious intent ^^

In short they are worried they might be gay if they mistake another man for a woman ^^

Women aren't concerned with this sort of thing, because unlike men, women do not look at every member of the opposite sex as a likely mate.
