I call anyone dear, regardless of gender. But it's usually meant in a condescending tone, so, y'know...

But men don't like being called numb nuts, they don't like that term of endearment at all!

I know you work in a bar the same as me.. I've just been thinking about all the "pet names" I get called and can't really think of one I don't like. I never used to like "doll" but I have a female friend who calls me doll all the time so I kinda like it now..
Actually, I'm not to keen on "pal" It's always the younger ones that call me pal and it makes me feel kind of asexual..lol, if you know what I mean. Maybe a bit mannish!!

When I had that job that took me all over the country I used to love going North West. Women used to call me pet, love, bonny lad - I loved it.

Try changing it to 'my dear' it isnt anywhere near as patronising.

Or you could use 'sugartits'.
