I don't mind ma'am. 
I occasionally correct students and tell them to call me Ma'am. I had one last year that called me Miss. I liked that, it was kind of English. I remember the first time I was called ma'am. It stunned me. I was 16 and working in a fast food joint and a little kid called me ma'am. I felt so old!

My sister makes a big difference between lady and woman. When someone has been acting what she views as inappropriately, she'll say, "that...woman." Otherwise, they're ladies . Because of that woman is not my favorite thing to be called.
I was extremely pleased the first time someone called me ma'am in the grocery store. I could get used to that really quick

I call women younger than myself, my age range and a little older than myself "Miss." Women my late Mother's age and above "Ma'am."
What gets me though is that so many people reject or balk at being respected with "Sir" or "Ma'am." We could use more of it (respectful mannerisms) IMHO. They don't realize enough how it takes a parent/parents time and energy to instill this respect for others into their children.

(I just know someone's going to be upset but this makes sense and should be said lol)
so by process of elimination then,you are okay with being called baby doll,hot stuff,good looking,or rawrrrrr,as opposed to what has been said in the poll or has been said by you,correct? or would you like to change some answers? because in my view lady,maam,or gal,aren't half as lethal to a man as the one's I mentioned(never said them only heard them lol)you sure you can't live with some of those more than what I posted? just seemed lacking some of the really annoying phrases,instead of the more common phrases to be pestered by,as for me when meeting most anyone I say a name that fits everyone,Hi,call me weird but that's just how I talk to people and what I think anyone would want to be called(depending on context) or hello,put them on the list and I believe they will be winners to all of you in this poll! bye.

Well then ya better stay out of the South ma... er, missy. Round here we call all the ladies ma'am, from an 85 year old grandma down to a four year old girl.
Only time we don't call a lady ma'am is when she ain't acting like a lady. If she's rude, instead of saying "Howdy ma'am" we'll just say "Howdy" and be on about our business.
