I'd prefer to be called by my name 
If someone called me a lady I'd give them a strange look
Woman and gal are both OK, but I don't think anyone is likely to call me gal in Norway
PS: You forgot lass

I have to admit I find it charming when men call you darling. Like in a store and your next in line and the man says "how can I help you darling." Makes me smile.

Lol, folks say a lot of different stuff...sweetie, honey, darlin, ma'am, little lady, and they're all good, but I cringe whenever somebodys sayin "ma'am" and said person is older than me. Whenever I was in UK, older ladies used to be sayin "love" to younger ladies.
What? No babe? How can you be an insensitive jerk without saying "Hey babe" to a woman? We must have babe in the poll!
I remember this topic, but I can't remember what was decided last time this topic was run. I think we decided on undecided.

Im not female, but I wanted to post my feelings anyway : p
Im sorta weird about gendered terms for various reasons. I generally dont like being called "man", just because of the image it has with it. Like I think most people imagine this when they think of the word "man"-
When I feel much more closer to something like this-
(it was hard to find a good picture to describe what Im trying to say btw)
I mean yeah theyre both male or course, but Im talking about the image associated with the word, and the social expectations and junk.
Of course Im not like all hurt and destroyed from the word or anything : p I choose to avoid the word just because Im not a big fan of it, but I dont force that on others or anything : p People do call me that, and I might make an odd face in reaction but I dont shame them over it or whatever : p
Ill often use the words male and female just because Im not a fan of those things I mentioned above^ : p
But anywho, I work with the public, and for the most part I actually just avoid gendered terms, like ma'am or sir or whatever. Like when I ask a customer for help, instead of saying "can I help you sir/ma'am?", I just say "can I help you?". I dont really feel that expressing ones gender is all that important : p Again, Im not fighting biology or anything like that, I just dont feel like its an important thing to worry about outside of responsibility and doing whats right. So far, no one has seemed to have noticed or cared : p

I chose 'other' ... Just call me Pixie.
But if you really must refer to me by my gender than use these words :
Queen
Princess
M'lady
Goddess

I get called all kinds of names like dear, sweetheart (sweetie), darlin', girly, chicky, my lady, ma'am, but I'm not opposed to any name as long as one, they know my actual God given name and two, they don't refer to it in a condescending manner. Few things make me angry and if you want to see me mad try it and you shall see haha!
I find this interesting. And nice pic of young Billy Corgan there (from Smashing Pumpkins - the bottom one).Im not female, but I wanted to post my feelings anyway : p

When I think of the word man I think of someone who is an upright citizen, hard-working, good provider, is handy around the house, looks like Cary Grant...

Everyone calls each other "luv" in the UK especially in certain parts of the
country. Even the men call each other "luv" !
Apart from Barnsley / Doncaster where they all call each other "duck"
Hello duck.
In Scotland Hun or Hin is common.
Noted. Given that I use the word "gal" out of respect, it's interesting to me that not everyone received it that way.
On a related note, I don't know who started the trend of referring to a female physician as a "woman doctor" but it is grammatically incorrect unless she is an Ob/Gyn. After all, nobody refers to male physicians as "man doctors".

Fun fact, Billy Corgan is a huge pro wrestling fan, and the picture above him is pro wrestler Kevin Nash, who once worked for the pro wrestling company that Billy Corgan currently works for : p
I guess Sheila is out of the question LOL
I believe the Irish use 'Colleen' in a similar way. I'm not certain since I'm only one-quarter Irish (just from the knees down).
