Do You Think We Should Start Calling Pets

How do you start calling a boyfriend a pet name?

and now we both have that pet name that sticks and that we feel comfortable saying to eachother

How many pets can you have before people start calling your house a zoo?

it depends on the siz of the the house, the size of the pets, and if your animals are all strictly inside. 2 cats and three dogs (as long as the dogs aren't huge) sounds fine, but more than that is starting to be a bit much.

Do you think we should start a campaign to ban people calling Ireland Southern Ireland?

I find only northern irish calling it that, its funny when N.I. people introduce me to others as being from "down south" when I'm from Donegal and probably from a more Northern part than them..
I'm not wile offended by the term "Southern Ireland" and spendin too much time with them I sometimes start sayin "The South"..but most of the time I say "The Republic". I've had to learn not to have too much pride in fickle issues like this cos it's easy to feel so hurt from others remarks.

No, I don't think a campaign is necessary it's just habit/ignorance/laziness and is not meant to be rude or whatever...
But I think the Western England/Southern Canada idea is funny!

Do you think we should start keeping men as pets?

YES!!! a world where women control everything and men are pets/sex slaves than the world would probably see less poverty and war and men would be happy because we would have nothing to worrie about and would probably get mor sex if we were trained by our owners on how to please them.
now we have the ability to pregnate a women with another womans DNA. since women dont have a Y chromosone they can only give birth to girls in this way so there can be a all female secioty with zero men but you would probably have more fun taining us.
personaly if the government told me in 2 weeks I will become a womans pet i would be fairly ok with that.

How to start using "pet" names?

I think for us girls it's easier to come out with pet names for things and people just because it's in our nature too. In the past some of my ex's have found it quite easy to say things where as others have found it quite hard. My current bf just calls me babe and nothing else apart from once when he called me honey.

So really it's up to how you feel and whether you feel comfy saying anything. Did your mother call you anything when you were a child that you can affectionately call her like bunny, honey, sweety etc. Or can you continue something on the end of her name like if she was called Molly...call her molly-boo....or if she was called Nicole...insted call her Nicole lee lee

Why would a guy start calling a girl with pet names?

He’s testing if he could pull it off without the girl getting pissed.You see, pet names are given when you and another are quite close. It’s like a friendship band. Only that person can call you that.If he’s close to her. It’s quite natural.If not, he just assumes he’s close to her but the other isn’t.If she doesn’t react or retaliate. It’s safe for him to assume they got something there.I know it’s stupid.People do stupid things.

How do couples start calling each other nicknames?

Ahh it's just natural. Me and my guy address each other as 'Baby' and it's difficult to recall  since when we started addressing each other with this nick-name. Though, we address each other with various other names but this 'baby' is fixed and we just love to hear this on and on.  In-fact we are so attached to this name that no-matter what we're doing whether we're discussing or walking or laughing or having fights we just address each other with this name only.  But, recently, I had a fight with my love and whole day while discussing and sorting on that matter not a once I used this word 'baby'. Later in the night when we sorted out he mentioned that he does not liked this act of mine where I was calling him by his name but not as 'Baby'. That particular moment I was again fallen in love with him. That was actually the sign of his immense attachment towards me. He is so much attached to my words, my actions, my smile, my everything  that if anything is missing from our day-to-day life he just don't like it. So,I think even you must start addressing your partner with any cute nickname and that should come out naturally. Nick names are a kind of cue to intimacy. They speak to the intimacy in a relationship. When couples stop using nick names, it’s often an indication of a lack of intimacy

At what point in life should I start calling my friends "women" instead of "girls"?

I don't think there's a magic age/time when you should start calling someone a woman. I think it's highly context dependent, as "girl" vs "woman" and "boy" vs. "man" have different connotations. In a professional setting, I don't call myself (and wouldn't want to be called) a girl. I mean, take WSE or WiB. Even though these groups are often student groups at colleges and high schools, where many of the group members are under 18, they don't call themselves Girls in Science and Engineering or Girls in Business. In that context, they're women. They're professionals. They're not children. This is why you don't hear phrases like, "independent girl," or "powerful girl," or "businessgirl." On the other hand, I often use "girl" or "boy" in a social setting. You don't call your significant other your manfriend or your womanfriend. I suppose at some point people start using "guy" instead of boy ("my guy friends," "one of the guys," "...this guy I met at the party," etc.), and I can't think of a female equivalent. With women, even into adulthood, phrases like "girls' night," "girl friend" and "the girls" are quite common. Since "girl" is used by men and women alike in social situations, I suppose it's acceptable and non-offensive. Your use of the word man/woman vs. boy/guy/girl could also be used linguistically in social settings to emphasize a certain characteristic. One might describe his girlfriend as, "The most intelligent/beautiful woman I've ever met." In a different description of the same person, he might call her the "prettiest/cutest girl I know." Because pretty and cute have certain youthful/girly connotations, it is more consistent to pair them with a cutesy noun. Intelligent and beautiful have their own set of characteristics, and flow better with "woman." It's not just because you want adjective-noun agreement, but because your use of the word woman/girl can strengthen or weaken your point. So, again, I don't think it's so much about at what point in your life should you call your friends girls vs. women, but under what circumstances should you choose the word woman over girl. There are times when "girl" is inappropriate, and other times when it strengthens what you are saying to/about them. If you're still unsure, pay attention to and mimic your female friends' language. Before long, it'll become second nature.

When is it appropriate to start calling your boyfriend pet names?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for about a month now. I fell in love with him the moment I started talking to him. I've already told him that I love him and we tell each other that we love one another all the time. But I was wondering when it would be appropriate to start calling him pet names such as honey or sweetheart?? Is it too soon? Do people usually wait longer or no? I know there's really no set time or anything but I was just wondering in your opinion how long I should wait before I go about doing this. Thank you, any help is greatly appreciated!

Do you think it is selfish to have pets?

Dogs are the oldest friend humans have in the animal kingdom. For about 15,000 years, they have evolved to live alongside humans and this friendship has been mutually beneficial for both species. In the modern world, having a pet dog provides us with a plethora of psychological benefits and of course security. In turn, the dog gets food, protection and a loving family for life.There are about 400 million pet dogs in the world and the question of ethical treatment becomes more and more important with every passing year. Dogs, like every animal have material needs and emotional needs. Material needs are quite simple in a dog’s world. Some food and a place to sleep will do just fine. But millions of years of evolution has shaped the dog’s instincts, drives and emotions to survive in the wild. These include the urge to have a play mate, sniff around and find food, mark the territory, run and explore the wild, etc. Being pack animals, they have a very strong urge to be part of a herd rather than go solo. Their urge to mate is quite strong during its biological prime. Most pet dogs are denied of these primal needs. At least some of them.But most dog owners are considerate to take care and ensure that their dog’s emotional needs are met. Long walks, play time, petting the dog and simply sitting next to the dog provides the dog with the all-important psychological needs it has. The major upside is that the overall health and life expectancy of a pet dog is much better than a stray dog which has to fend for itself during the bad times.So when you consider the complete picture, it appears that it is not selfish but in fact a win-win situation for both the humans and the dogs. Having said that, a pet dog is a life-long responsibility. At least as long as the life of a dog is concerned. If one cannot provide the dog with the material and emotional needs, then one must stay out this completely. There are also some cases of animal abuse where one might think that there are stray dogs which have more complete lives. But these are rare and negligible when compared with the number of happy dogs who have a caring family. I hope this answers your question and restores some faith in the long and eternal friendship forged between humans and dogs.
