I dont think it is. I'm a girl and I call girls chicks(no homo). well most the time I call them dudes. but still like its a name. Your lady friends probably never got some in their lives and think theyll get some from you. you gotta catch the wind to understand what i just said.

Do you mean chick as in chiken or chicken head? If so then yes it's quite offensive. But I couldn't care less ofcourse who gives a fck!

Answer 5

no its just another way of reffering to a girl.

Answer 6

For me I don't mind a friend calling me that but if its a random guy I don't like it. I have a name that they could take the time to ask and learn before they called me 'chick'. but i don't flip out it just bothers me somtimes.

no

I guess it really depends on who the woman is, and if you really respect them. If they're your friends, and they know you respect them, then it's not really that big a deal. However, there are some places, where calling a woman, "a girl," will be seen as disrespectful. I was in a college class, and I mistakenly used the word "girl," and was corrected by the professor, who was a man. I meant no disrespect, and I'm not sure any of the women in the class even noticed or were offended, but there are times, when it's not politically correct (PC).

Frankly, I never really much cared for being PC, but I do think you should be respectful. I don't think you should objectify people, although, there are times when people want to be objectified. We are not only emotional creatures, but physical ones too. We enjoy being treated as such, from time to time. Being physical is not a negative thing. Being a chick, isn't even really a negative thing. It's only negative, when you mean it in a negative way and have negative intent.

I'd be careful who you say it to, but other than that, you should be fine. If you're "lady friends" don't mind, then it's probably fine to keep saying it to them.

Best of luck. :-)

Answer 9

for me, I don't like being called chick

but other girls, maybe.

My opinion? I think it's annoying and the guy should learn my name. Same goes for calling me sexy or hott. It gets annoying.
