Oh dude, I'm a man and in this country a stranger who is a man calling another man dear is regarded as really creepy. Please don't.

Am I supposed to take it as a joke, or is it real 🤔

It is super weird to call people you don't know dear.

I'm dead serious...I don't like being called dear by anyone except my auntie. It's probably best practice not to call anyone dear on Hive.

Ok this won't happen again.

Good plan. I'm not angry, I'm just telling you for the future. Now move on, all is well.
