Hi all, first one from a previous lurker so pls be gentle.
I recently started dating online after a horrid time during the pandemic, and had quite a few younger guys in their late 20s or even early 30s who opened conversations by calling me "daddy", without having had any other interaction first other than a "hi" or "how you doing", which I must admit creeps me out big time.
Truth is I turned 40 not long ago but I probably look maybe 10 yrs younger and have never been addressed that way before, nor have I referred to any older guys I dated before that way. My age is displayed on the app, but I don't think my looks fit the stereotype of a "daddy" as I understand it in any way (possibly me being a bit narrow-minded here), nor do I really want to be one. I know it was meant to be sexual and a bit of fun but I just find it really "icky" for some untold reason. For submissive play I don't mind being called "boss", "master" or pretty much any other term but not "daddy".
Some of my friends seem to think I am over-thinking this and maybe having a bit of a mid-life crisis and when I google this issue most of the links that pop up seem to suggest most men love being called a "daddy".
What's everyone's take on this? Are guys like me in the minority? Should I be more open-minded about it? Doesn't matter whether you're straight or gay. Like to hear your opinion pls. Thx xx
