Babe …
Whatever floats your boat, but calling your significant other or jumpoff a nickname is pretty common.
Until Usher decided to release a song with a familiar title ” Daddy’s Home” … once that hit the airwaves, it seems like some folks lost their minds! Actually this goes back a little further because I have been all kinds of uncomfortable ever since I heard a 17-year-old Jermaine Jackson croon “Daddy’s Home” … and without laying the blame on just those two, there are plenty of other artists who have put that same message out into the universe.
So clearly, this has been going on for years and passed on generation to generation. It’s a sign that folks are on some other ish right now.
What you mean Meik?
I’m glad you asked. I met a guy, we exchanged numbers. And I’m awful with names, so I ask him for his name again so I can put it into my phone; he replies: “You can call me just call me ‘Daddy.'”
Really now? (As I “side eye” him and delete the number from my phone.)
When did it become socially acceptable to refer to each other as “Mama” and “Daddy” if you didn’t participate in conceiving or raising each other?
What does that say about the men who want to be referred to as a parental unit, especially in the throes of passion (I’ve always wanted to use that phrase now I can, but I digress …) and what does that say about the women who go along with it? Does this mean there are some underlying issues? Wel,l I’m not a psychologist so I don’t know … I just blog.
Before you go pointing the fingers at me — and I know if you follow me on twitter (@mofochronicles shameless plug!) you’ve noticed that I have tweeted with friends calling them “Daddy,” simply because its funny that some females actually do it and mean it! I’m simply being snarky sarcastic.
I personally have a father who would probably wring my f’in neck if he remotely even heard me call a man that I’m dating “Daddy.” I just find it odd to use that as a term of endearment when that’s a title reserved for the man who gives me unconditional love and has raised me to become the smart-ass I am today. (Thanks Dad!)
For some, maybe it’s the thrill of calling someone else Daddy. Hell, I don’t know. Or maybe they are looking for someone to take control and have some sort of power over them. Or maybe there’s just nothing wrong with it at all (Side eye blink. Blink.)
I challenge you men out there to think about this: The next time you ask a female to call you “Daddy,” imagine if it was your daughter calling another man that. Lemme know how that works out for you. I’ll wait.

Convincing a girl to call a guy Daddy is a control issue. If you can get a girl to call you Daddy, when she has a Daddy, you can get her to do almost anything. The bond between a daughter and father is usually pretty strong. That’s why guys target it.
Could it be half of them don’t know who there daddy is OR someone should be realing calling them daddy but they not living up to their responsibilities? Food for thought
Who do you think was watching the game tonight with Minn and NO Were not as stupid as you think you are !! I watch a game that was unfair to all that was watching it you have no self worth if you think it was not FIXED!!!
Seems like Dating Personal is lost.
However, it comes off as incestuous, imo. I would side eye a dude having his sexual partner call him daddy. However, that IS my jam from Usher. LOL
Maybe the Man giving you his number is merely being “snarky sarcastic” as well. I have used the term in the bedroom and bar as well; although never in a serious manner. More of a playful and smile inducing comment. In my eyes, To be called “Daddy” by a sexy grown female is just funny, not empowering.
I guess if you overanalyze any sly and or dirty comedic comment, they can generate potentially unrelated psycological questions/assumptions.
How did this ghetto girl who puts herself on a pedestal get this job writing posts? Write about some truths, some real shit… who cares what other people call their partners…if your getting called something you don’t like then communicate it or find a better man. Duh! …reading your posts further emphasizes how most women today don’t think their shit stinks. Or maybe you give off that really ghetto vibe which turns into guys wanting them to call you daddy…cus lets face it, white men aren’t getting their ladies to call them daddy.
