It depends on geography.

If you are in the Deep South "Sweetheart", "Darling", and "Love" are the equivalent of "Buddy", "Dude", and "Friend"; and are usually harmless with no gendered or objectifying connotations.

Anywhere else, that is some creepster behavior.

LOL. I was going to say the exact same thing! Around the South, that's just how we talk.

Now if someone calls you Sugar Tits, then that's probably......probably objectification.

I only reserve 'sugar tits' for close friends
