What's your favorite thing to be called as a guy-- like to show you're passing.  I've been called man a few times and it's pretty awesome, although right now I'm so timid about passing and I'm scared to open my mouth lest my voice give me away, so I feel really awkward when someone says "hey man" and I can't say anything back, so I try to do a chin nod, but if I'm really lacking the self-confidence it's more of a timid quick half smile, which is NOT what I'm going for.  But what I really can't wait to get called is son.  I've wanted to be called son since I was in high school.  I even complained to one my teachers who called all the boys son and he started calling me daughter (which does NOT have the same effect).  I haven't been called it yet, but whenever I imagine myself like going into a barber shop or gas station, I imagine getting called son and I can't wait until it actually happens.

I do the chin nod a LOT. It's almost a social move for me. But I understand you, I try to project my voice deeper when I respond, but it comes out sounding really fake/ awkward if I do it wrong. I've been called lad once before, which is kind of fun. I usually like it pretty simple though, "hey man, he, his". I've never been called son, but that would be a nice once because there would be NO room for doubt, haha. I hope it happens for you, that would be a smirk bringer for sure.

My favorite is "young man," although "sir" was amazing the first time I got it.  I also love being referred to as that "guy" by people who are talking about me.

Guy and sir are my favorites.

my favorites are son(by a parent, or by a stranger) buddy, and young man

hey man and sir, i love hearing that word!

had a few girls who came and talked even one call me sexy to me but i couldnt talk back as i was scared that my squeaky voice would give it away.

My favourite is Ryan

Sir is always great and I know all of us love being called that. I like being called that guy and handsome. 

Dude, man, guy, sir, brutha, buddy, mister, fella...they're all my favorites.

I like boss and sir as well as son and brother but really any masculine one still makes me happy

I forgot Uncle.

Boss or Boss Man. I also sometimes find it odd and don't know where it comes from since I'm no one's boss.

Re:  Boss (clean version for sensitive ears):



I prefer my full first name (no nickname) or sir, mister, man, and bro.

EDIT:  Trying to embed vid

I just like sir. Man and bro feel over used and don't have as much significance as "sir." I feel like sir is "I see you as male and am showing respect by calling you this." It's more formal.

I got called son once by a cafeteria lady and it was pretty awesome.

I like man and dude.

edit: also, my very favourite moment was when my mom, who is having trouble accepting this, said, "So, can I call you Jake?"

My favorite was a guy saying "Hey man" with a very thick Jamaican accent. 
Anything male-specific is nice, but I prefer the casual terms like bro, man, and dude.  I've spent so long with people slipping in "hon" etc. into conversations that it's nice to have a random reminder that this person sees me as male.  I also love being called by my name, which doesn't happen very often. 

"Boyfriend" probably makes me the happiest, especially who it's coming from. He's risking a lot of drama for openly saying "Yes, this is Nick, and he's my boyfriend, and you can deal with it". It makes me happy as hell.

I love getting "Sir"d but it's only happened once or twice, usually it's just "man" or "this guy". The best was in Subway, we were talking about our favorite subs and I mentioned mine, the guy behind the counter goes "This man right here knows how to do it". I had to fight off the urge to do a little happy dance right then and there.

Boyfriend. I got so ridiculously happy first time it happened I didn't quite know what to make of myself
Makes me mushy every time

We don't address eachother with gender-titles so much in Sweden, so mostly I have no way to tell if I pass or not. "That guy" and "him" are always nice.

Yeah I love Sir as well. Also bro -- but that's more jokingly than serious. Also I still get called Dude a lot and that's nice.

Being called 'little bro' by my adopted brother [he has 'adopted' me as his brother since I don't have one].
