    I don't care how they address me. I'll take any attention I can get.

    I don't usually care. If it's not been a particularly pleasant interaction, I dislike 'hun' very much because I can detect when it's a substitute for 'bit*h'.  - Like when someone says "bless your heart" and really means "go f yourself".

    A woman older than I is more likely to call me "dear," someone middle age is likely to call me hun or sweetie.  If it's a friendly exchange, I don't mind any of it.  If it's a person clearly much younger than I, I feel calling me hun or sweetie is disrespectful, but I try not to get bent out of shape over it.
