Depends on the girl and the guy involved. Plenty of younger women like the equality and banter of being called "mate". Some guys call women "love" - mostly older guys though. (Armissael was an exception) . Older Aussie women in certain areas call other women "love", or "pet."

"Sheila" is an ocker term. A deep "Strine" word.

Did this illuminate? Or confound?
