Calls me "Dear" and pats me on the arm.
Ask me how much I want to smack him!!!
End of rant. :)

Since neither one of us were present and don't know the intent of the speaker, I'd suggest waiting to find out all the facts and not jump to any conclusions about this man's alledged intentions or his manner in using the word "dear."
Maybe he's from the south and is one of those people who touches people when he speaks to them and isn't aware of how offensive his mannerisms are.
It happens.

Also, I'm going to pretend the derogetory "babe" thing didn't happen. Just because I know you're trying--badly--to make a point. Except I think you made mine.
