I have but don't any more...it sounds demeaning even to me..guys never say stuff like that to each other so why should women or men to women?
It's intended to be terms of endearment..IMHO
I will use those terms for my kids or my grandkids..that's about it.

Guilty as charged!!!
I use those terms of endearment with family, friends, sisters and brothers in Christ, and even strangers. It just comes second nature to me - It's a southern culture thing, where people are friendly and affectionate and warm towards one another.
I'm one of those people who will strike up a conversation with pretty much anyone - I just think people are interesting, and everyone has a fascinating story, if you take the time to listen.

I make friends everywhere I go as well. I don't use "sweetie, honey, etc...." too often, but I always address people with "yes sir/no sir, yes ma'am/no ma'am", even if the person is 20 years old. That is also very southern. It's definitely a habit and way of interacting with respect.

I tend to use "sir" or "mam", even if the other person is young (but not for a kid).
I previously used "miss" when speaking to a youngish woman, but now I use "mam" because I never know whether the other person is married.
Occasionally, someone will call me "boss", which I don't like, because I don't ever want to be the boss of another person.

In my neck of the woods, if you have to stand in line very long at Wal Mart you will probably make at least 2 new friends! Here we also help struggling folks with their carts. At the Braum's Ice Cream and Dairy store recently, Mr C helped a very elderly gent get situated at a table that was still wet from cleaning and dried it for him. The man's wife was in line ordering their food.

Usually I just say,
"Hey You!!"
"Hey whatever your name is!"
If I really want to be nice I say, " Hey hotshot" or "Hey you great big hunk of ugly humanity!"
People that are real nice to me? I just say "what you doing hound dog?"
