One question to Men

If you call a lady younger than you as 'Madam' /'Ma'am' What does that mean?

Depends on the situation actually. But if it is spoken in a professional situation while doing serious work related talk, with a much less experienced person, it can mean to be sarcastic in nature, or over-emphasising / dominating in nature . In same manner, “Sir” too is used at times. At other times, if used casually, in lighter manner, it can be implied to be flirtatious too. So, only the lady in question can actually tell what is the affect of it.

It means the guy has determined you to be biologically opposite and that you most likely fall under feminine bucket. Stop reading too much into it 🤦🏻‍♂️

Making fun... aaj madam ka mood kharab h shayad..
Giving you your space when asked.. ji madam, understood.
