my whole life i've thought it was a term for kids 😂
Webster dictionary...
'arousing feelings of affection or admiration'
I've never considered the term to be only for children.
I have never heard anyone refer to a child as "endearing"
I'm sure it's happened somewhere, but I don't think that's a common tbing
I think of endearing as nice, kind, pleasant to be around, also being well-mannered. Like if someone visits my home and they leave the last piece of pizza for another guest, or carries their own glass to the kitchen, or brings a bottle of wine, or asks how others are doing before sharing their own stories.
Are you a woman or perceived as a woman? That could do it
are women often referred to as "endearing"? i'd always thought this was a term people use for small kids
They can be by people a generation or two older than them.
Weird. I always heard of it as someone you just immediately like. It’s strange how the same word can have such totally different meanings to people
I think it means you are sweet and people wish to be close to you because they like you.
