Men may refer to women as "buddies" in the following ways:
In a relatively relaxed and friendly context, express an equal and close relationship, similar to the titles of "brother" or "friend", but not specifically referring to gender. This kind of address usually appears in casual social or acquaintance interactions.
In some regions, such as Xi'an and surrounding cities in Shaanxi, "buddy" is a term used to refer to good friends, and a man referring to a woman as "buddy" may indicate a good relationship between the two.
3. Due to cultural and personal differences, men referring to women as "buddies" may also be seen by some as not being formal or respectful enough. When using this term, it is necessary to consider the other person's feelings and acceptance.
