What about "Dawg"?
Gut feeling says "Dawg" is less masculine than "Dude" but more masculine than "Buddy".
But I have no idea why, and I'm certain this would be ordered differently for everyone, so what do you think?
I feel like “Dude” is the most neutral at this point, but it’s just my experience.
It doesn't sound very neutral if you say, "I like to fuck dudes."
But no judgment if you do.
