simple answer is "NO". Mate is used when saying hello especially when you have forgotten their name.

no. In australia people call each other mate even when they don't know each other.Men, women, teenagers and children all use the term mate.Hope this helps!

h**l no. Its a common word used here in Australia. Same as you guys say buddy or pal. It means friend and everybody uses the word, men and women alike. Its definately not offensive.

Not at all.

Considered yourself accepted as part of his crowd you lucky suck up yank! For a foreigner to be called a "mate" here is an honour.

Cheers, mate!

only if the aussie guy said (in a very seductive and feminine voice), wanna buy me a cocktail, mate? Then he was g*y.

yeah,means buddy,and we dont always say mate.. hardly ever say that

Mate means buddy, friend or pal. It's not an offensive term.

Now, if he'd called you a drongo, bogan or galah then that would be offensive.
