I call younger people hun cause I find them nice. Usually, they make me happy to see bright, happy youths. It brings me good memories of my old friends when we were young. I remember when older people would smile at me when I was young, it made me happy.
I call people hon and guess I fit in the older woman category (though not to old)
It is a term of endearment and I guess on a subconscious level a way of telling the other person. I am nice and kind but also older with a lot more experience than you so likely wiser so deserve a little respect.
