I don't think you can go anywhere in the South without people using ma'am. I think it's just a term of respect when addressing someone, I don't think it has anything to do with your age. Now...up North it may be different.
I personally have never had a problem with anyone using any "terms of endearment" when addressing me. Again...I think it has a lot to do with growing up and living in the South.
