Mmm, thinking about it now I suppose the only time I ever use 'Mate' or 'Fella' is if I'm in the pub. And that's usually because I've forgotton their names. But then you have the other side of it - I hate it when people say Darling/Sweetie/Poppet etc. It's unnecessarily girly. I find it a little bit patronizing, actually.
