When it comes to attractiveness, is there a difference between cute and sexy?

Question

TheorionMage · Accepted Answer

'Cute' is VERY much a subjective perception.
Psychologists have found even newly born babies react to 'attractive' faces they've never met. 'Sexy' is the NEXT iteration.

Its when mid-experimental maturation... a 'cute' individual learns by observation and/or experience HOW they appear and behave can... and DOES motivate their targeted audience to be disposed to behave in accordance with the 'cute' individual's desires.

When a 'cute' pre-teen hops up onto your lap and self-servingly wriggles and fidgets. Guiltlessly they're doing what for them, feels good upon THEIR genitals... (expecting no uninvolved cultural '3rd party' opinion or censure) and learns by your reaction and/or encouragement. Each of us has OUR OWN memories of our first clumsy & inept affectionate overatures, which over time and with experience become culturally refined.
It might be posited that 'cute' is a favored status employed to be perceived as 'sexy'.

Its primarily a sensory visual perception 'gateway' to invite employment of One's other four senses, usually beginning with touch (caressing), taste (tongue kissing & nibbling) , scent (perfume/cologne & pheromones) and hearing (the rustle of sensuous satin, nylon, mewings, gasps and moans) ;)

Pragmatically, devoid of interfering Moralists ethical concerns... the MAJORITY of Society's aims are to encourage those 'cute' to feel... and CHOOSE... to behave 'sexily' (Seduction) with YOU! (Hopefully WHILE employing common sense safeguards against unintentioned conception, physical injury and social diseases!)

Yes in a sense there is. Cute is more wholesome and innocent, sexy is more naughty and rebellious

Big difference. One girl can be cute. One can be sexy. But can be both. Cute and sexy at the same time. Think Sailormoon

loves2learn · Accepted Answer

Cute is more like an adorable baby or a kitten, more playful. Sexy is they wanna get in your pants.

Still-alive · Answer

For me there is. Its purely subjective and I suggest girls dont get too hung up on it.

anyways for me cute = girlfriend material, someone i feel like i have a chance with, has a fun personality, and physically has a very attractive face

sexy/hot = super model material, is all about the body in attractiveness and someone id feel i have no chance in hell with.

for celebrity comparison here's cute to me:

And here's sexy/hot

BareNecessary · Answer

Maybe. I think cute is somethin you wanna suggle up to and dominate. Sexy is just a straight turn on about them you can't ignore. Like something impressive to you. Sexy can lead for more equal feelings, more respect in some ways. Cute and sexy can be felt in a similar way as well. Cute is the gamer girl's typical approach to getting viewers. A business woman who has all of herself in order and knowing what they want is sexy. Though knowing what you want will usually make you ignore what you need. But thats my philosophy getting in the way. I like these questions.

igaveyouanickname · Answer

Someone can be:

1. cute and sexy (Cameron Diaz)
2. cute and unsexy (a cute-but-clueless-and-uncoordinated-dork like I was until I was ~30)
3. not cute and sexy (experienced but not at all cute)
4. not cute and unsexy (low-T grandpa shouting at the mailman)

Jersey2 · Answer

Cute can be sexy In a way but has an air of innocence about her. Sexy is just sexy, no illusion of innocence. Short girls seem more cute and tall girls seem more sexy, it’s not a rule but just how I think about it. Short girls with an innocent face is cute. Tall girls with great legs are sexy.

DumBear · Answer

Cute is better than sexy.
But sexy is fun to look at or hookup with.
Cute is just as good but better even more so for dating. I think someone who is cute can easily also be sexy when they want to.

Most of my partners are cute but also sexy.

ohshee · Answer

For me they're basically the same thing in a lot of different ways though because there's a cuteness to come in moments of time that are just so cute and so just precious but there's also a cute sexiness and both create a deeper bond I think even though they're different they work hand and hand together in acute or sexy way

William7489 · Answer

There is a very fine line. I’ve seen a girl go from cute to sexy with one trip to the bathroom. However it’s important to remember, that sexiness also comes with your demeanor, posture and your mannerisms. That’s why it’s such a turn on for guys when they’re cute girlfriend can role-play as a dominant type of female such as a police officer, manager, immigrations officer, etc. like I said it’s about the attitude as well as the look

kyleelyn199723 · Answer

I think there is. My body calls me hot and sexy, but he thinks my gestures and the way I act is cute. So I think cute is more of an innocent kind of look. Sexy is more aggressive and adultish/ not as innocent

MCheetah · Answer

Cute is for young, small, short, petite girls you want to date. A 7 is like, cute. Sexy is for grown women who you'd want to have sex with, and may or may not date. An 8 or 9 is sexy. It's that simple.

PoliteSpeaker · Answer

Sexy is the girl who gets your dick hard easily.
Cute is the girl you fall in love with and wanna marry
Very few girls have both. Doesn't mean you can't marry the sexy one. Some men prefer that but I don't. There is a difference anyone saying there isn't basically is defining cute as sexy. But Cute is not Sexy

Hmmmsomething · Answer

uhhhh... Kind of but not really... When you say cute I think of a pretty girl with a cute face (without thinking of her body)

But a sexy girl is a girl with a hot sexy body and I want to **** her... But if I find a girl cute... I will also find her sexy because if she has a cute face I still wanna bang her also, don't care what her body is like

So if your cute you're also sexy... The only way you can be cute but not sexy is if you have a very anorexic pencil body but a cute face

Jonny59 · Answer

the difference between being SEXY and CUTE is that
being SEXY you get the urge to have SEX with her
being CUTE you get the urge to ADORE HER, LOVE HER and not thinking about SEX like its the only thing in this world :) thats what I think it is

Stephie2369 · Answer

I would say there is a difference but not sure how to explain it sorry!

ToastyOats · Answer

Cute" is code for a kind face. I always choose women based on their face. All the emotions people have felt their whole life are written there! "Cute women" reflects someone who is calm and less drama.
A more muscular face shows that they will be hard to handle and experience strong emotions regularly. Eye smiles please.

Interstate · Answer

Cute is more down-to-earth, and sexy is more flashy. It is best to avoid sexy and look into basic attractiveness.

Bella I think for some people these two descriptions are distinct. But for me they merge together.  🙋‍♂️😀

pleasestopthis · Answer

I think so, there are cute people but not so sexy and others who are sexy but not so cute... A sexy person (for me) is one who has a very strong sex appeal

KeithLane · Answer

There are women that I may not even find cute but there is something about them, maybe a something little that they do and I just find it sexy as all hell. Don't get me wrong cute is a very good thing it is just different.

ChefPapiChulo · Answer

of course there's a difference. one is cute the other is sexy. DUHH

jshm2 · Answer

Obviously. The "difference" is usually whether you're jailbait or not.

Nothing wrong with being cute at any age. It's when you have kids and cougars try and look "sexy" that you really need to step up or step back,

Yes. You can be one or the other, or both at the same time. Also, as the old adage goes, it's in the eye of the beholder.

Caliguy88 · Answer

I don’t see a difference in my opinion but I’d say I’d expect a sexy girl to dress sexy and a cute girl to dress cute. Lol. That’s how I look at it.

Mark987 · Answer

Cute is the girl next door... wearing jogging pants and just wants to chill. Sexy is like wearing lingerie or being sexy

No difference. Cute IS sexy. Sexy IS cute.  You're talking about ATTRACTION. Love can't start till attraction does, and then there needs to be a conversation.

The difference between finding a 3 year old cute and finding them sexy is a criminal record.

scooogy · Answer

I think cuteness provokes rather gentle treatment while sexiness provokes rather rough treatment.

Jaysonava · Answer

Very clear difference. Often cute people are also sexy making them extra attractive. But normally they are distinct.

Anonymous · Answer

Cute is loveably adorable and cuddlesome. Sexy is checking out her body and curves and naughty thoughts.

Sexy makes me think of strippers. Cute makes me think of oversized hoodies.

The difference is that sexy is more about sexual attractiveness,  and cute is about beauty

Assuming you're talking about a woman and not a child or a puppy, not really. You can be one without being the other but that is not the norm.
