Can someone who is cute have sex appeal?

[AngeeLL]

Like some women just can look at a guy a certain way and it’ll drive him crazy but then you have some who are just cute and them trying to be sexy rather it’s in their walk, or a look they give, or how they talk, it comes off as awkward more than it does sexy lol.

When we crave physical intimacy with another, we inevitable give off that vibe, chalk it down to pheromones or sexual tension or whatever else. Not to mention, when the party involved is feeling aroused (biologically- no particular outside stimulus for the reaction), the actions of the person they're attracted to just seems so much more desirable in a sense.
Our perception of a person's sex appeal also has biological bases to it, or more accurately, it can be influenced by evolutionary selection. Back in the days, men picked mates who gave them the impression of being natural care-givers and well "equipped" to carry on the bloodline. Likewise, women picked mates who seemed more likely to be able to protect and provide for his family. So the whole "submissive women" and "dominant men" may have arisen in response to this.
"Cute" women seem a lot more submissive than feminine, bold, confident women. So that itself could be appealing to some.
Then there's that conception that awkward women are very attractive. I can't substantiate to what extent that holds but a "cute" woman perhaps making the first move despite seeming to be rather lost per se is possibly a charm of it's own.

Yes. I once read somewhere that there was a study that was trying to find the most attractive trait. The results of the study showed that men thought that the most attractive trait a woman could have is playfulness. Play is natural thing that pretty much all species take part in and enjoy. I think that being cute and being playful is the perfect combo for attracting men. Beautiful/sexy women can come off as too intimidating for the average guy to approach. But cute playful women seem happy, confident, and approachable. Cute women can definitely be sexy. You just have to break the stereotype of the shy cute girl who doesn’t know she’s cute. Be cute, be confident, be happy, and be playful and I can practically guarantee you that guys will get insta-erections at the sight of you.

What is playfulness

[Opinion Owner]

@Hassaniscool the quality of being light-hearted or full of fun.

Depends on who is using the word cute and what they mean by it. I don't use the word cute for people I find sexually attractive. Cute is for puppies or children, there is a childlike connotation to it. I don't think I've called a man cute since I was a preteen. Even men I don't find attractive, I think the word suggests a power imbalance and I wouldn't use it to describe an adult human. That being said many people do use it to suggest attraction so like I said it depends.

A cute girl can be sexy. In my opinion, the advantage cute girls have is the element of surprise.

I dated one or two petite cute girls back in college. Girls who looked so precious and unassuming. But then, I got the shock of my life when I found out most of them were domineering sex Goddesses in bed. Slaping, biting, spanking, etc.

From that moment on, I never saw cute girls the same way ever again. My mind would always linger because I started thinking, the cuter a girl is the more dominant she is in bed.

And for an extroverted guy like me, it's nice to be dominanted by a girl every once in awhile. Refreshing change of pace. Especially when you know she's enjoying herself while she does it to you.

[hahahmm]

Men & women don’t mean the same thing when they say ‘cute’ with rare exceptions like little kids & small animals.

To a guy cute IS sexy. Just a lighter form/subtle version of it. A woman who is confident with her sexuality/flirty is going to be on the ‘sexy’ side of the spectrum (assuming guys like how she looks & acts) while the shy/reserved would tend to be more towards the cute. All other things being equal.

Or the same woman could be sexy some of the time & cute some of the time.

When a guy says you’re cute it’s not an insult. Neither is being ‘sexy’ necessarily a compliment. Depends on the details.

You ask that like being 'cute' is somehow not considered 'sexy'? I disagree! My favorite past girlfriends were very 'cute' and were 'nice girls' and that was part of why I liked them enough to meet them! We connected, and shared interests, food, and things we liked to do, and they always wanted to look 'cute' when they dressed. Just their way. Loved it, loved them, and 'cute' is sometime what leads to sex appeal, and later more things. . .

Yes, this girl is the cutest person I've ever seen in my life but she can be sexy when she wants to be. I don't think every cute girl can also be sexy though. To me cuteness is often more appealing, there's just a warmth about cute girls.

[Apope16]

Reading your question it seems to me that you get it. It really is about your confidence and attitude. That is the difference between cute and sexy. You can be a shy girl in a tight dress and look pretty. You can be a confident girl with a brisk walk with attitude and look sexier than the girl with the dress on. It is how you carry yourself that makes you sexy.

[TheKack]

Women who are confident tend to carry more sex appeal. Cute girls have their own appeal that doesn't have to match traditional "sexy" ideals. Personally, I'm more attracted to the girls considered "cute" for a wide variety of reasons, and they are sexier to me than girls that are traditionally sexy.

[loveslongnails]

The girl you are looking at thinking "aww, she's cute but awkward if she tries to be sexy", is the SAME girl some other guy is looking at, and he's thinking "DAMN, this girl is sexy no matter she does". And he thinks the same about some other girl that YOU think is sexy ! But to answer more directly, YES... if she starts out as cute in your mind, and you keep digging her, she'll turn into sexy real quick.

[Rob171977]

A cute woman no matter how hard she tries can never pull off sexy it just doesn't work. Just like a sexy woman can never pull off cute. It's the yin and yang of being beautiful. But at least sexy and cute can't be ugly (on the outside anyways) but then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What one person finds beautiful another may not find it as much.

[BirdFan360]

Cute > Sexy.
Sexy is nice for the 15 min's of smexy time.
Cute is nice for the WHOLE time you're with her.

I think a cute look can also be a sexy look... if it's about attitude however I see what you mean. It may indeed not be evident for a cute (let's beautiful and a little shy) girl to sell herself as being sexy.

[supercutebutt]

There is nothing sexy about cute people. Only ugly people can be hot. WTF kinda question is this? LOL :). I think people are running out of things to ask.

[MusicMayhem]

They can though only up to a point because cute girls are dreadfully shy and conservative so will never engage in sex. So ultimately the built up sexual tension amounts to nothing but disappointment and you move on to date an actual adult.

[CubsterShura]

Being cute doesn't have sex appeal but it's generally something pleasant and they know you're a grown-ass adult.

[AngelAimée]

Yes, everyone has different sides to them. Just because they are cute majority of the time it doesn't mean they can't be sexy at all.

[LittleTroubleMaker94]

I hope so I always wonder this is as well. I sometimes feel more like a kid in adult clothing when I try really hard to be sexy

[wwefan1212]

Can I ask you a question

[BigOleMatt]

You absolutely are both.

[LittleTroubleMaker94]

Aww well thank you.

More often its their hidden naughtiness that turns us (atleast me) ON. My girl is very cute and she does this eyebrow twitch to discreetly suggest naughty things in public. Its EXTREMELY arousing. For others, it looks very innocent.

[Anonymous]

Cute can be sexy yes. Like they said look at anime as a example. Don’t focus on the negative and what you don’t have. There are people who will like you just the way you are and there’s no need for it.

[SkinnyThickLover]

Some one who is cute is seen as beautiful by her boyfreind. Girls can always drive their boyfreinds crazy

[Sonorous]

Their cuteness wouldn't affect my sexual attraction towards them.

[JakeMist86]

I think it depends on preference, I actually prefer cute over overtly sexual. Seeing cute things just kinda makes you happy, sex is great, but cute is forever!

[Rfvgtyh]

Good news for cuties all around

[luvstoned4him]

It can

although I consider women who are confident and fierce have the most sex appeal.

[Pamina]

You're asking as if everyone finds the same things sexy...
