Being called cute, might be the same as being called hot. Where as being called hot, doesn't have the same innocence behind its meaning. I wouldn't say one is a "better" compliment. It really just depends on what you want to be called. Some women like one, but hate the other.

Saying a woman is hot, can be seen as objectifying her, which some women have made very clear they don't like. So men have learned to use the word cute for any attractive woman.

Since the word cute can be applied to things that are clearly not being seen as sex objects, it is not as offensive to most women. Or at least it isn't as offensive to the group of women that are currently screaming the loudest. There is a growing number of women making clear they want to be called sexy and hot, but they are still the minority and not as vocal about it.

Hot would be more body oriented, cute would be more of an all around compliment. When guys see a girl who is well endowed, we'll refer her as hot. I will usually call a girl cute if she has a majestic face, and a good personality. When I call a girl cute I also respect her. Calling a girl hot would mostly just indicate sexual desires, rather then emotional and sexual.

Hot is more based on a girls physical appearance like her over all body/look.

Cute is looking adorable her actual look/appearance including face smile etc and not just our over all shapes and fun parts.

I think hot is a bigger compliment because they're saying you're sexually attractive... cute is more like... oh! you and this bunny over here have sooo much in common. Lol.

I see cute as very attractive overall (mentally balanced, good communicator, and physically fit) .. I use Hot, when I know the girl real well and we have been in the bedroom together (If you know what I mean) .. I don't see 'Hot' is being an insult, it is just more intimate and a bit sexual..:)

I think cute. To me its more all encompassing. Like its saying Im hot and have a likable (cute) personality. Its more interesting for me to have both and its a better compliment. I guess it depends what your definition of cute is.

We're called cute by our Grandma's. We're called hot by those who find us sexually attractive. Simple choice.

It really depends on what you're looking to be complimented on. Hot is much more physical oriented and related to your body. Cute to me is more innocence oriented and not as physical.

They're the same except that hot is more intimidating to say

nickstaa · Answer

Hot because I like to think that means they're sexually attracted to you.

cute is often used to describe teddy bears and animals lol so when I hear that I'm not sure if they like me or not. But I guess both are better than nothing.

Cute is her face and how she talk and attractive generalizes her entire body (she looks so fine) maybe also the way she use her words to attract us. I can't really say which one is better cuz they're both are really good compliments.

NovemberJoseph · Answer

I think it depends on what I want from her. If I don't like her, then hot is a better compliment. If I would get with her, then I'd prefer she called me cute.

hot is more attractive than cute but it also has a slight sexual connotation so probably isn't best used with friends.
