I mean all of them are fine, but handsome would be more appropriate because it is your crush. Cute sounds more like what you say to a baby.😆 But its not like a earth shattering mistake as such. It's fine.

I don't know why some guys think that cute is an insult. Like, one time I told a guy he was cute and he said “don’t call me cute, I’m not a puppy”...

CubsterShura · Accepted Answer

Cute is a good thing though... I actually find 'cute' guys very attractive. Have no idea why others see it as an insult.

CharlieUnicorn · Answer

Just see how he presents himself. How he interacts with you and other people.

If he's the one who always entertains the room and have people laughing, he wants to be called The really fun guy.
If he's the type to dress with care and moves around with a sense of style, call him handsome.
If he likes to work with his hands and/or is otherwise an achiever, call him capable and strong.
If he's this childlike/playful (in a positive way!) type of guy who's playing Pokémon trading card games with you, call him cute.

Can't go wrong with Attractive/Hot most of the time though. Maybe the childlike guy might feel a little less comfortable with it, but it should work well enough anyway.

Instead of "others" you should have put a vote for " Neither" instead. Anyways I chose vote E. My answer is neither.

Well honestly those sound like compliments to me and I have always disliked compliments of any type. I honestly never want to hear any compliments about me and I would never want people to compliment me ever. That is what I would ideally want.

However, that being said I never tell people anything, I don't control the actions of others and so many people have complimented me many times and often and they still do, even recently I received compliments and yes even those that you have mentioned but I just outright ignore any good things or compliments that people give me, I turn a deaf ear to compliments.

Good things or compliments my opinion is the same, doesn't change. Hope my answer was clear.

ShortCircuit · Answer

I know women typically don't mean it this way when they call a man "cute", but men perceive the word to have an element of implied "meekness" in addition to just being a synonym for "attractive". And we don't want to be regarded as meek. We want to be regarded as attractive in a... well, "masculine" way.

"Handsome" just sounds like something a mother or grandmother would say.

So yeah, I'd prefer "attractive", or "fine", or "hot", or "sexy", to name a few.

Chobitsmaster · Answer

I'd love to be called anything positive tbh, but I just love the word cute. Like attractive, it can be used for more than just looks. Could be used to describe personality as well. However I like the word cute because I feel it's used more as a form of endearment. To me I'd prefer cute a over intelligent, funny, or handsome.

scholastic_vibez · Answer

A girl that was always attracted to me said, “You’re handsome as usual,” but amongst the choices here, everything I’ve read about women calling a guy handsome says she thinks you’re classy, and attractive, but not attractive in the sense that she’d sleep with you. So, while it’s nice to be called handsome, I feel mixed about it because it’s not sexy, it’s more look how your grandmother would describe you as attractive.

Anonymous · Answer

I’d prefer cute. But women often don’t use cute in that way. I find that women find “cute” not to be that much of a synonym for attractive compared to men. For men, “cute” is the best aesthetic to see in a girl. But for girls, it seems like they see “cute” as more of a platonic thing.

So while I would prefer women to use “cute”for me based on what I see as cute, it’s apparent that women use it more platonically, so if you’re going to use “cute” then it needs to be overly displayed as you finding them attractive in some way and not some random platonic compliment that means nothing.

Just be confident and it really doesn’t matter... it’s more telling of your personality — what kind of pet name or things you say.

I feel like what’s happening here is you’d prefer to be asked if someone was going to start calling you something whereas me I’m like as long as you don’t emasculate me (call me cute or pretty) Ima be like aww yea she calls me mr hairy legs

I-C3_ME · Answer

I like being called handsome or attractive, however i prefer attractive cuz that also includes my personality most of the time, that's (in my opinion) where people like me the most (dating or otherwise)

jamesgoldman · Answer

Fine like my cigars, jewellery and the drink in my glass  N. b. could have said tailoring but my suit is off the rail and the extras are eclectic at best and eccentric at worse... see attached photo

BigJake · Answer

I think fine would probably be the best of those. Handsome feels like something your grandma might call you, cute is a descriptor for a puppy, and attractive is generic enough to be sanctioned by the EU.

jtg13 · Answer

Anything other than cute really. I'm not a puppy, or a baby. Cute too me speaks of not being developed, or outside your means

JohnAlaska43 · Answer

All the above. I like a woman who knows how to complement me.  Makes me feel real good about myself.

Randomawkwardness · Answer

I don't think it really matters as long as you're getting the basic idea across

jamesritchey · Answer

Handsome is less imasculating than cute. Being called cute makes you feel about 8.

ZeFreGer · Answer

I personally like all except cute, not that there's something wrong with that word, but in my head it's reserved for women. 🤷‍♂️

IrishInVan96 · Answer

If he likes tou, any of the above will be appreciated.

But if you want to make an impression make the compliment personal. Be descriptive when complimenting, like "You look handsome, that shirt looks good on you" or "you've got a great smile".
I promise you, that guy will go home thinking about that aspect of them you pointed out. And this is only heightened if they like you too.
