Girls, Why do you still consider "cute" a compliment?

[invalid1]

In fact it's quite condescending unless you're a lightweight, gay or very young.

We would never compliment each other this way. there's "good looking", "attractive" , "gentleman" ... etc. And some girls get surprised when this awakens the women abuser inside. is it hard to understand? Or do you really have a completely different DICKtionary?

How,,,, defend yourselves! How am I supposed to take "cute' positively?

Normally, cute reflects on a person's behavior rather than looks. If a guy's behavior was cute to you, if you blurt it out, it's taken as an objective view of their personality. We're all cute to girls and women, it's how we supposed to act towards them. But overall it's rather not said than being said if you are into manners ladies. Am I making sense to you? I think I am. or if it means attractive, there are many other words that can convey the idea more clearly, you can use them instead.

"Cute:

Attractive in a pretty or endearing way."

Nothing about that definition is negative or condescending.

Isn't it synonymous to "non threatening" ?

[LazerBean]

I personally have not heard it used in that sense.

I reckon it's something rather not be said, than said. even if it's a good thing.

I would feel nice and shy if a guy calls me cute
