What does it mean to you when you call a girl cute, pretty, attractive, hot, etc?

[FM223]

I've noticed nowadays that I've always been called either cute or pretty, and once I've been called attractive by this guy in my class. I've only heard because I hear those guys talking about girls. I have an innocent looking face with big, innocent looking eyes (people tell me they're my best feature), and nice hair, and a good eye smile as well. Here's the thing though, all the guys that have called me cute were either average looking or below, and the guy that called me attractive is pretty good looking-and not just to me as I've witnessed girls looking at him in class too. What are the differences between cute, pretty, attractive, and all those other words to describe someone in your opinion? Because whenever someone calls me at least one of those when their with friends and talking about girls, I hear it and my self esteem goes up a little-since I've been called weird by those immature attractive guys in my school.

[theharlequin]

Yeah, this is a hard one to answer because there is so much more to it than just word choice. The guy's age, his culture, his personality, his communication skills, and what/how he intends to communicate will all affect his word choice and what he means by the words he chooses, so take this as a very broad generality.

'Cute' generally means childish, youthful, and/or innocent. It can also be an indirect way of saying 'attractive' without being obvious about it. For a guy of my generation and culture, saying a girl is cute usually means that she's caught my attention and that I think she has potential to be more, perhaps with age, experience, etc.

'Attractive' is usually a more direct and formal way of saying 'cute.' It's usually used by guys who are more comfortable with their attraction to a girl and are more open and direct about it.

'Pretty' is more about artistic or aesthetic appeal, kinda like a pretty porcelain doll or a pretty sunset. In reference to a woman, it's usually about her aesthetic appeal rather than her personal or sexual appeal.

'Beautiful' is one of my favorites because it encompasses much more, from her aesthetic beauty to her feminine beauty to her personality. And women usually love to hear it.

'Hot' or 'sexy' typically refer only to sexual attractiveness on a superficial level. As such, they kinda have connotations like 'cheap' or 'object' or 'play toy.'

'Ladylike' is a common one you didn't mention. It's often used in reference to a girl's behavior rather than her appearance, but it can also mean that she has a dignified and mature appearance.

Lastly, 'womanly' is the gentleman's way of saying 'hot.' It doesn't reduce her to merely a female body to play with, but it communicates a sexual appeal in a very mature way, much moreso than something like saying 'beautiful' or 'ladylike.'

This turned out longer than I intended, but maybe you can find something useful in it. Just keep in mind that this is how a 40 year old man would use these words - not a high school guy. ;)

[FM223]

Yeah, but back when you were in high school did you kind of use those terms in that way too or were they completely different in your view.

[theharlequin]

Yes, I've always used these terms like this, but guys from different generations may use them differently. They're probably not too different, though

[super147]

To me cute means you could just hug them and hold them, it's a good thing. Pretty says that they have nice attributes and an appealing face although it doesn't necessarily apply huge attraction. For instance, a painting can be pretty but that doesn't mean that you'd buy it.

Attractive implies attraction, it means that something about the person interests you and you'd be interested in experiencing more of it.

People tend to use these terms quite interchangeably though so you can never really define what they mean by it because it's somewhat subjective.

[FM223]

It's just that when his friend asked if he liked me when my crush was staring at me, he replied by saying that he just found me attractive.

[super147]

That's a good start! Attractive is a good thing, it means that there is opportunity. No guy has ever said "I find that girl attractive and so I'd never date her", lol. Guys do like to play it cool though, particularly around other guys. He's not going to admit that he's crazy about you or anything.

[FM223]

He stares at me lot, as I've noticed and has always been the one to look away first. He also always looks at me when my name is called.

[super147]

The initial signs are good. You should try and spend a bit more time with him if you can, because that's how things happen. If you can find reasons to be sat next to him or to be around him in general then it gives more opportunity for conversation. Guys aren't hard to approach really, and it's not like we don't like girls liking us.

[FM223]

I actually have been seated next to him. On the day after I heard him call me attractive when talking to his friend, the teacher moved my seat next to his because there were no more places for it to be put. He had his head down the entire time and he didn't really look at me as much when I wasn't near, but I did see him look at me from the corner of my eye. I tested him out by making a pencil drop, and I tapped him on the shoulder when he was talking to his friend. His friend pointed to me and he turned around. I asked him to pick it up and when he did, he looked between my hand and my desk and decided to place it firmly on the table. instead of handing it to me. I was kind of weirded out, and when I asked him for the time he replied quickly as if he didn't want to talk to me.

[super147]

Guys can sometimes be shy too, especially in front of their guy friends. I wouldn't take anything too much as solid information. What would tell you most is when you get the chance to be on your own with him, where he can be himself.

[FM223]

But that hasn't really happened and I never had the opportunity. I want to talk to him, but I get pretty nervous and don't know what to say. I like his personality and I identify with the way he acts with his friends. He also seems pretty confident because he participates a lot in class, but i see the way he looks at girls and he gets nervous. I can tell.

[super147]

There you go then, if he is nervous with girls then it is no surprise that his contacts with you have been a bit shy and hesitant. So you may need to be brave enough to create the opportunities for conversation, a bit like you have been doing already. You don't have anything to lose. If he doesn't go for it you still know that he found you attractive, it's not like he thinks you are hideous or anything. You still have your pride intact.

Don't worry about what to say, the nerves are because you are overthinking it. Talking is easy, we do it from a very young age. It is only the pressure that we ourselves apply to certain situations that make it difficult. Think about it this way, if I asked you to tie your shoes you'd do it in a split second. If I asked you to do it in front of 50,000 people and said that a billion pounds/dollars depended on it then you might find that your fingers stop working, lol. It's all in the mind. You know how to talk, have confidence in that.

[FM223]

He once talked to me, I remember. Before he admitted anything, I remembered once when I asked for a sheet of paper that the teacher was giving out to people who didn't receive it, he told me to check in my folder. He must've assumed I already did, because I wouldn't have asked. He said "oh" quietly, and quickly turned around as if nothing happened. Did he try to start a conversation or what?

[super147]

He might have been trying to start a conversation, yes. At least he was considerate towards you and that's a good sign too. I can't imagine trying to help someone that I didn't like or had zero interest in.

[FM223]

Maybe, I don't know. But I didn't talk to him since then. He flashed me a friendly smile the next day when I saw him in the hallway. His friend didn't, but he did. Maybe it was in the morning or whatever, but I don't think his friend likes me that much.

[super147]

Keep looking out for the opportunities to be with him on your own, they will come. Then you will have a far better idea of how he feels. It's exciting anyway, to like someone. It doesn't always turn out, but sometimes it does and it's all part of the fun. If there was no risk there'd be no excitement anyway :)

[FM223]

I guess you're right. I'll try to approach him the next time I see him on the lunchline or something. I saw him staring at me then so maybe he'll appreciate the fact that I approached him. What do you think he thought when he saw me in the cafeteria and started looking as if he was in a trance? I saw him notice me across the tables, and he was eating his lunch and he gazed out-then he snapped out of it. I saw him the next day too, but he looked away after we stared at each other for a few seconds.

[super147]

If he holds eye contact with you for longer than split seconds then he's likely to be interested. But he doesn't want to give too much away. Remember, many guys don't like rejection either so we're not always going to put ourselves out there unless we're sure. Especially in front of our guy friends because they will be making fun of us for LIFE, lol.

[FM223]

I'm not sure if his friend saw it or not, but it was pretty obvious he was looking over.

[FM223]

Would it be weird if I just approached him randomly out of no where when he's at the cafeteria? And what do you think I should ask him about in class? I saw that once when he thought I wasn't looking (I'm very good at hiding it), he looked at me and scanned my face with his eyes in a triangle pattern (left side, right side, and down to my lips-and then he quickly looked me up and down, kind of smiling to him self a bit with a smirk. His head was tilted to the side. Why do you think he smiled like that and did the smirk?

[super147]

I would guess it was attraction and/or admiration. The head tilt is often a sign of attraction, or confusion but there is no reason for your face to confuse him, lol. It wouldn't be weird for you to approach him, no. Why shouldn't you? It's normal for human beings to interact. In class you could ask him about some work that you have to do, just as a starting point. Or ask where he got something, like a bag or a book or whatever. Anything to open conversation. You could ask him if you have ink on your face even, make him look at you! :)

[FM223]

He never smiled or smirked like that though, which was why it got me thinking this in the first place.

[LittleMissPetite1991]

Well some guys find you attractive but you need to careful because most guys in your age groups just wants sex. For my opinion if a guy called you hot , he would mean you have a banging body and thinking about sex. Cute is like innicent. I'm not a guy so I don't know.
Attractive beautiful, attractive personality somewhat

[jp612612]

I mean, I don't know if those terms have changed in current speak but at your age, calling someone attractive or hot is a pretty serious statement. When you're a teen, you have this small social circle and you typically aren't going to really commit to calling a girl hot unless you know that you aren't going to catch any flack for it. In other words, a "hot" girl is a girl who everyone would agree is pretty damn good looking. Cute is the lowest rung there as that's a non-committal statement that the girl is not bad looking and might even be good looking.

But here's the thing about all of this -- this really means nothing because of the social aspect of it all. In high school, you cannot be considered hot unless you're also in the popular crowd. It's weird and it's the only time in your life that you'll ever see this social construct. When you go to college, girls and guys who were not considered anything at all in high school will suddenly be considered really good looking (even hot!) as they're suddenly judged by thousands of objective eyes who don't know and don't care what social clique they hung out with in high school.

Want a specific example? I went to high school with this girl Kylie Case. If you look her up, she's a runway model in New York who's married to some fashion designer. In high school, she was a nobody but she looks pretty much the exact same now as she did then. The only people who ever called her cute or pretty in high school were lower tier guys who were able to acknowledge how they felt about her looks without the risk of stepping out of their "caste". So yes, while those words might mean what I described, don't put too much weight in them because they're also run through the distorted filter of high school social structure.

By the way, I thought about buying one of her husband's dresses for this girl I was dating. I was thinking that those things would cost $800 tops. Uhh... apparently I know nothing about the cost of high fashion.

[Bandit74]

It kinda depends on the guy and how he defines those terms.

For me cute, beautiful, and sexy are all ways to say a girl is visually appealing but describe different types of visual appeal.

Cute means she looks good but has more of an innoscent/youthful vibe. Although it can also refer to her behavior and manerisms.

Beautiful is more of a neautral appeal I guess. She is visually appealing to look at and doesn't necessarily give off a sexy or innoscent vibe in that moment.

Sexy means she gives off more of a sexual/provocative vibe. This can be a result of her facial features, the way she dresses, her personality, or a combination of the three.

One thing to note is that you aren't nessesarily stuck in one category. For example, a girl who has cute facial features and dresses modestly can easily become sexy from changing her style or manerisms. Like if a cute girl is wearing lingerie for me I would find her more sexy than cute in that moment.

Some girls are more versatile than others tho. Like some can pull off cute, sexy, and beautiful while other can get stuck in one category. For example I would never describe Adriana Lima as cute. She is either sexy or beautiful. Now if you look up Barbara Palvin or Miranda Kerr, they have facial features that allow them to look cute, sexy, or beautiful depending on what they are wearing and how they have styled their hair and makeup.

[JuicyBrain]

s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...cb1ea7dea7.jpg
Cute girl. You want to meet her and know more about her.

s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...ca9b1e263e.jpg
Hot girl. Talking is not the first thing that comes to mind when you see her.

They are both pretty and attractive.

[FM223]

Lol, I get it. I guess I most likely fall into the cute category.

[JuicyBrain]

Believe me, it's not a problem. Both works.

[Mártainn]

Cute:
Compliments looks, personality, behaviour etc. in rather non-sexual way.

Pretty:
Compliments looks in a rather non-sexual way. This can also be used to discribe someone in a objective way. For example "She is pretty, but not my type."

Attractive:
Basically sexually attractive looks. This can be used in a rathe objective way as well.

Hot:
Compliments looks, personality, behaviour etc. in a rather sexual way. This is generally used to express your personal subjective opinion. It also implies some degree of interest I'd say.

[Cosytoasty]

There isn't much difference, i guess at that age the shy guys would call you cute instead of attractive. To call a girl hot would probably mean she is quite "developed" for her age, as in her facial features have settled, her hips and chest have filled out and she is somewhat good with makeup - people hit puberty in different ways and at different times.

Why would the guys call you weird though? Do you do strange things? It's best to ignore them because, like you say boys are immature at that age.

[FM223]

I'm not really weird, but I'm not as hot as those mature, pretty, fully developed girls. I'm average, but I lean more to average girls that are pretty and cute. In other words, on the attraction scale I'd either be a 5 to a 6. It's stupid, really, but sometimes I get curious. What do you think it means if a guy just admits to his friend that he finds a girl attractive? I noticed him looking at me since the beginning of the year.

[Cosytoasty]

If a guy says it to his friends then it probably means he's attracted to her, certainly 'would like to get to know better' kind of attractive. If he's been eyeing you up then it's almost certain, people don't look at things they don't find nice.

[FM223]

Would he admit that I was attractive if he had a girlfriend or liked another girl?

[Cosytoasty]

If he had a girlfriend... no I don't think he would. If he liked another girl yeah he might, us guys can easily find several girls are hot/pretty or whatever.

[FM223]

It's just that I heard his friend asking him, "why you like her" and things like that, but I'm not so sure if it was about me. When his friend asked if he liked me, he said "no, I just find her attractive" and turned to see if I heard him. I acted all passive aggressive, and his friend said "she doesn't like you" I remember recently when he was bored, he looked up and examined my face, looked up and down (I knew he tried to hide it), and smirked slightly to himself a bit with a smile.

[Kapakani]

Hm, cute and pretty is along the lines of someone that stands out with not just there looks but there personality to. Could be in how you deal, with friends that gets noticed or how you are as a person entirely, that goes beyond looks alone. Like to me cute is someone like this...
https://data.whicdn.com/images/226243451/large.gif

It's not sexy or hot. Where your first thoughts are along I want to bang this girl, or she has a hot body/"fat ass" sort of thing. If that makes sense.

[Nicolas321]

I think it means what it means. Don't get caught up in the specifics but just understand that they are compliments. Now if they called you hot that would most likely mean they just think your good looking and that's it. I think the biggest compliment you can give is that someone is beautiful. Just take it as a complements but don't always take it as they want to get into your pants. Chances are that if a dude has the balls to say your cute/pretty/attractive they probably think your too innocent to date or they are just the most confident dudes ever (unless they are good friends with you). If one calles you pretty and you like them too maybe try hitting it off. Its a compliment and you shouldn't think too deeply about it.

[Lendino]

Well, it's all positive words for sure. I don't think it's that big of a difference really... I'd say don't really think about that. If you like someone make sure he knows it. Don't be slutty or something, just stay closer to that person or talk to him as much as you can and he will get it. If he don't keep talking with him on social media or text and after a while tell him you want to go see a movie or something and you got no one to go with and if he would like to go with you. If that doesn't work just tell him you like him straight up. Anw, about your question, they are all pretty much the same, don't think about it too much, just be happy for their comment.

[AnonKuma]

They are not sexually attracted to you if they call you cute/pretty, but attracted to you because you're adorable.

Being adorable is like when a girl just gives a feeling to the guy that oh I just want to be like a big brother for her or I just want to help her in anyway possible or I want to see her smile because it brightens my world. It may be like a human gene to want to be overprotective/very concerned/focused on cute things because it gives us a sense that they are vulnerable

[FM223]

That guy who called me attractive noticed me since the beginning of the semester, because I saw him looking at me-and then looking away when I caught him. He would check me out to, but try to hide it. He once did the triangular glance at me (the 'social' gaze, when the eyes move to the left and right, down to the nose, but then I saw his head move lower which meant he was checking me out. He gave a very small, unoticeable smile (which I did notice, because his eyes lit up.)

[AnonKuma]

Alright it's a sorta a lucky and unlucky thing tho. Guys would most likely be attracted to you based on your looks first. Most guys wouldn't really be attracted to u right off the bat due to something else so this is the good and bad thing. Great for being cute/attractive, bad for attracting guys that like you for who you are and not for your looks

[FM223]

As they get to know me, would they start to like me for who I am or will the physical attraction just stay physical, unless we talk and get to know each other?

[AnonKuma]

If a guy doesn't talk to you at all, then most of the time it will stay as a physical attraction.
"Wow she is so cute/pretty." Which is just guys being blinded by lust or charm

If a guy starts to talk to you, u guys become friends, talk more often, get close, then they may start to like you for who you are. However, you being cute will always stay there in their heads so it's like
"Wow she's so cute/pretty/beautiful and she also has a 10/10 personality or she's so down to earth or etc etc etc. What a great girl/woman she would be perfect."

[FM223]

The only time he talked to me was when I asked the teacher for a paper and he told me to check in the class folder, which I probably assumed he would've thought I did.

[AnonKuma]

That exactly a real solid conversation if you get my drift lmao. You guys only talked about school/class which isn't really anything special. What I would categorize as getting to know someone is talking about their life such as their hobbies/interest. Talking about class does count, but your thing was just like "assignment excuse" which is like literally only talking about "oh blahblahblah about this homewrk or blahblahblah about this assignment which has no real substantial value to contributing to developing real feelings aside from lust or charm

[rjroy3]

Pretty is strictly about looks.
Cute is looks, but also generally talking about personality as well. You can be a cute person and look cute. Like "awww cute" or lovable, huggable.
Hot generally means more sexual than cute.
Sexy means you're thinking dirty thoughts about her.

Attractive is a more civil way of saying hot. Like he recognizes you as physically appealing, but not making a big deal over it.

[NJ_Casanova]

When I hear those words I think...
Cute = looks pretty and very young in an innocent way.
For example, A cute toddler that becomes a Pretty teen. Pretty doesn't have a sexual under tone like Gorgeous or beautiful does.
Beautiful = is more attractive than pretty and more sexual in description
Gorgeous being the sexual of the adjectives and highest attraction..

[enis_Penvy]

Cute is attractive with a youthful , innocent look to it. Pretty is attractive and to me has a bit of an ageless quality, because you can be pretty at 16 as well as 60.
Hot you either have it or you don't and it can change with your clothes, attitude, and appearance. Sometimes a pretty girl looks hot and sometimes she doesn't depending on what she wears

[Jjpayne]

It depends on the look and just plain choice of grammar. Cute implies sweet, innocent look. pretty implies the same as cute but is the more formal version, hot is for a girl that is showing her stuff and looking good doing it , attractive can be seen as formal for hot, does that make sense? I pretty sure it has the same type of meaning when girls say those things about guys

[Dim_121]

From what you described you sound like your cute. Now some people are just cute. Like a puppy or kitten you look cute to poeple. Nothing wrong with that it is just how you are. As a guy it normally is not flattering mentally cause were thinking well what kind of cute. For a woman it is normal to be cute.
Finding a guy that has interest in you is easier. If a guy likes you he will call you more than cute and mean it.

[Anonymous]

Attractive is an acknowledgment that someone is good looking but with no real emotional attachment to them.
Hot is when someone is attracted to your appearance on more of a sexual level.
Cute IMHO is the best compliment because it means you find both their looks and their personality. It is more a emotional relationship level.
Pretty is just a poorly innocent compliment on your good looks

[gucciboy]

Cute: Something I would say to a friend (FRIENDZONE)
Pretty: I think you look great!
Attractive: I am drawn to you. I want to ask you out very bad.
Hot: I really really really want to know how you are in bed.

[FM223]

I don't really know him much, so I'm not sure if he'd want to ask me out just by how I look and act in class.

[Anonymous]

it means you are objectisized.

Trump rising to power, have proved to the world, that women are no more than objects that can be verbally abused. They are incapable of violence and standing up for themselves. You can call them things like: looser, slob, ugly, fat, etc...

no matter how successful you are as a women, you'll come in second to a blond man who calls you these things. Why? because girls will just take it. They "like" it. They don't got ANGER, they aren't capable of higher level thought. This is what this election win means to women.

Maybe next your voting rights will be taken away. Maybe next you won't be considered people like 150 years ago. Keep try to get affirmation from the superior sex males. they can sexually harass you and still rise to the top.

you tool.

[Opinion Owner]

are you a NASTY WOMAN? In the words of Trump.

[Theleftguy]

if someone calls you cute or pretty then they're most likely sweet guys that want something with you besides sex. if someone calls u attractive, its basically another meaning for "your hott" which means they love your body.

[FM223]

I noticed he stares at me a lot, and saw that when he was bored he looked over at me and sort of examined my face and then slowly started looking down at my body-and then he smiled or smirked to himself (not sure because he tilted his head) and started to look at me, but then looked away when I caught him.

[Theleftguy]

oh. well to me it kinda sounds like. he doesn't want u just for the sex. I mean, he didn't just stare at ur body, he also looked at ur face too. if a guy specifically just wants to fuck you, he wouldn't be paying very much attention to. your face

[FM223]

There was one time he was paying attention to my, you know... But he just kept looking at my face afterwards. Why do you think he smiled to himself?

[Theleftguy]

well honestly all guys are gonna look at ur body parts, but it doesn't mean all they wanna do is have sex or touch u. and With the smiling part. He probably smiled to himself cos he admires how good you look.

[FM223]

I also noticed that when I saw him in the cafeteria, he gave me this nice long stare and then continued eating, but he would look back every now and then as well. I saw him on the line today (the other thing was yesterday) when I was looking at him, he saw and then quickly looked to the right and down-looking back afterwards for one second. I kind of think he's cute, but I'm shy to talk to him.

[Theleftguy]

well it seems like he's kinda shy to talk to u too lol. jus go with the flow of things for a little bit. start smiling at him when u catch him staring. it'll hint that ur interested

[FM223]

I don't know why he couldn't approach me though. He seems confident because he always participates in class...

[Theleftguy]

its wayyyyy different when it comes to confronting girls. some guys would do anything, but confront a girl

[FM223]

I kind of never thought of it that way. I thought that if you like a girl, then you'd talk to her.

[Theleftguy]

if a guy has had multiple girlfriends in the past and is extremely confident and doesn't fear rejection. he'll go for that girl. this guy, he probably hasn't had a lot of girlfriends in the past, and he probably fears rejection

[FM223]

Makes sense, but there was one time when he did talk to me, sort of. I was asking the teacher to give me a sheet that she was offering to those who didn't have it, and when she said I needed one, he turned around and told me to check in my folder (which he should've assumed I already did if I was asking for one). When I said that he said "oh" quietly and quickly turned around and continued working. He also looked me up and down while talking, but it was pretty fast (he does this a lot, and usually looks away when I notice it).

[Theleftguy]

that's a good thing tho. cos if he's a man whore he wouldn't be shy

[Theleftguy]

oh we wrote that on the same time but oh, honestly u should just go with the flow of things but be careful

[FM223]

Do you think it would be weird if I just come up and talk to him on the lunchline the next time I see him? And then I talk about some random thing like the election or the classwork and all that bias?

[Theleftguy]

nah it wouldn't be weird at all. guys like it when girls make the first move too. it'll also show him that ur interested

[FM223]

I tested him out once to see how he'd react. I dropped a pencil "by accident" and started looking for it. I tapped him on the shoulder, and his friend pointed at me. The guy turned around and his eyes grew big that it made me nervous. I asked him if he could pick up my pencil, and he did-but instead of handing it to me, he was about to reach my hand but then put it on my desk. He looked over from my hand and my desk and placed it firmly. It kind of gave me a wrong impression.

[Theleftguy]

he was honestly nervous and didn't know what to do. u might be over thinking this. just try talking to him tomorrow and see how it goes

[FM223]

I'm planning on it, if he goes to the cafeteria or in class. I plan on trying to smile at him once too and see how he reacts. And I remember before, whenever he'd hear my name he'd look at me, but now he just looks down instead when he hears my name. Yeah, I'm really overthinking it but I'd like to know if there was anything wrong or something... Do you usually look at a girl you find attractive when you hear her name?

[Theleftguy]

um well it depends. stop over thinking this lol. just have confidence in urself. good luck tomorrow

[FM223]

Thanks. If I plan talking to him in the cafeteria, what do you think I should ask him in class? About the test or something?

[Theleftguy]

ask him bout the test And try bringing up other things that u both have in common. like school stuff

[FM223]

hey, do you mind following me so we can message if I have any other questions?

[Theleftguy]

yeah sure I'll follow back. hmu if u need any more advice. I'll do the same thing

[Theleftguy]

hey do you know how I bring up my xper level? It says I can't message u unless I bring it up

[supernerd99]

well boys will look at you i ou are pretty. get used to it... .

[supernerd99]

if you*

[giraffeinasaturn]

cute- you look innocent and sweet but still attractive at the same time.
pretty- I usually only use to describe faces.
attractive- just good features in general
hot- bad bitch with a good body
sexy- good body
that's how i use them at least

[FM223]

And a teen would see them the same way?

[giraffeinasaturn]

I imagine so. I've been using them that way since I was 16 at least. I'm only 20 so I wouldn't think things would be that different

[FM223]

Do you think you could follow me so I could send you a message? You give good advice, and I need some through a guy's perceptive.

[giraffeinasaturn]

Yeah no problem

[supernerd99]

these words mean nothing specific. a million individuals, a million different nuances. also only gag pop culture has made them "unique things describing a certain female attribute"... .

[amorpheus69]

It's an interesting question. I think any of those adjectives would be good.
Personally I find 'weird', or different to be a good thing. Who want's to be like everyone else. Your description of yourself sounds intriguing, and very cute, beautiful, and attractive. Experience tells me it's the innocent girls who you need to watch out for. They'll knock you out of your socks.

[MrMafioso]

Cute when I wanna do sweet stuff with her like cuddle with her or tease her. Hot when I think instantly of sex. Pretty when I admire her looks maybe she's classy sophisticated. Beautiful when she's perfect for me. Attractive when she is a starnger and she's got the looks.

[normalice]

cute - face
hot - body
sexy - style (sexual)
beautiful - style (non-sexual)
pretty - a combination of the three
attractive - a formal word for pretty.

[PiuBravoRagazzo]

Cute=good looking enough to date and young
Hot= I want to have sex with her she is so beautiful
Attractive= they feel attracted to you, so do most people
Pretty= all the superficial things you have on point (hair, clothes, make up, etc)

[FM223]

So if his friend asks if he likes me or not, and he says "no, I just find her attractive" then that means?

[PiuBravoRagazzo]

He wouldn't mind a hook up. But nothing really else 😐

[FM223]

Oh, I see. But if we became friends do you think he'd develop a crush on me?

[PiuBravoRagazzo]

Well of course! haha, it takes time to like somebody, and even more time to want to spend more time and enter a relationship.

At your age be careful though, boys are flaky

[FM223]

No kidding. Do you mind sending me a comment so I can ask you for your opinion on what has happened so far?

[PiuBravoRagazzo]

You mean a message?
Sure thing

[FM223]

Yeah, a message

[PiuBravoRagazzo]

You have to follow me lol or change your privacy settings for me to send a message

[alfonsosloan45]

Guys will in general think anything that looks have good is cute. Don't take cute as a compliment. Cute is a very broad term. If they can't tell you specifically what like about you then they aren't being sincere.

[FM223]

He hasn't really said anything specific. When his friend asked him if he liked me, he said "no, I just find her attractive". Do you think he means that?

[alfonsosloan45]

Ohhhh, he wants to have sex with you. There is no doubt.

[FM223]

So it's just that?

[martyfellow]

Cute means girlish, innocent looking, with the big round eyes...

Pretty means generally attractive, big round eyes or not, innocent or not!

[Cg247]

Guys your age are only horny little buggers, all the words mean the same: I want to have sex with you.

[FM223]

Thank you for your opinion. I've witnessed a lot and I want to be friends with some guys that I know, but I don't know if they'd only befriend me to get sex. Due to hormones, during their teen years guys really can't be just friends with a girl... But is there a possibility you could form a relationship with a guy who finds you attractive through friendship? Like, talking in class and such or will they not be interested?

[Cg247]

It's very unlikely they would be true "friends" those are acquired during childhood, or by going through rough times. When you meet a guy at your age, he's so pumped with hormones that it simply won't happen. However sometimes great sexual relationships happen.. my advice would be to make great female friends and find one special guy.

[FM223]

Just sexual? I understand we won't be true "friends" but I really do want to get to know this one guy that's pretty cool in my class. The one that found me attractive as I mentioned in the question was that I kind of recognized my personality in that guy who told his friend that I was attractive. I just wanted to start talking and see if anything would happen... if we get to know each other, how do you think he'd treat me? Like, would he develop a crush on me or something?

[Cg247]

Yeah he would develop a crush, in fact most likely he already has one if you are attractive :).
I wouldn't say it's just sexual although without sex he wouldn't consider it.

[FM223]

Without sex he wouldn't consider a relationship? And most high school relationships end within just a few weeks, or even less than three months. That's why I'm sort of scared because I don't want to go through that break up phase when I see my friend and her boyfriend have been dating for almost a year-and when one of my friends broke up with her boyfriend of one month she was devastated. I know it's apart of life, but I just want to find the right guy and don't know how to do that if they're all about sex.

[Cg247]

Every guy will want sex, so unless you're ready for that, I'd recommend you hold off a relationship. Also if you do end up having sex make sure you use a condom properly

[supernerd99]

NOT all men are as he describes asker. also remember nothing is only black or white. only shades of grey. what does "just sexual" means? most guys that will get horny over you, it doesn't mean they are emotionless robots that won't love you even a little. i'd dare to say some men are more sentimental and likely to cling on that women.

[AmeerX]

Cute is when a person looks child like, pretty is a more mature compliment in my opinion, attractive and beautiful is for someone who is womanly mature and hot is more of a sexual sense. At least that is what they mean to me

[be_real101]

there's no hidden message behind those compliments, they like what they see. everybody habe their own preference about being cute, sexy, hot but you need to be comfortable and needs to be confident

[FM223]

Thanks for the answer, but I'm just wondering why he said "attractive" out of all those terms.

[be_real101]

go ask him, he will tell you

[FM223]

eh, I think that's a little weird. I don't want to be direct like that.

[CyberToothTiger]

I think basically Cute, Pretty, Attractive all means the same to me.

[disgustingweebtrash]

There isn't much difference, also guys like different things, some guys like attractive girls some guys like cute girls.

[bolenj43]

Cute and pretty mean they would rather have a relationship not just sex. Attractive or hot means like a one nightstand or a hookup sort of thing.

[FM223]

His friend basically asked if he liked me and he said that he just found me attractive.

[Anonymous]

90% of time is half truth- half manipulation to flatter female vanity. especially when overemphasised and repeated. some times is just what we feel.

[FM223]

They weren't telling me that directly; I usually heard it when they were talking to their friends.

[Welladjustedeyes]

Cute means cute, attractive means pleasant to look at pretty means pretty

[hotstuffSRD]

People can be hot and sexy
But they can't be cute or beautiful
If you got my point :P LOL

[reptocarl]

It all means the same

[Anonymous]

It means exactly as you described in the title.

[August00]

Speaking the truth. And he like you.
