Is there a hierarchy to your compliments?

[Khaleesi91]

Do you think about what word to use or do you just have a go to compliment?

Most people would agree that beautiful /gorgeous ranks at the top, while attractive /cute are low level compliments. Are you conscious of this while complimenting or do you simply pick a word you like?

I think it depends on the tone and context.
"babe, you look beautiful" on Snapchat isn't the same as a genuine "wow, you're beautiful" on a date.
Generally speaking, what you've said above is true, but you could potentially make "attractive" more meaningful than "gorgeous".
But on their own, words like hot, fit and cute are of a lower caliber than beautiful, stunning and amazing.

I just speak on my mind. But that that's also depends on what relations I have with certain people. Close friends I can get away with tho top choices. While those I don't know. I probably wouldn't say anything. At most you look nice today! Got big date tonight?

But have to agree what's the text behind the meaning.

I just. pick one I like, but you might already know that.

[Glen68]

I pick my compliments based on what I mean
