People are answering this like context doesn't play any role. Almost invariably, if the man has not invested anything into a relationship with you and he approaches you telling you that you're pretty, cute, beautiful, or any variation thereof, he is just trying to purchase you with nice words. However, if you have a long-standing relationship with him, the meanings begin to vary. Again, it all comes down to context. Is it in person? On the phone? Internet? Text message? What was the tone? What is the setting? What kind of history do you have together? It's foolish to say "Oh beautiful means this and cute means that," or to expect the answer to be that simple. Beautiful can mean anything from 'he just wants in your pants' to 'he actually finds you to be breathtaking - mind, body, and soul.' Cute can mean 'I don't want to hurt your feelings and tell you that you're ugly' or it could mean 'my god, you just do it for me and it's unexplainable.' Don't make the mistake of getting hung up on what words one person said to you one time. Look at how they treat you time and again and you will begin to be able to piece together what they actually mean when they say you are beautiful.

So here's how I personally use them, and this does NOT mean all guys do...
Beautiful: You're quite the looker and I'd love to have sex with you, just nice raw sex appeal.
Pretty: ... Okay so I never actually hear grown men using this word... moving on.
Cute: My personal top tier. I'd prefer a cute girl over a hot one any day. A cute girl is just absolutely adorable, I can't help but smile when I'm around her, she's always making me laugh, etc. Women may dislike being cute, but cute girls are so damn lovable and they're the ones guys like me actually want real relationships with. Not the "Beautiful" women covered in makeup trying to look like they're ready to bed the next guy who buys them a drink, but just a natural youthful spirit and beauty.
Cute girls all the way for me.

I'm trying to figure this out as well, trust me, lol, and I'm 17 ( my age is wrong haha). I think pretty and beautiful are better compliments than cute, although I like being called cute, which happens to me often. But to me you are good looking and pretty!

I think of it as you might do something/act cute, look pretty and be a beautiful person. So maybe you can be all three? 😊 I would maybe use cute to describe how someone looks if I liked them, but they weren't "traditionally pretty" if that makes sense.
In my opinion, pretty is just generally attractive. Beautiful is either very attractive or just a great person. Cute is similar to pretty, but more huggable and snuggle-able. The person in picture is pretty, and seems like they could have a beautiful personality.
to me, you are all three: pretty, beautiful and cute - which is how i feel about people i find attractive. i think you can be all 3 and it might depend on the mood or situation on which one i use.
It means you are pretty or beautiful or cute. Seriously, men aren't complicated and deep. We keep things simple. Its women who like to over-analyze and find other meanings in the things we say.
It means he finds good looking and attractive. And from your picture, you are. Great smile. That's the first thing I notice in a girl Yes, even before boobs.
Be honest princess... for me you are not attractive. Am sorry
You are attractive in my opinion.
I wouldn't describe u as pretty, beautiful or cute tho. Maybe cute as in attractive but not as in sweet.Cure to me means I like you but I don't know if it will work pretty means hey you look good but life's complicated for me right now beautiful means your a beauty and I wanna date you
Well, he's complimenting you. Well, the words don't have different meanings but, a guys intention could be different.
So, you should observe their behaviour with you and, try to figure their intentions.Everything depends on beautiful curves and beautiful face. Most girls have something missing. So guys who say that such girls are beautiful are fools and liars. Less than 10 of the girls deserve to be called beautiful.
Depends on the person... if he is really nice n gentle then he truly means this n compliment is genuine... Else if he is playboy sort of guy then he is just flirting tats all
pretty= attractive usually sexual but not always implying personal attraction cute= attractive not always sexual beautiful = attractive and respectable. that my book at least
Stop trying to find a different meaning if I tell someone is pretty is because she's pretty
Don't give that attention to the difference between them, we don't look to things like u girls
pretty = wants to date you
beautiful = wants to keep you as girlfriend
cute = he is honestpretty= he wants to fuck your face
beautiful= he wants to fuck your ass
cute= he wants to pinch your cheek and give you a pat on the headMmm you sure are attractive and got a nice body.. good one :)
To be frank and not to lie, please don't get mad at me you are looking hot to have a sex with you!!!
Either a simple compliment or he really means it.
I dont no but if i say that i mean it
