I more so mean when a woman or a man wants to tell you how attractive you are in one word, what would it be?

[MrOracle]

Men like to be described with masculine terms (cute generally isn't a good choice, for this reason), but they also what the terms to be how you genuinely feel. If you call a guy sexy when you don't actually think he's sexy (like, say, Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie used to do on their reality show), or handsome when you don't think he's handsome, then he's going to feel insulted.

I think all of those terms are fine, and desirable for men to hear if you are sincere.

I knew somebody who called me handsome. I sort of liked it. But just don't call me late for dinner.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO

[Raggy1]

For anyone call me handsome i get angry I don't know why it seems weird but i feel it stupid complement ( hey handsome ) i feel ok so what? Handsome or ugly I don't like people categorize me by my outlook without knowing me deeply... It's the same like ( sorry ) after someone hit u by a big thing hurt your feeling or break you and say sorry it feels like useless i used to ask them do you really feel sorry or just a world to fill the empty space.. i believe we're human we need to communicate smarter together with empty complaints or complements , the more you honest the more u will look really good and popular even without reason this is what i really call it ( totally beautiful ) being simple , grounded , honest , talking less but effective , help without waiting anyone to thank you but only for the sake of god. I never wait people fake useless complements i always look for god satisfaction and self satisfaction and to put my head on pillow when my conscience totally comfortable not by feeling handsome.

Coming from the modern woman I prefer “Hey you arsehole” as that is the only form of expression that is honest anymore. Anything that deviates much from that I put in little stock. The scripted woman is a dangerous creature that is in search-and-destroy mode. A compliment from a woman with an objective will cost you your soul eventually. I have reached the point that she had better be only all action because when she opens her mouth, it is usually over. The best thing that a woman can do anymore is just action and no speech whatsoever. I don’t want to know anything that is going through her head. Just push me over and speak with actions.

I prefer handsome over anything else.

I'm not hot or shredded. My body fat is higher than it should be and stored mostly round my waist, so neither describe me.

I dislike the term sexy.

But I can live with handsome. Just not sure it's accurate lol

[FinalFantasyBro]

Definitely handsome is my most prefer but being describe as sexy is also a great complement.

[ohshee]

Well you forgot one the one you forgot is daddy LOL to be honest I get called any one of those probably at least once a week and I really I get embarrassed. So they don't have to call me anything. Just call me Steve I'm fine with that

[Anonymous]

Definitely handsome. Sexy and hot are more of a bedroom specific thing, it's cool but it's more sexual. Cute tells me you see me like a little kid or a brother or some shit, not cool. Gorgeous is good for some guys but I think it fits more for feminine men, handsome typically makes me feel good about myself but not in a childish way or sexual way. More of just a general good feeling which is really nice

[wtf636]

That was my first thought. But then I thought about all of the female relatives I have that have called me handsome, and it made my skin crawl.

[Anonymous]

If it's my partner, hot or sexy. But it has to be genuine whatever it is. We guys (generally speaking) get very few compliments ever, so while it's nice to get them, because I get so few of them, I tend not to take them seriously, so it must be genuine.

[harmseygracelu]

Every time I've called a boy pretty, for some reason it's always hurt their manly egos and they've said that they're handsome, so I'm gonna guess handsome 😂

[ChrisMaster69]

@harmseygracelu lmao, pretty boy would definitely trigger a lot lol. Personally it’s name or I suspect they are taking the piss lol. That or simply ‘you’re fun’ etc

[harmseygracelu]

@ChrisMaster69 Yeah haha

[weeee]

Thats so funny to imagine lol. How can you actually get hurt over something as innocent as that

[harmseygracelu]

@weeee I'm not sure haha, I was just trying to compliment them 😂

[wtf636]

I feel like handsome is a cop out. My grandma and relatives call me handsome. I don't want some girl I'm interested in using that to describe me. Sure it's still nice, but I'd much rather be called sexy or hot by a woman I am interested in.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Old fashioned: "Handsome"
Trending: "Hot"

[just_a_potato]

I found that out of all the compliments I use on guys ever, they respond better to words like handsome or gorgeous which surprises me because they are more traditional compliments, I expected sexy to be the winning describer lol.

[Grubhub]

I get called nice. I also would like to be called papi since since Hispanic woman is what I attract. Most are Mature age 25- 40’s. I wouldn’t have it any other way

[Grubhub]

Been called sexy more then the others

[Asker]

Okay thanks

[Kaamraj]

Generally, men like to be called by any masculine term, however when I make the effort to show up on a date, I like it if it's noticed and appreciated. But it's rare for women to compliment men.

[weeee]

I dont mind any of those but tbh handsome is like the most overused and generic one of those in my opinion

[Novacane]

Honestly, all of these are cringe to me if I heard any girl say that to me, I would pause and think in my head "wtf did you just say"

[Michael49]

At my age none of the other choices really apply. If i could add a choice more than anything i like to be called a gentleman

[Birdlegs]

I like to get called fine I think it’s a catch all plus I have feminine features and I prefer to not be called pretty

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

Handsome seems to be a safe and fairly neutral option. Sexy or hot seems a bit more directly flirtatious. Like, i could picture my mum saying I'm handsome, but if she called me hot I'd be having some serious concerns 😂😂

[Asker]

Haha yeah definitely

[Floppy2112]

Nah, we love it what you call us, "You're friend" or 'some guy that I was talking to'. That's what we like.

[AlexanderAnttila]

Handsome and sexy is favorites of mine. I like beautiful as well.

[Louistruman19]

Handsome and Cute dont mean much coming from a girl.

[Eeeyore18]

I prefer handsome, hot or cute. Possibly sexy?

In the bedroom though, I prefer daddy 😏😜

[HawkPerception]

All of the above, except cute for me. I won't say "Don't call me that" but I don't really like being called cute.

[crmoore]

Onix the Fortuitous, Slayer of the Bright Realm

Anyone?

[007kingifrit]

if that isn't a yugioh card name it should be

[crmoore]

Lmao, I agree 🤣

[Made4sex]

Really all of the above for whatever reasons. But my goal is to be called her sexy beast.

[John_Doesnt]

Batman,
because I am the Dark Knight this city needs

[007kingifrit]

i don't think men are verbal creatures so none of these would be really effective. we can only be told physically

[SmokinAces2000]

As long as they find me attractive they can use any one of those

[Nikki6t6]

Honestly, they don’t care as long as you kick down.

[Iron_Man]

I’ve been called beautiful handsome sexy you name it even in here

[Smegskull]

None really.
My biological driver is to be usefull not pretty so peoples opinions on my looks are largely meaningless.

[FamilyGuy2020]

No just Nothing, That way you don't bother us. LMFAO

[InferiorElegy]

My name, anything else is either a lie or meant in a mean way.

[Adam_West]

neither.
I don't like adjectives I don't deserve. and also I don't like a specific way of called.

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

depends really but, i do think the best one of course would be handsome

[clampfan101]

I’m getting C was supposed to be “Cute”?
I’ll take any compliment, really.

[Asker]

Yes cute

[itsom]

It depends on what mood one is at that time. Mood variations is also a factor here. Personally I don't like to be called cute or something feminine rest is fine.

[SilverRain92]

I don't like compliments about my looks. When I hear them I feel like I am not a man but a girl 😅

[Reyow]

I mean handsome is what your family calls you. Its like an empty compliment.

[Estaroze]

hahahahaha I liked this answer

[Reyow]

@Estaroze lol well thank you.

[Guanfei]

Handsome works well, but anything complimenting works too

[Slim57]

Handsome, sexy, hot, anything but cute

[ChrisMaster69]

My name

[ChrisMaster69]

Updating this, I far more prefer that my personality side of things gets a mention than my physical appearance. Even if it’s negative or positive.
If someone gives me praise on appearance, I automatically look for them taking the piss, often feel a bit defensive to a positive comment.
My personality or lack of, I have more control, over and defines me more as a person.

[genericname85]

I wanna be called sex XD handsome seems so boring.

[bannacookies]

I'm going to call more guys "cut" from now on. Lol

[WowwGirl]

Only cut ones
