Being Called Cute VS "Hot"

[Anonymous]

I absolutely hate being called cute because I associate cute little puppies and kids. I told my friend and she said that being called cute is a good thing. I feel like in society though everybody wants to be "hot". Some people don't like being called hot because they feel like their body is the only thing people judge. Is it even possible to be cute and "hot"? I don't think so. Cara Delevinge is adorable and completely badass, but I would never call her cute.

Cute: Young, Innocent, Not everyone notices her but the few who do are the luckiest guys ever.
Hot: Head-turner, Flaunting her beauty, No matter what she wears guys can't stop looking at her. Guys who get this girl will always be concerned that someone will try to steal her since they're all looking at her.
Being "Hot" is to be noticed. Some people want that, but if you're in a serious relationship... attracting attention is probably not the best idea. It tends to cause trust issues. And if there's one thing you cannot easily regain, it's trust.

Side Note: Somehow I associate the word "flirting" with "Hot" girls.

Here are a couple pics of what I picture for each word

Cute:

Hot:

At the end of the day, YOU decide what word you want to be used to describe you. If you do a good job, maybe people will describe you by using your NAME, not some generic categorizing term like "Cute" or "Hot".

Hope this helped.
Good luck with your "Look"... ;-)

The relationship between various descriptions of attractiveness is complicated. They don't all mean the same thing, but they're not directly comparable. One isn't necessarily better or worse than the other.

To me, words like "pretty" and "cute" denote aesthetics -- they describe what someone looks like. "Pretty" is used to describe a woman who is attractive in a classical, conventional sense. "Cute" denotes a youthful, innocent kind of look and often an upbeat personality (always smiling, bubbly personality, that kind of thing).

"Hot" is less about aesthetics and more about attitude. It's about how a woman dresses and presents herself. A "hot" woman carries herself with confidence and maybe a a bit of sexual aggression.

A woman can be "pretty" or "cute" without being "hot" -- I've met several in my life -- and still be very attractive. "Hot" doesn't necessarily make or break overall attractiveness, it's just a descriptor of a specific kind of attractiveness.

I've been called both "hot" and "cute" in the past, so I'm not quite sure which category I fall under (if any!).
The way I use those terms might be different to most people: I only use "cute" for adorable things, so when people (guys and girls) have said I'm cute, I thought it was a bad thing - especially if I'm trying to come across as an adult etc. Some people use it interchangeably with "hot".
I personally don't use "hot" to describe someone's attractiveness, but I would associate hot with being more on the sexy side of things and cute with being sweet and perhaps more innocent-looking, maybe?

[LindsayRB91rds]

I've been called "cute" more often than "hot" and I'm fine with it. When I hear that someone is "hot", that suggests they're sexually exciting, likely to put out or something to that effect. I'm much more complicated than that.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I'm petite with a bubbly personality. When I was a kid up to my early 20s, I was always called "cute" but I assumed because I'm short. Later on, "pretty" came into the picture but it oftentimes got paired with "cute" as in "petty cute" which was still flattering. The description "hot" didn't come into play 'til my mid/late 20s. "Hottie but Cuttie" and "Li'l Hottie" were what I heard most 'til my 30s. Now in my 40s, "Hot & Spicy" gets me cringing when a stranger or someone I'm not close to says that. It is flattering but I feel creeped out sometimes. I don't mind it at all if/when my husband & close friends tell me.

This is trivial. Not of importance. I don't understand why women over analyze speech like this, especially when women's communication isn't even verbal speech. Anyway, cute or hot it doesn't really matter. Both is attractive. I like cute. Most men like cute. Some use the word interchangeably, between words like hot, sexy, cute, etc. If she does her hair a certain way, and wears something cute, than sure she'll be cute that day, or vice versa. You are reading to much into things. Cute girls are hot.

[GingerGuy]

Cute is definitely a good thing and guys aren't thinking little puppies and kids when they say it. For myself, it often goes hand in hand with beautiful. The picture above for example, cute and hot. Don't see a difference there other than the smile vs scowl lol

Maybe it is my age, but to me cute is hot. A girl becomes hot by simply changing her hairstyle or wearing something different that appears more sexy.

To obtain this you have to have a certain level of cuteness to achieve hotness.

Case in point... a girl with a ponytail can be observed as cute, if she is wearing a nice floral dress etc., however put a slimline black dress on her and let her hair down she can become quite hot when you see her at the club!

Cute for me means I girl I find beautiful that is really kind and down to earth that I would want to date. Hot is kind of an attitude thing but also applies to girls who are really dolled up like when a girl gets ready for a romantic dinner and is wearing a beautiful dress and did her hair all nice. But hot also applies to when I'm getting intimate with a girl as again it is an attitude thing I'd say like when a girl is turned on. Not sure if that all makes sense.

[Lliam]

Cute is hot. It's about the highest compliment a girl can receive. Most guys prefer the wholesome girl next door look. They like girls who are soft, cute, cuddly and kissable. It certainly doesn't rule out being fully feminine.
Hot implies attitude, like "popular girls" at school or attempting to be a sultry Instagram model. Hot seems kind of superficial and self absorbed.

Things like makeup can actually make a woman look sexually aroused, because when a woman's aroused blood rushes to her face deepening the color in her cheeks and such. That's a large part of what makes them look hot. News on the other hand looks more Innocent but not necessarily childlike.

[Opinion Owner]

Cute not news. Lol I don't know how my phone made that mistake.

[TheThingALing]

It's a spectrum where something like gorgeous represents respectable women and something like bombshell represents sl*tty women

Gorgeous, beautiful, pretty, cute, hot, sexy, bombshell

So I can see. your point

[capturemyheartnow]

Being cute or hot is not one and the same thing. There is a hierarchy on the beauty scale. If 5 is Fair/Average , 6 is charismatic , 7 is cute/pretty , 8 is smoking hot , 9 is sex pot and 10 is perfect/divine.

[Anonymous]

I'd say that the main difference is where you feel it first when you see a girl. If she's cute it's more of a heart sensation. If she's hot it's about 2 feel lower than that.

[strateguy632]

both seem bad, i dont say, "you look hot" when i think that, kuz it sounds creepy to me. but cute is not only little it also means "sweet gentleness".

[TheRevanchist]

If a guy says you're hot, it just means he wants to have sex with you.
If a guy says you're cute, he not only wants to have sex with you, but he will probably consider a true relationship.

[Kamiink09]

Most of the time guys call me cute but probably because I'm 5'0 and petite. I'm not normally called hot but I have been called sexy. I don't mind cute though.

[Anonymous]

When someone talks bout "hot" they referring to your body attractiveness while "cute" referring to face attractiveness so girls who don't wear tight stuff we see face n say cute but girls who wear such stuff are called "hot" coz of body . I prefer cute cz nobody really wants hot girl they're like dumb blondes

[posted]

Rarely call girls hot, unless she's in my bed, every other time usually just cute.

[Rob197782092]

No its impossible to be both. but i'll let you in on a little guy secret that no guy will ever admit to. guys may chase after the hot girls but they marry the cute ones.

[TheBraveLion]

I don't like being called cute either :/ haha I don't even associate it with being attractive, more on the "lets hug and hang out" side lol. Cara is HOT though :P

[Sevenpointfive]

for me hot is a mindset and not how the girl looks (if we fuck)

in a picture the difference doesn't matter

[Anonymous]

I've always been called hot, never cute. Cute is weird. I don't call men cute either, its just weird. Is it a nice way of saying someone is average, doable but nothing special?

[DDpsy]

It appears to be used like that by females. When men use it usually signals that we are interested in a little more than banging you right there and we try not to blow our chance being too direct.
