Added handsome because some guys rage at being called cute
Cute is positive but not all that great. Beautiful, attractive, elegant, good-looking... those are all preferred over "cute."
Sexy is sort of temporary, like an aspect of you. But if you're only sexy to another person, and nothing else, then they are probably just into you for your body, not personality, character, soul, heart, all that.

I am fine the just the way it is... because it is genuine when they say it
I never get called handsome because well, I am not the conventionally handsome celebrity type and that has NEVER been a problem to me, lol
I get called cute often, but it is never about my looks, when they say it they always mean something about my character or personality that they find particularly endearing, kind, sweet, considerate and all stuff like that
and then, there's the sexy part... which can go both ways, the more obvious one being the body I have after 25 years of sports, but also... they say it because of my personality, my presence, my attitude or my character, situational of course...
so, for me... it is just the way it is, and I do not see any reason for me to want to change any of that, because it is already as genuine as it can be, from them, the women and also from me
I try not to be prideful or anything. But…. I mean. I do sometimes think I’m ugly and sometimes I think I look good. Sometimes I get a lot of smiles and kinda shocked expressions. So I guess that’s a good sign?
Sometimes if I ask someone out of curiosity they looked shocked and say I look great. Lol.
But I don’t know. Truthfully depends on the day
I went with cute. It creeped me out a little bit if everybody I encountered thought of me as sexy.

Although there are so many better terms to use other than "cute" or "sexy" I choose to be sexy. I'm a grown woman and I feel that being considered "cute" is a bit juvenile. A kitten is cute. A panther is sexy. Now I'm not saying that I'm not juvenile on occasion. I love my animal onesies. However, even when I'm wearing it I'm sexy. Do I look like a dork? Probably but I own my dorkiness and that's sexy. A 20 something just starting out in the world, trying to find herself is cute. A grown woman who knows who she is, is confident with who she is and doesn't hide from who she used to be is sexy. I choose to be sexy.
People describe me in terms which make no sense in English (Laska, szprycha , sznala... etc.) what means in a rude way attractive because less attractive girls will be never called that way. Term cute in meaning of endearing isn't very common and I've never been called that way in my country.
Handsome please. But, @AmandaYVR nailed it as far as "Beautiful, attractive, elegant, good-looking". :)
I would prefer to be called cute, because sexy doesn't lead to long term relationships
I think I would rather everyone thinking I was sexy… but cute is maybe better after looking at all of the other replies.
I had always wanted to be the cute girl. I always felt they were more respectfully approached. And I never dressed sexy outside of clubbing.
I was complaining to a guy friend back in high school about how men would be so forward with me at best.
He said that I "oozed" sex without doing anything. It didn't help.
Nowwww, I am happy I'm not the cute girl because I know how to wield my aura.
I'd rather the truth and not make people think of me how I want them to. If someone sees me as ugly I don't want them to call me anything other than ugly. If someone genuinely was to see me as handsome , I would accept it, it would take time to but eventually I would accept it as their truth. I just don't like lies even if the truth hurts me.
Maybe my answer is because I'm a virgin, but I'd like to be called sexy. I've never been called that by a girl who wasn't awful or a whore. And the gitls who called me cute or handsome never had any intentions of dating me.
I don't really like "cute" unless it's coming from someone I'm dating. I prefer pretty, gorgeous, beautiful etc. I don't like sexy because it suggests purely sexual attraction, but I prefer it to cute.
I prefer him to find it sexy.
I'd take sexy every time, especially in a situation where the difference in the two types of compliments could result in notching up the intensity of an encounter.
Cute or handsome is nice.
'Sexy' would be 'Fabulous'!
I’d prefer cute. I don’t wanna be sexualized as “that girl.”
I’ll rather people think of me as “cute”. I don’t like the thought of people thinking of me in a sexual way. It’s very objectifying
I think it depends... If one is considered hot or sexy all their time, compliments about their cuteness would be more effective and heart-winning and vice versa; also if a woman for example finds everyone hot but a specific man "cute" it changes a lot in the perspectives
No real idea. In both cases I would feel a bit odd, but be sure if a girl said anything similar to me and clearly invited me into intimacy, I certainly would feel very happy !
What if we’re a 🦄 and have the whole package? Or what if we have nothing? ☹️
Would be nice to be called "sexy" once in life
Cute is all I ever getI've had women calling me all of the above. Personally I think they all need glasses. Lol
Can I just be gorgeous? Is that too much to ask? 😭
I would have to go with ruggedly handsome.
I've been around the block a few times, so I have a few battle scars here and there, but I think I would be a solid 5 or possibly a 6.
