Well it's pretty much a given that if a girl tells a guy he's hot or handsome, it's a compliment. But when it comes to being called cute, it seems to be a little less clear as to whether it's really a compliment or not.

Some people think it means she thinks the guy is ugly, but doesn't want to hurt his feelings. So she calls him "cute". Yet others seem to think this means she finds him attractive and may even be flirting with him.

Anyway, share your opinion and discuss.

I'd never call anyone cute unless I either found them attractive, or something that they do is cute.
Therefore I'd say that it's generally a compliment, but of course some might use it as an excuse not to call someone hot.

When a girl tells a guy he is hot or handsome, it's a compliment?

Really?

Where I live, saying to a stranger at the street "You are hot and handsome!" is being gross.

[sarcasm]Of course, because it's very common to do that to a random stranger that you haven't even talked to.[/sarcasm]
Of course it's creepy!

Over here it's used as a way to say he's attractive.

You get your friend's attention at the mall and say, "look at the cute guy over there"

Now from what I can tell, they don't like to be called cute to their face.

I imagine it depends on the reason they're calling you cute.

I wouldn't like being labelled as hot or handsome. I'd much rather be labelled as cute.

Also, when a guy is deemed ugly by the majority, it's a lot better if they are called cute or have a 'cute' moment. I just feel like the words hot and handsome are horrible. Yes, I would take being called cute as a compliment.

That's how I see it.

A man usually want to be looked upon as a man and not something 'cute'. Sure it is a compliment, but I don't like being called 'cute' because of this reason.
It could also be that 'cute' in Swedish compared to English is further away from the word 'attractive'.

Probably means, "You have too much of a baby-face, which means you remind me too much of my brother..."

Why does everyone hate knowing that a girl doesn't want their D?

I'd like to know that. I'd hate it if someone started calling me hot and wanted to have sex with me.

If they want your d, it means they find you attractive in the good way.

Even if I don't want a girl, I want her to want my D.

Even so, I wouldn't let them have it no matter how much they wanted it. Actually, some girls might just want sex and not care about the face of the D.

It depends on tone.

If she says it in a high-pitched voice, she either thinks your personality reflects an adorable puppy, or you have self-esteem issues which she needs to cater to.

If she says it without looking into your eyes, or in a casual/dismissive tone, she finds you unattractive.

If she says it seemingly earnestly while touching you and smiling (particularly without teeth), then you're attractive, but words like "hot" or "handsome" don't suit her.


At least, that's what I've noticed with most people, and myself.

If you don't mind a 15 year old in the process of puberty. Other than it, it's up to the girl involved.

Personally I think it depends on the person mainly, both the speaker and the receiver.

For me, I don't or I *rarely* find guys "hawt" but cute and handsome. Might be just me being weird but it's probably because I've never saw myself with a "hawt" person. Probably because of all the expectations. Plus most "hawt" guys I've known and met were rather narcissistic and egotistical lol.

In my book, if you're cute its a good thing just as much as being "hawt" or handsome or sexy or whatever.

Guess I'm just biased. ._.

If a girl calls you cute

It means you are cute.

Something you do (or the way you look) inspired fuzzy feelings in her chest. Like moe, if you will.

I call my partner cute all the time, I didn't think it was so difficult understand?
