Why would I?

Tad ridiculous.

But,I think this is going a bit awry from the previous thread...especially the third option in the poll.
Your point can be expressed in a different way.

I'm used to them so no.

Are they supposed to be offensive though?

You aren't less man because you look "cute" or "pretty". That's bullshit.

I'd feel insulted if it was you, because you are probably a guy.

Those shoulders are so muscular! Wow, those shorts really bring out how thick your legs are! Omg girl, that jaw line really makes your face handsome. You've been looking really masculine lately, did you do something with your hair?

Been called cute by a girl a few times, not sure if I should take it as a compliment or not. It's not anything to get offended over, though.

Definitely a compliment if it's coming from a girl! I mean, it may not suggest romantic attractiveness, but I think anyone calling you cute means they like you and are comfortable with you as a person, and that's really important. So yes, def a compliment, I'd think.

I find guys who worry about things like that a little bit annoying and on the other side of things I dont mind if people give me compliments that express a bit of masculinity. Some things I would take as an insult, but for the most part I like to think I have some masculine traits so it's occasionally nice to hear. I think being a bit in touch with your masculine/feminine traits is cool for both guys and girls.

Surprisingly delightful of you to be so direct once in a while. Don't be so sensitive and you won't feel like you are being oppressed. Females in the west talking about oppression while women in the middle east get stoned to death. Its kind of hard to take western feminism seriously.

Like I said, I've always seen the word cute as a patronising word. I'd never call my girlfriend cute either.

Now, when you call me beautiful. That makes me feel like a god, a divine god, a god of destruction

I don't find it offensive.

Maybe because I used to be called "cute" when I was small until now. This year, at least a few girls call that to me.

BUT when a guy calls me cute, I find it a little bit gross...

during my early teens i was often called cute and hated it. the german word for it "süß" has an even more feminine ring to it. i wanted to be manly, so i decided to grow myself a 10day-beared in the future

Probably not a good way to go about it tbh. "Well this is awkward, moving on..." will most likely be the result with a mix of "that chick was kinda weird, but whatever"

No one in their mind would find this offensive, just awkward

It's not what I'd want to be called by any means, I think I'd also feel pretty weird about it if it was a stranger or someone I barely knew, it also depends what exactly I'm being called "cute" for. Did I do something cute? Did I say something cute? Either way, I don't think I'd be offended by it, especially if they didn't mean for me to be offended by it.

What about someone you were romantically/sexually attracted to?

I've been in that situation before and they clearly didn't mean it badly, so I didn't mind it myself. Then again, they'd also called me other things besides cute so it kind of made it clearer how exactly they meant it? If it was the first thing someone I was in a relationship or attracted to used to describe me I'd be a little surprised, but still not offended.

oh, I was thinking more personality wise, but isnt it normal to call a guy cute? it's not exclusive to girls, I would associate it more with something like youth when it comes to physical attractiveness if anything, but I could understand not liking being called beautiful or maybe even pretty because I wouldnt like being called handsome normally. it's nothing to really be offended over though.

Because beautiful is a term to call someone who has a great personality + appealing looks. It's like a "bam ur perfect" compliment, rather than just "u look nice"

No, in fact I love it. I want to be cute and appear as others perceive as "feminine".

But to be honest I don't really like the term. Same goes for masculinity. They're social constructs. People just are.

Pretty - I only had one girl who called me pretty. I took it as a compliment. I kinda like being called pretty.

Cute - This one is really frustrating. It has so many meanings when girl says it. It could mean sexually/romatically attractive, or cute like a puppy, or it could be condescending in some situations if they say it a certain way. If first I take it as a compliment, if second then how I take it depends how I feel about the person, if the later its negative.

Beautiful - Not sure. Id have trouble believing her.
