    i used to get upset when my boyfriend would just call me cute or pretty, like I felt I wasn't beautiful or sexy then just pretty. so i think i would rather be called sexy or beautiful.

    Ever wonder why a guy loses his hair at an early age?
    All those terms are meant as sincere compliments to us and are considered interchangeable.

    A lady that is cute can also be called beautiful/gorgeous/sexy,none are meant as put downs or all could be false flattery.
    Just take the guy for who he is and don`t over think it. :drinker:

    Putting flame suit on again. :ohwell:

    I use the term cute a lot of times when talking about someone younger than me that I find attractive without being attracted to them. If I tell my husband that our server is cute he knows I just mean he is nice looking but I'm thinking about it the same way I would one of our kids.

    I love when my husband calls me sexy but anyone else would be creepy. Beautiful can come across a bit of a sleazy come on way but really tone of voice and body language can change that one up quickly. Having someone tell me I look nice is always good because it removes, in my mind, the connotation that it might be a pick up line. But, again, I make my final judgement based on body language and vocal tones. What is sleazy from one person is nice from another.

    It's usually girls that call me cute rather than guys...

    Take the thread for the fun it is and don't overthink it.

    I guess gorgeous or beautiful would be my preference. I mainly get called sexy; I don't like that as much, but I'll take it over being called "ugly".:happy:

    I would love to be considered beautiful, but I know at most I'm cute. If a guy ever called me cute, let alone beautiful, I would probably blush so much!!

    I like being told I'm beautiful or attractive. But recently I've been told that I'm "very goodlooking" which sounded so genuine, it made me smile for sure!

    At my age, I could care less what they call me. Fact is, I never really did. But I think the highest compliment to me personally is to be called smart. I've been called good looking and sexy but I prefer smart. I never much cared about my looks. I'd rather be judged for my character and intelligence.

    Took the words right out of my mouth. I'd also accept "funny", "awesome", "kick *kitten*", or "strong". Nothing to do with my age, though.

    I am usually called beautiful or cute...i prefer those two~so im quite lucky ^^

    I do NOT like being called sexy (unless its by my boyfriend), and I feel "pretty" is more a reflection of inner beauty. ^^

    I think gorgeous is nice as well, all be it a bit dramatic he he ^^

    I like being called cute, it makes me make this face
    > :3
    I generally don't lik beautiful or sexy, as a lot of creepers use those words :L

    That being said, with the right person in the right situation being told I'm beautiful can make me feel like a princess, and sexy makes me feel...well...sexy :L

    But beautiful has to be from a bf in the right "moment", and sexy...well...definately in certain intimate situations :P

    Bang on. It is all contextual. I wouldn't say my girlfriend looks cute when she is dressed up for a night out but equally if she is cuddled up on the sofa, she doesn't look sexy so much as cute.

    I think beautiful tends to sound a bit contrived. Maybe it's just me but I can't see myself saying it without sounding totally in-genuine.
