dietrying Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 No. The "hotness" is all about the personality and how you try to show yourself to other persons. That is why I tend to think that "hot" people are shallow, as they are so worried about their looks and what people think of them, that they don't have any time to look to their insides. Ok. I keep thinking men say "hot" meaning superior in looks, but it seems to be how a girl presents herself. I'll go with that. Link to comment
dietrying Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Well, I definitely don't mean Cute as mediocre, and I certainly hope some of the girls I've dated didn't interpret my well-intended compliments that way. I used to always like being called cute, but things I've seen guys say on ENA in the past about cute opposed to hot and wanting a super hot girl got me kind of paranoid about it. Now I feel as if a guy must see me as hot to really like me. Hmmm..... They are subjective terms. When I think of the word 'hot', I think of the common definition. Curves everywhere, big lips...I dunno. That 'movie star' or 'model look'. Not my game. I like it earthy. My own personal 'hot' IS 'cute'. I can't just see a girl and think 'dayumn'. I mean...there's always initial attraction, but I have to get inside that head to know if I really like what I see. Does 'hot' mean they look better? I would say no. Any guy wants someone THEY are attracted to. There is no one 'best' way to look. Edit for bad joke: If you wanna get punny, and interpret 'hot' as 'illegal', then only creeps want hot girls. Yay for you having your own personal hot. All guys should. And it shouldn't include large breasts and behinds. Kidding. Link to comment

Suesser Tod Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I used to always like being called cute, but things I've seen guys say on ENA in the past about cute opposed to hot and wanting a super hot girl got me kind of paranoid about it. Now I feel as if a guy must see me as hot to really like me. Yay for you having your own personal hot. All guys should. And it shouldn't include large breasts and behinds. Kidding. Snap yourself out of that mindset, as it is no good for anything. First of all, cute and hot are subjective and after all, they are only words that everybody can give a meaning to, so you won't be able to find a real meaning for them. You've seen here that most of us have a different opinion about what is hot and what is cute. So I'd like to turn it into something different: Hot = Good for a one night stand Cute = Relationship material So what you are truly looking for is to be "Relationship material", however the guy choses to call it, whether it be hot/cute/f*ckable/attractive/adorable/etc. Don't try to read too much into words, as, they are only words, and they have a different meaning in different mouths.

dietrying Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I'm twisted, but I definitely take it as a compliment when guys sees me as hot and want a one night stand with me even though I would never participate in such a thing, lol. I guess because I don't have confidence in my looks, and I don't think most guys would view the "take home to mom" type as even close to as much of a turn on physically as the girls they gawk at in porn. I'm being so negative tonight, but I'm tired, it's late....lol Link to comment
GettingBetter Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Well I can see plenty of girls to be cute but yet hot at the same time! Just look at Jennifer Connelly!! Yeah, Jennifer Connelly ranks very high on my celebrity wish-list, lol! Although, this got me thinking. Most girls are cute in their own way, and so I can begin to see why dietrying thinks of Cute as mediocre. But the thing is, there are many characteristics some guys would consider cute which I wouldn't, and vice versa. So for a guy (or, maybe just a guy like me) to call a girl Cute means he likes her. You guys are right though; there's sooo much that goes into how you perceive someone else. The last girl I dated is a perfect example. First of all, let me just say she was very cute and totally awesome, which was my primary interest. However, it's interesting to hear what my different friends said. Those who had only seen her said she was probably around an 8/10 (rating Hotness), but yet those who had had any encounter with her said she was a 10. "Stunning" one of my friends called her. There was just something about her, maybe her posture or her sincerity, just something that was transmitted accross whichever room she was in. I can't name it, but it was there. And I know there are plenty of other unnamed factors out there. Some of my friends find attractive girls I simply don't, for whatever reasons. Link to comment

I'm being so negative tonight, but I'm tired, it's late....lol I think you're missing the big picture. If I said that you are "hot", then that would mean that I would have sex with you, but after we were done, I would show you the way out. Now, if I said you are "cute", then that would mean that I would have sex with you, BUT, and here comes the important part, sex would not be the only thing I would want from you. I would want sex plus all other things involved in a relationship. So if you want to put it into a scale, being "cute" (or relationship material) is way higer on the scale than just being "hot".

dietrying Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Ok. Well I'm concluding that everyone should have their own dictionaries to hand out so people can understand the personal terminology. lol Link to comment
Lana0120 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I don't know really. It varies. Link to comment
ninnin Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 This is how I view this: A cute girl is someone you want to hug and kiss and hold hands with. A hot girl is somebody you would want to have a one night stand with. Link to comment
dietrying Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I'm getting the impression that hot means good looking but bad personality, and cute means good looking with great personality. But when guys say a girl's hot, they don't necessarily mean she has a bad personality, just that she's good looking. Confusing stuff. Link to comment
Raiden Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 "Hot" and "Cute" are synonymous in my book. Link to comment
dietrying Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 They mean the same thing when I'm referring to guys as well. We do it the simple way. If a see another post that says, "So I met this girl, she wasn't hot, but she was.....umm, cute I guess you could say." I'm going to scream. Link to comment
Raiden Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Ahh... that's because some people use the dreaded "rating" system, remember? *shudders* Link to comment
dietrying Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Oh yes. My brain just doesn't function that way. I don't ever compare a guy's physical appearance to someone else's...it's got nothing to do with anything. Link to comment
Raiden Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Neither do I. If I think a girl is hot (cute? pretty?... bah, whatever) I think she's hot. I'm a hypocrite, though, I know. I expect girls to compare me to every other guy. ](*,) Link to comment
dietrying Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Yeah, I expect to be compared with other girls...often with thoughts like "surely he can see I'm not as good looking as them." That's why I don't believe compliments either, I just think I wouldn't still get them if other girls were around. Irrational...hopefully. Link to comment
Mavh25 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 You're so beautiful though Carrie! Link to comment

When girls have given me the slightest bit of attention, I always assume it's because they're bored and have nothing better to do. That is, NOT because they actually find me hot (sic) enough.

Tealc Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 OK. Hot = I want to disrobe you and get to know your every curve. Cute = I want to gaze into those gorgeous eyes, hug you, smile, and laugh with you. How's that. Link to comment

Lol we're so paranoid. I'm going to try to change beliefs like that, and I think you should too, because it sucks to be interested in someone and then have them try to convince you that you don't really like them, lol.

Tealc Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Ha. Not that cute excludes a desire for intimacy, but hot is lust without really caring about them as a person. Link to comment
Taomagicdragon Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 All the more reason to want to be both cute & hot....lol. Hehe, too bad my mind doesn't work on the whole sexual aspect (I'm asexual, and have no desire for it whatsoever). I am a sucker for just cuddling while watching a movie though, hehehhehe.

Raiden Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Where does "Pretty" fit in to all of this? And "Gorgeous"? "Sexy"? "Fit" (UK terminology)?... Link to comment
