The burden of being cute

Post Reply New Topic

I read once something to the effect that when a guy calls a girl cute, it usually implies he wants her around, whereas a guy just wants to bang hot girls and move on. From my experiances on the guy side of this, the theory is true.

I, and most of my friends, prefer cute women to hot women.

I always get called cute, no matter what... It's the young face and being 5'3". I find it annoying since it happens so much. It hasn't really bared many problems other than causing me anger though. Women still like me.

A lot of women nowadays seem to like cute guys, or guys who look very feminin.. So I don't think it's a problem other than my own dislike of the word and the rate i get called cute..

I really, really dig 'cute' guys, and have no interest in guys who usually receive labels like 'hot' or 'hunk'. Other women think my tastes are odd, and apparently they are. But I have to say that in my experience, cute guys have the better personalities -- unless they've been rendered totally insecure. It's important to realize just how much of these women's views is also a cultural phenomenon, and not necessarily a natural one at all; I just happen to like to ignore most cultural norms and be honest in what I like. I think women who are honest with themselves will often find cute guys more than just cute.

Anyway, my boyfriend would definitely be considered cute. He and I are the same height, yet he's thinner and lighter than I am, with youthful features and softened muscle tone. He has long, loose curls and huge grin. He'll probably never fall into the category of 'hunk'.

Also, I demand pictures. Please. Wait, that's not a demand. PICTURES NOW.

I don't think I'd be described as cute. But I don't exude male sexuality that's for sure.

Now that I have really long hair... random strangers have addressed me as female. It used to happen in the drive thru... where it's difficult to see. But a week ago I was addressed as female in a brightly lit library.

I have rounded features, very low muscle tone, dimples, slight Gynecomastia, long hair, and I wear Hawaiian shirts with flowers on them.

I'll leave others to decide if I'm 'cute'... but I'm no 'hunk' that's for sure.

What is wrong with being cute?

I have only dated cute guys my whole life. They do it for me. "Cute" is just my style and so it is for many women.

Don't sweat being cute. It beats being told you are ugly man.

And when i called a guy cute, it meant i liked him. It never meant he should cut his losses and run. Thank God for that because I'd have never dated anyone in my life if they did! LOL

I have a friend who is 5'2" and weighs around 120 lbs. He is also being referred to as cute all the time. The great thing is that he used his size to his advatage. He trains race horses in the Emirates, and is earning obscene amounts of money.

Look on the bright side, "cute" beats "creepy".

Can't a guy be cute and sexy at the same time?? It doesn't always have to mean effeminate or whatever.

I've seen guys with all kinds of physical appearances - bar obesity and prominent disfigurement - get dates. If you're obese you may have to work on that, but otherwise I can't see physical appearance being as big an issue for men seeking women as it is for women seeking men. Certainly I'm not too worried about my own appearance with regards to my face and body, even though I'm not at all built.

I can't tell you what does work; I'd like to know that myself.

I think anyone who complains about being called cute is taking their physical features for granted. Why don't you switch places with me and see what its like to get called ugly instead?

i am called cute or more often "pretty" by people who have not yet met me.

after a short while of knowing me they are apologetic and they backpedal because i make them uncomfortable.

looking nice is only a hook that makes people get snared on me, but they quickly realize that it i am not what they want.

when people smile and appreciate things i say that are mediocre, and in my mind i am thinking "god this is over! i must get out of here", i know they are just liking the look of me.

i do not believe people because they are all impelled by attraction.

i am very cynical.

my body is mine and no one else's and i am not interested in having theirs.

I don't know about anyone else, but I LIKE cute guys. And when I say cute, I really do mean little-boy cute. But then again, I also go for more effeminate guys, and my taste in EVERYTHING is a little bit left-of-centre, so maybe I'm not the best one to ask...
