Hmmm all righty then.

Cute is pretty and nice...maybe petite and "girlish" or otherwise immature looking
Hot is sexy - and definitely not immature

So yeah, hot is a very amped up cute...but I'd much rather be "cute" for the long haul than "hot" for a night.

Quoted for emphasis.

Any "cute" woman can become hot with just a choice of makeup or clothing...or even facial expression.

In fact, most of the "hot" women in the media are merely cute (some only barely cute)...but dressed by experts to be hot.

The term I use most often is "lovely."

"Lovely" encompasses a wide range of appeal and does not imply the absoluteness of "beautiful" (which a lot of women would not accept as sincere).

I never really notice when people have pics posted I don't look for it, but since yours was pointed out I'd say you're definitely a cutie and leave it at that. The FF stuff is cool too. The other description isn't necessary.

Cute just doesn't register to me. I'm not petite or innocent-looking that suggests youth. I haven't exhibited those traits since grade school. Lol I had womanly curves and reached 5'9" in middle school. And "hot"... I'm pretty meh about. Since I see "hot" as a process to achieve a certain look and not one's natural appearance. I have a hard time seeing morning face as "hot," so I laugh or giggle when my husband says I look hot.

Four lovely women in media:


Shohreh Aghdashloo
Nichelle Nichols
Sophia Loren
Helen Mirren


I present these older women as "lovely" to demonstrate a point: A lovely woman will always be lovely...and yet not necessarily conventionally "pretty" or "beautiful" or even "hot." I think that's why women in my experience respond positively to being called "lovely."

To me, hot means seductive and sexual. Hot is more of a description that suits our primal desires.

Cute means "I'd love to kiss that girl and snuggle the crap out of her".

I'm very small - 5'1" - and my voice is somewhat high-pitched...not squeaky, but people sometimes think I sound like a child say, on the phone. Actually, I just had this experience yesterday, twice, on the phone.

"I AM my mother." LOL. Okay, no, I don't actually say that.

So maybe size does have something to do with it after all, who knows.

I don't know about innocent-looking and I have giant hooters. Maybe people have different definitions of either of these designations, if and when they use them.
