Just for fun: What is the difference between cute, sexy, and beautiful?

[Sexy Sadie]

Cute is "sitting on the lap cuddling your hair" , it is something that do not make you "scared".

beauytful: "Sitting in front of you an admire you". No way touching.

Sexy: " I want to sit on your lap and make out". Very hot.

I think I understand what you're saying - like you I am asian and petite, plus I have a round face and dimples which makes me look younger, and if I get compliments on how I look, it nearly always involves the word "cute". It used to bother me a little if I went out and got dressed up and made an effort to look more glamourous / sophisticated, people would still call me cute. But eventually I realised that it's not such a bad thing, I can't change how I look and am just glad that people want to compliment me full stop. If I am more 'suited' to being cute, then cute I shall be.

Embrace your cuteness!

I think you can be all three. I've been called all three by the same person. I think sometimes we can overanalyze the small differences between the words.

Most people would classify me as cute which I DETEST. I would MUCH rather be sexy and hot.

Girlll I hear yah, I hate being called cute. And because I am a petite Asian, that's usually the adjective people use with me. I'd much rather be either sexy, gorgeous, or beautiful...even pretty or hot, just not cute. :/ Ok this is clearly my opinion so don't hate, but I feel like being "cute" just means you're non-threataning. Like, you're the little-sister looking type, not really possessing a special or "whoa" factor. Same with pretty, when a girl is described as pretty, it's just a generic "she's sort of good looking but there's nothing special about her." That's just me though :/

and lol enigma, I know how you feel. I wish people would sometimes just look at your qualities and give you in depth descriptions...cause people who know me tend to sometimes think I am witty (some people, other times I can be a real air-head. Thanks mom, for the air-head genes!

haha I love my mom..) so that in turn makes me sexy to them...but 99.9% of the time I am really called "cute."

I also think the way you dress is a huge factor on what people percieve you as. I don't want to get into this cause you guys probably know what I mean by this...however, certain body types will make certain clothing look different on different people.

I wish I could, girl! But I resent being called cute a lot of the time. I used to hang around some guys, and just by observing, it seemed like they used "cute" to describe girls that weren't desirable to them, but not bad looking. Example:

"Hey man, do you know who such and such is?"
"Yeah, she's a cute girl."
"Yeah, but that blah blah, she's a FOX."
"Aw man she is SMOKIN HOT! Like DAYUM!"

Haha, so maybe I exaggerated a bit. But the point is they would just kind of see cute as "meh" but if a girl was beautiful or sexy, they'd be more excited about it....kinda get what i mean? A lot of my cuteness to people, I think, would come across as personality too. I am kind of a non-threatening person, I not only short and kind of small, but I am also very shy and quiet, and I get *bubbly* around people I am comfortable with. So people are just like ":3 awwwwww, mani such a babyyyy!!" UGH it makes me sick! It doesn't help that I have a higher-pitched voice, either. Sometimes I try to purposely lower my voice so it'll sound sexier lol i'm ridiculous.

There's really nothing 'cute' about posing with your vadge wide open, no matter what you cover it with.

good point shimmer. Haha, Misa is one of those "car show" models...I think what Tila started out as, right?

She just has cuter features, to me, which is why a lot of people see her as someone who is sexy yet approachable.

 

[Shimmer]

Well when you start talking features, you have to consider angular vs soft. Angular features can appear severe and unapproachable, regardless of the individual's demeanor.

 

[chocolategoddes]

i think model Doutzen Kroes is a better example of cute/sexy/beautiful.
She's got a gorgeous face (imo), definitely has sex appeal as a VS model, but her features like her big eyes and petite nose are very cute.

Im very petite, im asian yet i think have it worse than all of you , they dont call me cute, i get called adorable and bubbly. As a 22 year old woman thats pretty sad on my part.

I live in a predominately asian ethnic state, growing up i only saw american movies, so my view of sexy is big sultry cat eyes, a thin nose, full lips, big breasts, and a seductive personality. Those sort of features really arent dominant in asian ethnicities and many know that our strict culture looks down upon "sexy" and "hot" and many have fear of being disowned or looked down upon by their family and soceity...

 

[Sabrunka]

Hard to describe with words, so I'll post pictures!

Cute:

Sexy:

Beautiful:

It's VERY hard to explain with words, but I hope those pictures help with my opinion of cute sexy and beautiful!!!

I think cute is like "you look nice, but just wanna be friends"
sexy is like "I wanna bang you"
and beautiful is like "I want to make love to you and be with you"

girlll preach it. I totally feel you when you say these "sexy" qualities aren't really that dominant in asian ethnicities. Something interesting: although my parents raised me in a more free, western environment, I still grew up as a shy, demure, very self-concious girl when thrust into social situations. Yet at home I was a loud-mouth, I talked back all the time, and I was to them, totally "American." I mean, I don't consider myself "sexy" around my family and "cute" to the rest of the world, but I am just not afraid of speaking my mind and being myself when I'm around my family, so my more dominant personality comes out...it's kind of strange, but I just can't channel that into being around other people, and they have totally deemed me with "innocent shy cute asian girl" status.

I've gotten adorable too. It irks me, let me tell you.

I think I might have mentioned this, but people in my frat (at least my pledge trainer) used to call me "baby"...and not in a "sup baby" way, in a "AWW WITTWE BABY" way. I seriously felt like the non-threatening kid sister who pines over the unattainable hot dudes in high school because I felt like no guy would just take me seriously. I was too much of a "baby", and therefore always cute. Never pretty, never beautiful, god FORBID never sexy/hot/gorgeous/.....

...cute. I say it like it's a bad thing, and it's not, but it's so much more complicated than that to me...

I feel like that a lot of the time too

but unfortunately for me, guys just want to be friends with me and don't really see someone as desirable...they just see me as, again, the non-threatening kid sister that's fun to poke and prod at in terms of teasing. (I got teased SO much back in school...playful teasing it was, but always the big brother type teasing) they treated me like one of the guys. None were intimidated, I doubt it.

I think if I had to pick, I'd want to be beautiful with a touch of sexiness. I guess, goddess-y would be a better term

To me beautiful gives a classy, alluring vibe...and beautiful can be sexy, too, just in a more subtle way.

I don't really know any stars I would deem as "goddess-y"...maybe I hold too high standards for myself lol....

^You can move past that. You don't have to be cute all the time, it's all about your attitude. If you've got a lot of self-confidence, a bit of mystery, then you're set.

 

[Jessica0984]

I always get cute! Even my husband's mom deems me as cute. I have a tiny voice and more of a round face with big blue gray eyes. It doesn't matter if I am blonde or brunette, tan or fair..I always get cute. Except for my husband who calls me beautiful.
