Is there an age limit? People still call me cute and adorable! bigsmile Really, it has a better ring to it than "attractive" or "nice looking"...at least for me.

Well, when your get closer to 50, and someone is still calling you cute you take it as a compliment... assuming it means you still look younger than you are.

When it transitions from "cute" to "weathered" or "leathery"......then you have passed that point.

Cute
1. Delightfully pretty or dainty.

Pretty
1. Pleasing or attractive in a graceful or delicate way.


Cute actually means "so pretty it brings joy to my heart". I know someone women are offended by the term, but I really don't know why.

I wouldn't say that I am so much offended by it..it just makes me feel like a child..like when you go visit the relatives for the holidays and they wanna pinch your cheeks and tell you how cute and adorable you are..a guy has one time to pinch my cheeks..either of them and he's gonna get run down at level 5..lol.
The definition for pretty is a good one..why can't that be used more..lol.

I've found that as you approach the big 4-0, you go from being "cute" to your remarks being thought of as "cute." Cute kind of loses its punch after a while.

I used to be 'cute'. I dispised the word. Cute (for me) pertained to behaviors, babies, puppies and kittens, any young animal.
Now I have that "lived in" look. <g>.

I will obliterate the first person that calls me cute.


It's not very manly.


I prefer 'throbbing sex magnet'. But nobody ever calls me that.
