I can live with 'cute'. But 'handsome'? Yikes

Your just a cutie though..

You don't know me

Oh I know, but you'll always be Cutie Larsi666 to me..

You want honesty? The ugly truth? The naked truth?
If not then stop reading NOW!

A hairy *** has nothing to do with being a bloke. It's the energy you exude.
You're getting friend-zoned once they get to know you cos your energy is not 'the bloke' yet.
In other words: you're not ready for dating and if you're not ready for dating you certainly aren't relationship material yet.
It takes time, not a hairy ***.
You'll get there. The reactions you get will begin to change when you heal. That's how you can tell whether or not you are getting more healed, or not, by what you attract and get back.

What do you want to be called, Steve?

You could have told me in private

Haha, I'm with you on cute... Even as a woman it's a little annoying. But I have called you sweet and have told other men they are sweet, it's good to know you don't like it... Makes me wonder how other men feel about it. Guess I'll find out with this thread

What's wrong with "handsome"?

don't worry chics, mr. happy loves being called cute.

Cute is what women call we 'average at best' looking blokes, because they want to appear to be nice, but we know they don't fancy us enough to call us anything other than cute.

It's the worst, that and sweet.

You know you are screwed when women you fancy call you cute and sweet.

Really?
It has nothing to do with looks. It means we like someone, but there's no romantic and/or sexual attraction. That's why I said it basically means you're friend-zoned, at best.
Has nothing whatsoever to do with 'average looking'.

I guess I never got that memo... I don't usually tell a man he's cute because cute seems more feminine. I have said "that's cute" or that he's sweet or a sweetie... with men that I am attracted to, not the one's I'm putting in the friend zone.

From what I'm reading so far, apparently that's how it's being taken... that I'm not really interested? No wonder things have a tendency to stop dead in there tracks after a few conversations. Guess I need to use different words.

So guys... what would be better to say than cute or sweet?

This is kind of a funny topic to me. When I was in school, a lot of girls called some boys cute or gorgeous. I never used that. I always thought, he is "good looking" or "really good looking". Is that weird?

Young girls usually use the word "cute" to describe boys they fancy in the good ole days.

But now people use cute to describe a puppy or a cat, but most puppies.

I do digital art on Blingee and I recently entered a "Good Night challenge".
I won No. 1 with this entry...



it's definitely not the best but it is the cutest.

so OP, you must be cute as a puppy.

Cute, is a personality trait.

So, it depends on how many people I piss off, or offend,
before I'll accept a "That was cute." from anyone.

I remember that Cat... we did that when I was school age too. I guess I have called a guy cute, when talking to the other girls. I used good looking and really good looking as well.


I don't think it's weird.

From my experience sweet can be okay depending on the situation but not too often.
Cute not so much. We women tend to do that more often automatically as to us it is very okay to use it. Men tend to not like it so much. I found out the hard way, haha. And in a way it makes sense as it isn't very manly.

In other cases it can be used to soften the blow that you aren't really into them, like men say "I love you but I ain't in love with you".

Or in other cases when you simply feel he's cute which usually isn't very indicative of being romantically / sexually attracted.
Just 'feel' it, tune into it. It's a far cry from "Oh my god, you're such a man!!" or "Oh wow, that is so hot!" or whatever.

But you're so cute when you're trying to piss people off!

On a more serious note... I guess I didn't really see it as a personality trait, but that does make sense.
