Does Anyone Ever Just Need To Be Told They're Cute? — Page 2

I completely agree. You don't want to beg, but sometimes you just need to be told you aren't unattractive. I need to be told I'm pretty a lot too.

Some people hate being called cute because they get called it so much. I get a mixture of a lot of things (cute not so much, more like hot or beautiful) and I hate being called hot most of the time. I think its rather duragatory to me because it seems that all there is to me is what I look like. I hate that.

Sum, you shouldn't have to ask us, I was actually reading another thread in which you posted and thought to myself that you were cute before I got to this one. I'll have to agree with TheatreDiva and say you are one of the most genuine people here. Not many people would be able to ask a question like this one and not sound really needy and annoying.

I need to be told that at least once every fifteen minutes or I collapse into a sobbing heap of depressed protoplasm.

if i get one more nathan lane fan asking for my autograph....!

j/k

I don't think I need to be told I'm cute, but sometimes it doesn't hurt since I forget I'm the slightest bit attractive often, lol. I mean people online tell me I'm cute all the time but half the time I don't believe them, but that's just me. I don't get it in person unless I'm on a date.

I know bway, hehe. Thank God for PMs and such.

"As If I would EVER have a "You're hot!" thread anywhere in the "real" world..." if I, along with a few others, from this board lived nearer to you , you'd have one of those However that may be accomplished but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it :-p

Bway, you have a "you're hot" thread in the real world...just ask me!

Yay! Thanks TheatreDiva612! I can now begin being productive today.

<-------Even me?

I started a thread out of frustration here last year asking what guys mean when they call a girl a "cutie". I thought ~ff~'s post was so true, and it's appropriate to re-post it here.

I feel bad for straight guys.
Girls are complicated.
There are three really common words that are used to describe attractive people:

Beautiful. Cute. Hot.

Almost every female that I have discussed this with is offended by one of the three words above, even though they are all generally used as compliments.
If a girl who thinks of herself as "hot" is called "cute", she might start breathing fire.

And sometimes, the people who are most offended are the ones who are like picture-perfect examples of the word.

I have a gorgeous, friend who does modelling and who HATES being called BEAUTIFUL.
I have a tiny, adorable friend who HATES being called CUTE.
I have a sexual, skanky-clothes-wearing friend who HATES being called HOT.

There's really no rhyme or reason to it.

And God help the man that refers to a woman as "PRETTY".
Now personally, the word doesn't bother me at all.
But I have met several girls that somehow abhor that word.

So really, I guess just think of all three of the words as a compliment, because that's almost always the spirit in which they are intended.

but REAL BEAUTY really does come from within. Does it not?



M.

I rather be with someone interesting than someone attractive.

And sometimes finding someone interesting MAKES them attractive.

Thanks guys! You're all so sweet. I love how we end up defining the personalities of people according to their belief regarding a single word.

If one more person asks me if I'm Eric Clapton, I'll cry. I've had people follow me into public bathrooms to ask me if I'm Eric Clapton. Upstairs at the Duplex some guy insisted I WAS Clapton It's very difficult to urinate under those circumstances.
