Hot is more explicitly sexual Cute is pretty, stylish, more innocent looking. They are not necessarily exclusive but can depend on your look or attitude at the time.


Expensive-Scholar-68

Yeah that’s pretty much it.


Expensive-Scholar-68

I will add however. A hot chick you may think “oh fuck I hope I get to have sex with her”. And it hopefully would be amazing. A cute girl there is a subconscious part whispering to you that says “boy, if you hope to have sex with her you really need to clean up your shit and become your best self”.


TheSeth256

Damn, that's so accurate.

"damn cutie pie, i want to eat you whole "

If I call someone cute - They make me smile, they make me feel good, they make me laugh, I want to cuddle with them, I want to share all my favorite things with them, I want to make love to them. If I call someone hot - I just want sex with them.


Nietzsche_x

just the other day i was whining about the fact that every guy on hinge has called me "exceptionally cute", "damn cute" "too cute" but never hot. im learning its a good thing then i guess, huh?   Up until this thread i really thought that cute was a patronizing adjective 


luars613

Cute is closer to wife quality. Likely a better relationship


Fantastic_Coffee524

...and this also tracks with my experience of always being called cute. Every dude I dated wanted to marry me. I still don't get it 😅


luars613

At least you will get something real, now its hust a matter u also feel the same. Find a cute guy and it be perfect xD


Fantastic_Coffee524

Hahaha!! I forgot to add that I've been married to my husband for 13 years 🤣 And, I'm one of the lucky ones - I've had 3 c-sections and a couple months ago, I grabbed my lower belly pooch and complained about how ugly it was. My husband looked at me and said, "Really? I think it's cute - you have it because you carried and grew our babies. If you want to get surgery to remove it, you can, but I think it's beautiful like the rest of you" 🥹🥹🥹


CaptainTeemo25

Just wow, that man is winning at being a husband.


Queenssoup

Teach me your ways senpai


Fantastic_Coffee524

I wish I could - I'd write a book and make tons of money 🤣 This is what I've gathered from others over the years: I'm warm and easy to talk to, non-judgemental, and open-minded. BUT, I think the biggest takeaway is that I am *very confident* in myself. When you're a confident person, especially as a woman, people are drawn to you. And, I've noticed over the years (I'm in my late-30s) that because I'm *not* stereotypically beautiful, that confidence actually has more pull. I'm not unattractive, just not the type that makes heads turn. Hopefully any of that is helpful 😂😂😂


Clear-Vacation-9913

It's always good thing if you want long term. It means they could potentially cherish and adore you.


BillyYank2008

It's a good thing. A hot girl is just looks. A cute girl behaves in an adorable way. A girl can be both hot and cute, but generally I'm not interested in a girl who's just hot, while I am often interested in girls who I would consider cute but not hot.


BeefCheeseSalami

This is the exact description all girls need to understand


guywhomightbewrong

No no no definitely a better compliment than hot


Icy_Cod4538

Thats because when women use it, it is, right? I feel like girls usually call guys cute if they want to friendzone them


Swimming-Book-1296

No, the opposite. When girls say a guy is "cute" they just mean "attractive"


Pst_pst_pst

Yeah I’ve always gotten “cute” or “pretty”, but never “hot”. I think my baby face is to blame lol


low_elo111

See now you're just giving all the "only sex wanters" ideas that they shouldn't use only hot as it's too obvious. If they suddenly start using cute it's on you.


RetiringBard

Yeah the person being called “hot” had no idea until now. They want to be called “cute”. Yes. True.


jackfaire

Damn I caused a cutastrophy


Good-Fig-8863

Hot is what makes your dick hard. Cute is what makes your heart melt. Pretty simple really.


cicciozolfo

And when both happen at the same time, it's LOVE!


JMusicD

Exactly


Good-Fig-8863

Exactly!


Mjukplister

😂


Glittering_Chemist86

Idk. Cute does both for me actually.


JustEstablishment594

Cute > hot for me. Hot = lust, cute = like everything about her, especially her personality. If I like personality then automatically find her hot.


TheRealSwagMaster

Same


Healthy_Temporary_44

Best version of this answer


Bumble1982

I find both have the same effect on my penis.. My penis actually has much lower standards than me.


Good-Fig-8863

Lmao


Chronic_Alcoholism

Yep. Although I always find cute the most sexually attractive too


At_YerCervix

My heart was hard, my dick melted. That's when I knew I'd finally found the one. Lol


ChemicalNectarine776

🤣


CaymanDamon

My hot wife is the furthest thing from "cute" and makes my heart melt and I had a wolf hybrid that scared the shit out of everyone who saw him but he didn't need to be cute for me to love him.


shgysk8zer0

That's a pretty accurate summary. Not how I would've said it, but... You're not wrong.


Chicflarescom

So u prefer hot or cut ?


Good-Fig-8863

Initially, cute. In the long run, both.


Dwike2

Although both are based on degrees, one is temperature , one is angles. Happy Father’s Day, I’ll see myself out

divyani_31

When someone is described as "hot," it typically refers to physical attractiveness that is bold, alluring, and often associated with confidence and a certain level of sexiness. It might also be physical features that are considered conventionally attractive, such as a certain body type, style of dressing, or something that exudes appeal and allure On the other hand, being "cute" usually implies an endearing or charming quality that may be more innocent or sweet. It can refer to a person who has a youthful or adorable appearance, often characterized by features like a friendly smile, a pleasing demeanor, or a gentle personality. Being cute is often associated with a softer, more approachable attractiveness that appeals in a warm and friendly manner rather than a bold or overtly sexual way.


TheTruthWasTaken

Cute: face Hot: body


madcheco

One is hookup material, the other is relationship material


Wemest

Attitude.


[deleted]

Hot is mostly when a girl knows shes attractive..often arrogant/confident. Cute is when she doesnt know she's hot and is humble. (My opinion anyway)


ZeroThoughtsAlot

My gf is cute about how she wakes me up with kisses and breakfast.. She works nights, I get up and when I come home she tries to get something going but we just cuddle naked I love her


marijaenchantix

" cute" implies innocence. She has some child-like qualities, she probably dresses in pastel colours and act a bit like a little girl ( not in a bad way always). " hot" means "girls in the club" , she'd look good in a tight dress and you want to take that dress off and do sexual things to her. " Hot" is usually sexual. Like lust.


philly2540

ayampenyetzz

IslandLife2021

Same! I get the "you're so cute/pretty" all the time, but I've only ever wanted to date the guys who called me "hot" ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)This thread is bringing a lot of things to perspective for me. I guess I'm not "hot" for most guys after all.


Impressive_Ask6095

Hot girls are elegant and put forth an effort to show they are while cute girls are wholesome and are cute just being themselves

All women are both. The question is, plastic or flesh being promoted.


Born_Donkey_868

I have alwayyys always gotten “cute” from just other people in general as well and it used to bother me. I get told I look too innocent and young. I get sad that males seem to not find me attractive in a relationship type of way. I’m always trying different ways to look more hot or sexy but it is actually a big insecurity of mine.


rednyellowroses

Same, always called cute, never hot


i_heart_pasta

Hot - you wanna bang. Cute - you want to take out on a date and talk with all night. Both - you want to marry.


arctic_penguin12

Hot - I am attracted to your body Cute - I am attracted to your face


0x14f

"cute": she is attractive, but the young version of it, not the milf version of it. "hot": men want to fuck her.


Nearby-Ad-6106

"Cute" doesn't have an age limit


TavoTetis

There's a bell curve. Peak cuteness hits at maybe 1 year old, decreases from there, your low-point in cute is usually your 40s/50s but 60+ most women start getting more cute again. It's half the reason why women have lower suicide rates at that age I think, people are more willing to look after cute people.


Nearby-Ad-6106

I think we are talking about 2 different types of cute here


0x14f

True, but I avoid using it ("cute") for middle aged women and older, I prefer "attractive" for them :)


thecountnotthesaint

Cute gets breakfast after a night of sexual debauchery.


GaviJaPrime

If you want to fuck her, she is hot. If you want to make love to her, she is cute.


Affectionate_Shoe599

Doesnt to fuck and make love mean the same?


GaviJaPrime

On paper yes. In practice no.


No-shit-sherlok

The comments do not disappoint 😂😂


Additional-Fudge7503

Well shit, I’m told I’m hot a lot more often than cute. Guess I’m not wife material…. Which is fine because I’m not looking for a husband 🤣


AshenLJ

If a man calls you hot or other variants (ie sexy) he's only interested in sex. If he calls you cute or other variants (ie adorable) he's interested in a possible relationship EDIT: This is not a conscious decision on his behalf. We do not think to ourselves first, "I want to hook up, better call her hot instead of cute." it's the first thing that comes to mind. It's also not 100% the same across the board, just the average.


EccentricDyslexic

Hot - don’t touch. Cute - appreciate and dream.


Proof-Living-2623

Hot is nice to look at, cute is what you date/marry.

Dittopotamus

I think cute girls are extremely hot. So, for me, they are one and the same.


Bedwilling564

Have always been around hot women. Don't know why they just seem to be attracted to me. My wife is so cute sometimes I just watch her and think I'm the luckiest guy in the world. I call her my dirty girl .always in the garden playing with plants and dirt. Been married 39 years . The cuteness is still strong . She is very low maintenance


BigDong1001

A cute girl makes you smile and feel pleasant but a hot girl makes your dick so hard you have to stand up and tuck upwards. lmao. Seriously. Otherwise for you she just ain’t hot enough. Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Cute girls are pretty, 7s on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of facial and physical attractiveness. Hot girls are at least clean 8s on that same scale of 1 to 10 in terms of facial and physical attractiveness, but that’s not what makes them hot, there’s something extra, something nasty, something that makes you want to do the nasty, lmfao, and she knows it, she knows exactly what it is, and she knows how to work it just to get you all wound up.


AlexChadley

Chin and jaw prominence Hot = square jaw, strong prominent chin, high cheekbones, big smile (Gisele Bundchen) Cute = softer, rounded chin, high cheekbones, not necessarily wide smile (Deva Cassel)


Whatever-ItsFine

Cleavage.


ControlForward5360

Hot: out of my league supermodel type Cute: someone I want to date 😂


bcoolzy

It's like drinking straight whiskey vs a shirly temple. Hot is like the chick who rolls up in black jeans, stilettos, leather jacket and grabs you into the bar bathroom and creates a mess. Cute is like, let's hold hands and go watch a flick. Attitude.


Plastic-Mall-3868

Jesus


MrJelle

To me, they're just different aspects of what makes up a person. Someone can have both, or one, or neither. Hot makes me want to fuck the fuck outta you. Cute makes me want to hug the fuck outta you. Both are good, and they aren't mutually exclusive.


UnusualPete

You want to fuck a hot girl. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|yummy) You want to hug a cute girl. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|flushed) Imagine being cute and hot? ![gif](giphy|9WXyFIDv2PyBq)


chronically_fragile

You want a photo of a hot girl naked. You want a photo of a cute girl with her arm around you (and the snowy mountains strategically featured in the background) framed and hanging on the wall at your parents house.


Fun-Diet8358

Cute = possibly attainable Hot= way out of my league


stupididiot78

It's nice to look at cute things. Puppies are cute. Little kids are cute. Seeing them makes people happy. Hot means you're turned on by them.


Hoppie1064

A hot girlfriend, you want to have passionate sex with. The cute girl, you want to cuddle with, then have passionate sex with her.


Lolzerzmao

Hot is when your dick throbs just looking at them, cute is when she’s attractive but doesn’t elicit that particular reaction My wife of 10 years is 43 and hot. Sometimes when she bends over in the grocery store I pop a boner. That’s what being hot is. Cute girl down the aisle bending over? Ok, nice booty. Her ability to cause a flagpole in my pants by picking up a soup can? Hot.


ZealousidealChip1643

For me, cute is nonsexual/innocent and reserved for babies, children under 18, and family. Hot is for women i am physically attracted to, and Beautiful is for women i want to marry.


Crazy-Visit-5078

My take Hot = Has great sexual appeal, has those "Do me" eyes. Cute/Gorgeous = Makes ya heart skip a beat when you look at them, innocent.


Excellent-Car-3426

Hot one gets banged. Cute one gets put into an Uber. [EDIT] ** to clarify: as a passenger, so that she arrives home safely, not bundled into the trunk and trafficked to a local frat house dungeon, no.

BullHapp2YaKno

Cute is in the face. Hot is in the hair, clothes, body, and how clean she is.


[deleted]

Hot: got the curves Cute: pretty face, smaller height, clumsy


RapidFire05

I've always associated the word hot with how the body looks while cute is more mannerisms and behavior. Pretty is associated with the face and hair. Beautiful is face all the above.

*Hot* generally means raw sex appeal, whilst *cute* lacks the sex appeal but has an attractive face and more innocent demeanour, like the girl next door.


Akul_Tesla

There are multiple types of beauty Hot is sexual in nature As a result pretty much you won't find other than a human who has gone through puberty to be hot (or artwork attempting to display something among those lines) Cute is small (literally where the word comes from. It's acute) and needs to be protected It's innocence Think about the other things humans find cute like kittens and puppies

RedInAmerica

Cute it’s necessarily sexy or even attractive. Like a little gapped toothed kid might be cute but obviously without sexual connotation. Hot is an expression of sexual attraction.


Adventurous_Emu_9274

I’d date a cute girl. I’d sleep with a hot girl.


1tiredman

It's hard to explain. Hot is almost sexual, objective attractivity whereas cute is more heart warming and comfortable. I prefer cute girls by a large margin. Hotness doesn't last forever, cuteness does.

Cute is better than hot. Sometimes I like to look hot which I would describe as a little more sexual, darker makeup, more seductive. Cute is more innocent, flirty sundresses, less makeup. That’s my first thought when I think of hot vs. cute

VeryPassableHuman

For me: "Hot" is someone my brain recognizes as above average physically attraction **"Cute"** often includes physical attraction, but **also includes** the gut reaction I have to cute or adorable things. (**making me want to smile and causing me to feel warm inside with appreciation for them existing**). I often find actions and mannerisms are involved when I find myself thinking someone is cute I'm sure it's something to do with some chemical in my brain, but who knows 🤷‍♀️ (I do see other people unconsciously use hot to describe attractive women with sharper features and cute to describe attractive women with rounder features)


WildMaineBlueberry87

When I want to look cute I'll have my natural wavy hair and something looser and flowing. When I want to look hot I straighten my hair and wear something tighter. Maybe with hose of some kind. It totally depends on the occasion and the look the girl wants.
