threebyfate Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Words don't really matter. It's tone of voice, actions and body-language that count. consider: yeah, (I guess) he's cute and He's cU-ute. (with accent on the U)Yes! Panting and drooling are usually other good indicators.
eric82 Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Look at the totality of the situation; actions and words. Then do what *you* want to do. Forget about figuring out what she means or thinks. Waste of time. Quoted for truth. It sounds to me like bananaboat11 is thinking way too much about her choice of words instead of the context of the situation and her body language.
Kamille Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Yes! Panting and drooling are usually other good indicators. For those who need more precisions on the multi-semanticism of "cute": If a lady says : : "You're cU-ute" while leaning in and running her fingers up your arm, make no mistake about it; You're in!
carhill Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 "You're cU-ute" while leaning in and running her fingers up your arm, make no mistake about it; You're in! Yes, this is what my wife's (stbx's) married girlfriend was doing whilst testing my fidelity. That was after the flattering remarks about certain aspects of my body. And you wonder why I'm cynical. That said, it was, as with other, similar approaches from others (compliments, touching, kissing) since, a good test of the boundaries I learned in MC. Man, that was money well spent, if nothing else for the reduction in frustration. Now I just accept it as BS and don't get frustrated about it.
zebracolors Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 I guess I can understand how calling a man cute might be embarrassing, he's a full grown adult. Still it is a compliment even if maybe a misplaced one. But when I'm just talking about the guy I like to friends or just referring to him, I will often use other adjectives like gorgeous, and even beautiful. In may case beautiful is equal to interesting when its someone I like alot. I hope that makes some sense, I didn't know how else to word it.
4givrnt4gtr Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 she's basically saying you're ugly. or you're friendship material. As with everything else, it depends on the woman... Personally, when I say cute, i mean a guy who isn't into proving how macho he is, who its ok with being awkward and is able to pull it off. The guy Im currently interested in i tend to describe him as cute...or more like cute as a button....I know, not very manly, and Im sure if he ever hears of how I describe him he would prove how "cute" he is by punching me in the face (totally kidding but you get the idea). Still, cute as he is, the mere thought of him being around gives me butterflies and makes me nervous as heck...and when he acts in a "cute" way, i totally melt.... So dont knock the "cute" comment....if someone is saying that to you it might mean she actually does like you a lot and not just as a friend
alphamale Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 she's basically saying you're ugly. or you're friendship material. not really, cute = handsome
Woggle Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 It means she look at him a puppy to pet but will always be attracted to the vicious rottweiler
tami-chan Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Well, this is interesting, most of the males seem to think being called "cute" is not a good thing, and most females say...it IS a good thing. So what are you guys going to do? Are you going to insist on believing your understanding of it or what? I know that when I say "he is cute", I mean "attractive".
Woggle Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Well, this is interesting, most of the males seem to think being called "cute" is not a good thing, and most females say...it IS a good thing. So what are you guys going to do? Are you going to insist on believing your understanding of it or what? I know that when I say "he is cute", I mean "attractive". What women say and what women do are two very very different things.
gypsy_nicky Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 I know it goes the same for women too. They don't like being called cute. being called cute usually has that asexual/platonic feel to it. But how its said (in context) also plays a part.
tami-chan Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 What women say and what women do are two very very different things. I am sure you believe that. But as evident by the numerous threads here, men ALSO say things they don't mean. EX: "You are really cute and fun, and would like to see you again"-and then do not make the next move. Perhaps what those men meant was "see you again in the NEXT LIFE?" So Woggle when your wife tells you, she loves you, do you think she actually does not love you? or she is the only one exempt from that statement above?
4givrnt4gtr Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 haha so today I told the guy I like how cute he was.....he immediately replied with 'i know, Im a dork" I guess this is a very strong belief among you men...... Since I had already read what you guys thought I made sure I meant HOT, SEXY, etc lest he thinks i just see him as a puppy..... you people are funny
JohnP82 Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 I think it's kind of a brush off. Cute = Not Ugly I don't consider it a sign of interest physically or otherwise.
SilkRose Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 not really, cute = handsome Cute def doesn't mean handsome. Yes, handsome like a gay model is handsome No a gay model or a straight model would both be 'Hot'...and that's a whole different issue.
