bananaboat11 Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 So being hot has to do with personality? I thought we were talking pure visual aesthetics here, not personality Hot girls usually bleach the **** out of their hair... fake tan... wear tons of makeup... usually goes well with the personality. One in the same if I may say

kalikula Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 According to the guy I used to date, hot girls are girls that you want to bone the sh*t out of... Possibly not dating material.. Cute/pretty girls are less overtly sexual, but who also have a good personality and he can see himself actually dating.
bananaboat11 Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 says the guy with chiseled abs as his avatar. :laugh: Valid rebuttal. I have no self-confidence anymore. I'm working on it, though. All I have in my life right now (family aside - very important to me however) is my education (PhD candidate) and my dedication and lifestyle to health & fitness. My social networking is on hold. My social life at the moment, null & void of activity. Regardless... I am not attracted to 'hot' girls. Looks and personality alike.
alyssatranswarrior Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 I agree with the notion that HOT refers to when you see a celebrity who is anywhere near attractive (by consensus) and has thousands of dollars of makeup/hair/clothing to create the HOT image for television/movies/pictures. You see the same thing IRL when a moderately attractive girl gets in clubwear and hits a club and gets a lot of attention. In the morning you realize you didn't get quite what you thought you were.This is what guys tell me, when I used to ask them about one night stands. I never did them. Someone like Claire Danes is creating pretty. Someone like Liv Tyler is creating hot (but look without all the effort) So see, all women, on media or otherwise - NEED great effort to be "hot" or "pretty". The only truly natural thing is BEAUTY. I wouldn't want women to stop trying to look their best. It's nice and I don't think its sexist at all since men must also do grooming and such to attract women (granted some settle for some slack guys). It's just facts though. Basically everyone is creating something false, or an "enhancement". I want someone to find me a picture with no makeup, plain loose clothes, hardly done hair at all - of a "hot" women and still try to find it hot lol Impossible
Phateless Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 A coworker brought this up today when a customer walked in and he commented that she was 'pretty', then went on to say that there's a difference between a girl being 'pretty' and being 'hot'. So, (guys will probably be able to answer this better) what makes a girl pretty, and what makes a girl hot? Is 'hotness' a derivative of sexual attraction by physical looks, as opposed to prettiness where one may not be sexually attracted right away but will still be sexually desired once personality is unearthed, etc? Do only pretty girls signify satisfying relationships as opposed to hot girls who can become (or already are) the standard for one night stands? Is a relationship apt to be more successful with a pretty girl, or a hot girl? Ramble ramble ramble. Hot is more sexy/seductive where pretty is more cute/sweet. Both are very pleasing, visually, but hot is more animalistic, I would say. Alexis Bledel is very pretty, SUPER CUTE. Megan Fox is hot. Natalie Portman is pretty. Elisha Curthbert is hot.

My social life at the moment, null & void of activity. Regardless... I am not attracted to 'hot' girls. Looks and personality alike. I guess to me, hot is in the eye of the beholder... You say you aren't attracted to hot girls... then they shouldn't be defined as "hot" to you - someone who is hot to you is what you should be defining as hot. Also - Like I said... I don't really think I fall under the pretty girl category, per se (though I'd rather)... But I do think I fall under the "hot" category based on 1) what MOST (not you Ü) people have said on here and 2) the way guys act towards me. But I don't bleach the **** out of my hair or over tan, I have three degrees and I'm working toward a PhD (and have a kick ass personality, if I do say so myself)... So I guess your definition of hot threw me because, while I know the crowd you are talking about, I don't think I fall under it - though most guys call me hot... not pretty So maybe they are just saying I'm beat - but they'd still have sex with me. lol

You kind of blend all three. Certain pics you look hot, certain pics you look pretty, certain pics you look cute, and a lot are a combination of the three. You are a very attractive person. Congratulations. Don't abuse it.

I'd ask you to coffee if I knew your personality and didn't judge you on looks alone (ie worked on the same campus as you).
bananaboat11 Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Jane, to me you look pretty. (from my perspective, this is an excellent thing) You actually remind me of this girl who is chasing me. She's 100% italian. Blonde. Very pretty. Hot accent. Fit. Smart. Intelligent. Sexy. Suave. Poignant. Wicked. The problem? I'm too dulled from my past two bombs (****ty ass relationships) b/c I was available - and apparently I'm such a great guy and both girls were freaked by this (or so I've been told by people who knew "us" (the past two girls who were both f'd up), objectively and subjectively) ...I just can't have anything serious right now as I continue to work on myself.
txsilkysmoothe Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 I think "hot" is more about a sexual attraction based on 2/3 body and 1/3 face. The face doesn't even have to be that great, just can't be ugly. Hot elicits a predominently sexual response.
LondonS Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 ah- I am always ever called Beautiful..so I guess I am not hot... LOL
MrNate Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Yep. Hot is: "You're cute, BUT not only that, I want to TAP that ass."
MrNate Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 ah- I am always ever called Beautiful..so I guess I am not hot... LOL This isn't a bad thing at all...lol.
sagetalk Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Yes, sometimes a pretty girl in my eyes can turn into a hot one. Generally, a pretty girl is one that is good looking. A hot one is one I want to have sex with, based on physical attraction. I'd say that about sums it up.

Phateless Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 ah- I am always ever called Beautiful..so I guess I am not hot... LOL Beautiful to me implies more elegance and grace. That word makes me think of Gwyneth Paltrow, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Liv Tyler, etc.
sagetalk Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 I'd call you cute when you're wearing normal clothes, hot in a bikini. I would laugh my butt off at any guy that tried to look at her in a bikini and say she wasn't hot. He'd have to be a bad liar or gay. Wow .
A O Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Pretty and beautiful is mostly about one's face. Hot is mostly about one's body. There's far more scope to make yourself look and feel hot than there is to make yourself look prettier or more beautiful than one perhaps already is. The two can overlap from whence we move into the 'knockout' class, but mostly, a lot of people can look hot without not necessarily looking pretty or beautiful and vice versa. .

Where did I say she wasn't hot in a bikini? That's exactly what I said. So I don't understand the point of your comment.

sagetalk Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Where did I say she wasn't hot in a bikini? That's exactly what I said. So I don't understand the point of your comment. LOL, I thought you were a guy, no wonder you didn't understand. Sorry about that, I should have look at your gender, I just assumed you were a guy because you said she was hot .
homersheineken Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 it's all semantics. pretty and hot are interchangeable pretty much. My SO calls me both interchangeably. Most certainly not interchangeable. A girl can have a super pretty face but be real large and not hot. Conversely a girl can have a smoking hot body and her face is well ... much to be desired...
homersheineken Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 This simply proves the inherent subjectiveness of the term 'hot'. Same as pretty.
homersheineken Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 What about sexy? I have been called sexy and almost never pretty or hot. I think that sexy is less hot version of "hot". I think sexy is more in how you carry yourself sexually. Like with certain attitudes, looks or innuendos.
