Just wondering (from a guys perspective - ladies comments welcome too)....

 

When a guy give you these compliments, what do they imply? which is better?

 

when he tells you you are:

 

1) Hot? is this the MOST desireable? is it he ulimate physical compliment?

 

2) Sexy? does this imply that he only finds you sexually attractive?

 

3) Beautiful? is this equal to hot, or does it imply more respect?

 

4) Pretty? is this less than beautiful but more than cute?

 

5) Gorgeous is this also equal to hot?

 

6) Cute does this imply "not bad, not great"?

 

 

Ladies, your comments are welcome too ---- but I am really looking for a male perspective on these comments. Which is best? do they all mean the same thing, or not?

This is how I see it for myself, and in terms of how I'd describe women I would be attracted to/date/sleep with.

 

1) Hot = I want to have sex with you.

 

2) Sexy = I've had sex with you and I like it and your body. If no sex yet, then its said in such a way as 'hot' but without the same frantic desire as when I describe someone as 'hot'.

 

3) Beautiful = The above, plus emotional investment.

 

4) Pretty = Attractive, but I'm not necessarily attracted to you.

 

5) Gorgeous = Attractive in a general sense - ie: Angelina Jole is gorgeous!

 

6) Cute = You're doable.

i was wondering about this myself JUST yesterday! How about "Attractive" & "Good-Looking" also?

There is no 'guy's lexicon' that every guy uses. Words mean different things to different people. That's why humans have such trouble communicating.

Then why did they hand out official lexicons at the last world-wide guy meeting? Huh? Huh?

It's a case of sematics. But it works somethin' like this....

 

HOT = Sexy = I wouldn't mind doing you and I think the sex would be 2nd to none. eg. AJ, Monica Belucci, Eva Longoria.

 

Beautiful = Pretty = Gorgeous = Classy= I can look at you all day. The sex may not necessarily be as great as the above, but with looks like yours, who cares about the sex. Eg. Ingrid Bergman, Natalie Portman, Nicole Kidman

 

Cute = doesn't belong to any of the definitions above, but you still get our attention. Don't get me wrong, you're still up there on the scale. eg. Lucy Liu, Reese Witherspoon

Exactly, that's why I am asking what YOU PERSONALLY would define these things as...obviously what you think is hot wouldn't be the same thing for someone else. Just trying to get some opinions here...nothing is set in stone.

Of course it's semaNtics ... it's just for discussion purposes, and to see what others define it as.

For me there is levels:

 

1) FINE, HOT, SEXY, GORGEOUS= You make me melt - and think naughty thoughts, would love to do naughty things with you (ie/ ANDY CALDWELL Jessie Metcalfe, David Beckham, Ryan Phillippe)

 

2) Handsome, Attractive, = Your looks get my attention and could definitely go further (ie/Brad Pitt, Will Smith, Nick Lachey)

 

3) Cute, Good-Looking = You have something, but not everything - I could still go further (ie/Leonardo Dicarprio, Jude Law)

Here are some of my thoughts from what i have encounted...

 

Ok, in a club i get called HOT, Sexy etc etc due to the dancing.

 

My BF calls me HOT, Sexy, Georgous, everything under the sun...

 

A gay friend of mine calls me Cute and Beautiful...

 

When my hair is straight, my girls call me Sexy and Hot...

 

If walking down the st and i get approached or whatever, i get called Classy and Beautiful.

 

So, IMO it depends on the situation. I can be looking the same on the st, in a cafe, or in a club, and will get called diff things due to the environment and the mentality of the men in the surroundings...

 

I hope that all made sense to someone....:)

I know I am, but thanks for the affirmation :laugh:

My loving and passionate BF of one year tells me all the time that I am cute and often that I am beautiful. When he first saw me he told me "You are absolutely gorgeous!" :love:

 

He very rarely uses the word "sexy" and it's usually after we've sexually teased each other online. He never says "hot." I personally find these two words more appropriate when guys talk among each other about some girl - i.e. when she is not around.

 

If I were a guy, I would only use the word "cute." It's just such a cuuuuuuuuuuuuute word! :)
