Do men like being called cute?

I've got all three. Cute too.

So you are missing two to keep equilibrium in place?

I have the one in the middle

two to keep equilibrium, one in the middle, three to get ready, now...?

yes xxp

I was recently referred to as "lovely" by a woman who then copped off with my friend... I suspect "cute" might fall into the same category.
ha ha, i can't remember what she called me!

i just remember her saying you're coming home with me.
worked for me.

if only it was that easy for us ay?

I don't think she called you anything, she just dragged you off. As I recall that was the last I heard of you for a few days...

Roguish: well-received.

"A rake among scholars, etc": "I don't even know what that means."

does emily d like being called cute?

I always say my bf is a dead set spunk. He says he prefers 'handsome' but they mean the same thing to me. I don't think he'd like to be called cute if it referred to his appearance... it wouldn't fit with his bloke-y self-image. He IS cute though.

emily d thinks you are a crepe for that stunt you pulled on youtube!

xpost

haha you finally found it!

I found it as soon as you did it, it was my video!

I like "rakish," even though I imagine in the intended meaning of the word, you could start a fight with it. It has a feeling about it of "handsome devil," but I think it was once supposed to mean something more like, "You are the kind of disgusting monkey who would violate the elderly and not even wash up afterwards."

M White OTM about "scoundrel."

haha i didn't know it notifies you!

i was just trying to make her feel better

is stubble cute

or rakish

If you can use your beard as a rake, it's probably not cute.

that's some kind of AAD lol isn't it

Looks pretty convenient for holding napkins.

he hides the microfilm in it

You would say that, wouldn't you?

are boners cute?

I like being called cute, mainly because I ain't.

Asking this because I've just seen the Stuart Leevid of him performing in scotland and him called the crowd 'scotch' and it being a big deal, is it like called an American a 'yank', or an English person a 'limey' (ie its dehumanising and vaguely offensive, but possible to use it in banter between friends) or is it really offensive and not cool, like referring to a German person as a 'Kraut' or worse (don't really want to type quasi racial nationalistic slurs on here, even in the context of meta question about such terms)

Thoughts!

Yes. But mostly in reference looks. Sometimes for what you do.

TO looks

I called a guy I know/like cute a while back and he went off at me! He said "dont ever call me that, it's so INSULTING". I'm like... uhhh.. okayyy. :|

i told a fwb "you are so precocious, it's adorable" - but that was to deter him from being a dick to a mutual friend.

he did not realize he was being a dick and got mad at me, and then screwed up an 80s pop culture reference.

woof absent context my post abt HRC upthread seems like a total dick post. maybe it wasnt great w/ context but it seems worse w/ time

love being called cute

this was a guy who bragged about his first instrument being hammered dulcimer at age 5.

yah i like being called cuet now

if my first instrument had been hammered dulcimer at age 5 i would brag my life away tbh, that is way cool. i mean, ok, all that really says is 'my parents are obnoxiously indulgent' but when i was a small child i was totally fascinated by the cimbalom and that would have been my absolute dream.

i told a male friend he was adorable last week, he seemed to take it well.

Totally down with being called cute. Handsome is for old men.

i am fine w/ anything that the person considers a compliment tbh

being called cute makes me go swoony and bashful and bat my eyelashes

Haha I cannot imagine you being like that at ALL.

i take the safe route and tell people i find them attractive

Handsome is something you say to someone who needs a compliment but you can't bring yourself to lie and say cute or hot or sexy or good-looking or attractive. Cute is great.

Cute can be used in many ways, from enthusiastically swoony, to dismissive or infantilizing.

yeah to me there's a difference between "cute" and "sexy"- "cute" is for, I dunno, kittens or puppies. Not potential sexual partners.

girls around the office use either "cute" or "hot", nearly interchangeably. as in "omg who's the new cute/hot guy?!???!". i'd say the only difference is "hot" guy is 1 degree of attractiveness about "cute" guy.

I accept all compliments

"cute" will get you laid iirc

I don't recall ever being called cute (and I looked uncannily like Donny Osmond most of my social life). It would have been nice.

:(
