what if we tell you that you are so adorable we just want to cook you into a pie and feed it to some kittens?

when used in the 3rd person it's ok. as in, a girl tells me she told her friends she had a date with a "cute" guy. (that's 3rd person, right? i think) anyways that's fine. but if i hear "you're so cute" it puts me right in the same league as her stuffed animals and pets. preferred terms: attractive, sexy, hawt, stud-pile, hero.
big time xposts! huh!

I like being called cute if it's sincere!

and what about the chicks who are all "you're cute, you're like my little brother, i want to bone you"??

I suspect there's a valley between like 12 and 40 where men don't want to be "cute" but that at some point when they've got the world (and possib themselves?) convinced of their own ruggedness and agedness and non-cuteness it becomes legal tender all over again.

If Kathleen Turner says "Let me at that big cute dong of yours" to you, I don't know if there is any response more appropriate than "Okay!"

Calling a guy cute is like calling a girl handsome. I should try that sometime.
I can't think of something to say after a girl calls me sweet though. ILXors help me out with this one.

I'm gonna start a companion thread called "Do women like being touched?" so we can wind up teasing out the same answers: depends who's doing it, how it's being done, and who the woman in question is, duh

"why does straights never want to peg"

dont act like 90% of ilx threads aren't variations on this formula

There are plenty of women who qualify as "handsome", and generally speaking I find them a lot more interesting-looking than the "pretty" ones, so that def has a place.

I know, it's just funny that the main way we wind up discussing the details is often in the context of a yes/no question with no answers. A hedged-out questions like "under what circumstances do you not like being called 'cute' and why and c." -- those never quite turn out, for some reason.
― nabisco, Friday, 29 February 2008 21:03 (sixteen years ago) link
People like having something to argue about. The simpler, the better.

This is hilarious how many ILX men are really special princesses inside.

the important thing is that we solve this issue for roxymuzak. i don't want anyone getting hurt out there.

"inside"
My wife called me "cute" last night in the middle of a $150 dinner that she was buying and I thought it was great.

I get the sense that on ILX "cuet" means "you're kinda hot," whereas "cute" would still mean "not if you were the last ilxor on earth"

Men like it when you tell them that their sausage appears to be especially large today and tee-hee I have a nice cheese to go with it and do you want to have a pic-nic?
― libcrypt, Friday, 29 February 2008 21:19 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah i'd go along with that

Every time I'm ready to swear off ILX for good, Tombot posts some hilarious- because-it's-so-true thing in his inimitable manner, and nabisco goes from painfully over-analyzing to classic OTM-ness, and the people that are perennial targets here pipe up with something right on. I guess I like people, even over the internets.

No, I just had a "good night" last night. I'm in that space of feeling benevolent towards all, unreservedly.
