I always associated cute with being petite or little... which I'm not. I'd settle for pretty or even on a day like today, decent

I see myself as cute if I had to pick. More than anything I'll say I look decent. The public, the ones who comment on my looks, say I am beautiful.

I always get cute. Always. I figure there are way worse things to be.

Hmmmm... well i get cute, gorgeous, sexy...etc. I think the old saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is perfect here. Also i think the way you would percieve your self will make a difference... confidence in itself is sexy, i think it depends the persons preference for what they think it is. Beauty to me is not in a word its in ones self.

I am cute. I'm not sexy or gorgeous. Just cute. I'm perfectly happy being cute, too.

I always get cute too...which I don't mind. I get the others too (pretty, beautiful, sexy), but not as often. I think part of it is that I don't look my age (25).

I always get 'pretty.' What does that even mean anyways? At least with 'cute' you have an idea, but 'pretty' I find to be too vague!

I guess I get a variety of things - usually people say beautiful, pretty, classy, pretty & cute (because I don't look like I am 25). People still think I am in high school at times. hahaha. I'll take it.

sexy... cute thought in terms of personality. I do feel people either fall into the sexy or cute bucket in terms of looks.

Haha, Talldiva...we're in the same boat

*though

I'm probably more likely to get cute which I think I'd prefer over sexy actually. Sexy isn't always interesting. Sometimes I might get pretty or beautiful though. I don't think I'm al that great looking to ever be called beautiful though. I feel like I'm ok looking.

I'm always "cute", but that's to be expected. I visitted my old elementary school (K-12) last week, and I look as old as some of the kids there. I am eighteen. xD

I get gorgeous and beautiful, which is very lucky, but honestly the sexy girls I feel like get the most attention.

I get a random mixing of all of them. I don't really pay attention that much to which one is more though. It's fun to get compliments, and I will take any that someone feels like sending my way!

I think of myself as cute. I usually get cute from others, with a few beautifuls thrown in there.

Me and my friends had a conversation a while back about how we just couldn't pull of sexy.

I've gotten cute, pretty, and sexy. but mainly cute because i'm so short and petite. It bothers me a bit when they treat me like I'm a fragile little china doll and keeps telling me how "cute!" i am. I'd love to be pretty though . I've also had some guys tell me a long time ago that I was exotic (I don't know how they got that from looking at my face really) and used that to tell me 'nicely' that they weren't interested in me when I wasn't even interested in them in the first place! lol

HAPPINESS

cute

My best friend got sexy, I got mostly cute sometimes beautiful. She was the more exotic looking although even more petite than I was. My friend used to say "I'm the one they fantasise about spending the night with, but you are the one they can't help falling in love with". So cute is not that bad.

I get "cute" too often. I could be very flirtatious one day, but guys would just tell me I'm really cute. I now think it's because I'm petite. I get "sexy" and "gorgeous too, but they usually come from girls.

i always get cute... but even though i want to be considered beautiful,gorge, sexy, etc. it makes me a bit uncomfortable...the few times that i have gotten beautiful or sexy i felt like i was being lied to.

I get beautiful a lot and pretty second most often. Women will sometimes throw in gorgeous to show off their vocabulary skills. I'm never cute or sexy.

i get cute (cuz im short) and pretty from girls...
hot from guys...is it just cuz they all hav the same vocab?

Oh, this is totally my pet peeve. I'm 4'6", and have always got the "cute as a button" label. It may sound whiny, but I find it so irritating that people associate me with such a childish term. You'd think 31 would be old enough to have grown into being a beautiful woman...but I think thats really only happened in the eyes of myself and my husband. I guess that's where it counts though.

I often get cute (mainly because of my mannerisms), pretty and gorgeous. But I think I'm "cute" because I always have this big goofy grin on my face and I'm quite childish looking

I get cute, pretty, beautiful, and gorgeous lol depending on the situation. Day to day is more cute and pretty, but when I'm actually dressed up and out, it's beautiful and gorgeous. I guess the fact I'm "exotic" factors in.

I get "beautiful" a lot.

However, my personal favorite is my husband telling me I'm "gorgeous." I also like it when he tells me I'm "hot."

I get beautiful & gorgeous most often. I aim for classic beauty in my "style" though, especially my makeup. My beauty icon is Grace Kelly, not Marilyn Monroe.

I have gotten everything from cute to "like a porn star" (just once from a frat guy).

I'm not sure I've ever been called sexy (to my face anyway), but I've been called "hot" once or twice. Beautiful most often and gorgeous once and awhile. I want to be considered classically beautiful, ala Hepburn, Deitrich, Bacalll.

I get "cute" a lot...it's very child like. Occasionally I get gorgeous, but that is usually from other women. I would kill for sexy or hot or beautiful.

I never get sexy, though I think it would be nice!!

People never call me cute -- I'm 5'11" with a decently angular bone structure. I've heard the others, but I will say, out of all of them, my two favorites have been "stunning" and "striking." I'd love to hear those two more often.

I get "Pretty" and "Sexy" but never "Beautiful."

I get beautiful and pretty the most. Occasionally cute, never sexy. Mostly beautiful.

i mostly get called pretty, but occasionally i get called striking. they are both ok but no matter what i always feel like they are phonies.

however, i have been stopped 3 times in the mall by random people (they are generally coming out of hot topic) telling me like i look like bella from twilight. HA! how do they even know what a fictional character looks like? the only thing they have to go by is brown hair, brown eyes, and pale pale skin. i don't have brown eyes though, so that doesn't make any sense.

I NEVER get cute. In fact, my mom asked someone "isn't my daughter cute?" and they responded "no, cute's not the word to describe her...she's not cute." I get beautiful, never cute.

I get beautiful and exotic the most, although being mixed ethnicities probably helps out with that. I never ever get cute though, i'm not a cutsy person. I'm tall, athletic, a slight feminist, and got a strong personality. I think personality has a lot to do with whether you get cute, or sexy, or beautiful etc. Personality and style of course, the way you portray yourself, and carry yourself shows through. I don't think anything is wrong with any of the terms, be proud of who you are.

I get beautiful or gorgeous mostly, never really sexy or cute, for some reason... I don't know if it has to do with my height. I'm fairly tall, which I think negates the "cute" label. Very interesting topic, though. Excellent question!
