Whether one is Jailbait or not.

No difference, you’re both.

Cute is, “I think you are beautiful, but I can’t put my finger on why”.

Beautiful is “I want you, because you are all the things I wanted”.

To me cute is attractive, sensible and pleasing.

Beautiful is awe, majestic and inspiring.

This applies to all aspects of my life.

For instance, I think the art work of Hello Kitty design is cute, but to me abstract paintings are beautiful.

Cute is usually more innocent and for young people. Beautiful is for visually striking older people.

Edit: Maybe not older people, but people that don’t have a child like appearance.

No, cute is not uglier than beautiful.

Cute is cuter than beautiful.

This is cute

And this is beautiful.

By convention, they depict different things.

She is cute

She is beautiful

^ she’s also cute though.. so.. yea.. deal with it

Beauty fades—cute is forever.

——Now this is ugly.—

It’s not graded in terms of ugliness. Cute is what makes you go “awww” but also implies innocence, naivety and usually someone too young. When I think of someone as cute there is usually no sexual attraction. Beauty is more mature and often accompanied by sexual attraction.

Yes, because cute is a patronising term used by ugly loser types who delude themselves into thinking they’re charmers…yeah right.

“Cute” is generally just appearance, sometimes, mistakenly, “I love her because she’s beautiful.”

On the other hand, “she’s beautiful because I love her”. There’s beauty.

Depends on who it’s said by @downtide. Grandma can say “cute” or “beautiful” and neither are sexually implicit.

But “cute” when said with emphasis by the right person, as “Kha-yoooot” definitely implies a sexual turn on… Like “I’d tap that” or “I wanna bite that cute little…”.

In this way, “cute” is much “hotter” than “beautiful”.

” Is “cute” uglier than “beautiful”? ”

Rephrase that sentence.

Some women are more attractive physically than others, thus cute moves into beautiful. Some are not physically attractive at all. Still, physical attractiveness is only one aspect of a person. This is the real world and this is what we deal with regardless of social science rationalizations and other types of ideological rationalizations.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So is cute. Nothing is set in stone. To me a beautiful person has it in them, their bone structure and facial features, for example. Cute is more in mannerisms, the way they act, their personality, and yes also how they look but in a different way. There is nothing wrong with either, nothing better about one over the other. If you are trying to be one or the other you are going to come off desperate and its gonna be weird. Anyhow! Beauty does come from within. You can be hot but if you’re a complete asshole, only complete assholes are still going to be attracted to you.

I don’t differentiate until I hear, “Awww. Bless his/her little heart”.

nicest way to say ugly ever.

Cute: Not unattractive but needs some personal connection to make it desirable or more than merely not a mud duck; looking OK to 6 out of 10 people.

Beautiful: Stunning, gorgeous, creating desire even when no facts or personal connection is present and doesn’t need to be; looking great to 8 out of 10 people.
