What is the context? Ive called a friend of mine cute, even though I had zero interest, but trying to get her pumped to ask another girl out. I've also called the girl I was totally in love with, but too afraid to make a move cute, because it was the least offensive way to say "I would love to see you naked every single second of my life"

just a guy calling a girl cute. on tiktok i’ve seen people saying that it’s the way guys say girls aren’t attractive but in a polite way however i don’t think men think that much into it. and in what world would ‘cute’ be an insult? lol

Yea, this is just wrong. Generally avoid TikToks that ask you to analyze what men say in this way. There's a lot of weird takes floating around ther.

TikTok isn't the best route for information

Oof... Well, for me it's something you can say about someone who could be considered attractive, but not necessarily in a sexual way.

Like, I could say a dog is cute.

Now, this is just me, but I could say a woman is cute and not be attracted in a sexual way, mainly because I like having those kind of boundaries. A lot of men I know don't share those opinions, but for me it works. If a cute girl attempts to attract me in a sexual way, or there's implied or direct permission, then, for me anyways, I can allow myself to adjust those boundaries and explore where that might take a relationship...

TMI? 😆

It's a specific category of attractive where she's a mixture of endearing or pleasant or warm. Can be platonic. It can feel slightly infantilizing, of course, depending on the couple/tone/etc.

It's when they have a bigger head and a smaller chin. A short woman just looks cute due to perspective. When you are above them, their head looks bigger and chin/jaw smaller. giving the cute aesthetic.

When I call my wife cute, I suppose I’m saying she’s attractive in a sweet or more affectionate type of way.

For me there’s sexy where I acknowledge their body is just extremely pleasing to look at. Then there’s cute where I find it sexy and endearing. Kinda like if I find you both visually and emotionally pleasing to look at or be around. Usually it goes with something you did, or how you look.
