Sexy versus Cute
 

This came to my mind today after several guy friends said that my new, shorter haircut made me look "cute", whereas before I was "sexy"

Question for the ladies:
Would you rather be considered cute or sexy?

Question for the guys:
Which do you prefer- cute or sexy?


Some sociological gene in me went into gear when I started thinking about this.

cute
 

I would probably have the world at large see me as "cute," though I think it's probably possible for a woman to be both cute and sexy at the same time. I think "cute" is approachable and someone you bring home to mom, whereas "sexy" might be a bit intimidating or one-dimensional- definitely hot but is there more to her than that?

cute...i've been told i'm both and i like thinking i'm cute better. it just makes me feel better about myself, i'm not really sure why.

My guy friends have always told me that I was "cute" and one day I questioned why it wasn't something else?

Why CUTE ?

My guy friends later explained to me that in their opinions, a girl who was cute was way better than a girl who was "sexy" and that they would much rather date a girl they considered "cute". A girl who was cute was the kind of girl they would want to take home to meet their parents, and a girl who was sexy was just.. well, umm.. I don't think I have to explain that one.

But they were just a few out of many guys in the world ... so some other guys may think different.

I personally like being considered cute ;) :)

I hate being called "cute." Not that "sexy" is what I'm aiming for, either. How about pretty? Elegant? Classy? Sophisticated? Beautiful?

I think I would much rather be considered "Sexy." Although "cute" is nice, sometimes that doesnt cut it. Both have their own time and place, just depends on the situation.

You all should at least be feeling lucky you're called anything.

It's not too often at all that I'm called anything but "okay."

But I guess it works different w/ guys :-/

Everyone calls me cute, and I don't like it. It makes me feel like i'm a 10y.o. kid.

I'd go for cute, but I'd rather be called classy than cute. I've been called sexy in the bedroom, but that's totally different. That's exactly ONE TIME I wouldn't want to be called cute :p

Depends on who is doing the calling. I'd take "cute" overall.

I prefer my boyfriend to regard me as sexy, other than that I really don't care what other guys think :p

Different guys have told me that I'm cute and sexy. But when they tell me I'm sexy, I get kind of embarassed just because I don't see myself as being sexy. But a compliment is still a compliment nonetheless, so it doesn't really matter to me.

I've always been cute and it drives me nuts. I've always wanted to be breathtakingly gorgeous :p and if not that at least considered beautiful. But no, I'm just cute. I think it's maybe b/c my sense of humor is similar to a 9 year olds. ;)

It depends who it's from.

IMO
cute=pretty and youthful
sexy=pretty and mature

Cute, always cute.

I mind less and less as I get older and older, though.
