general Is it better to be cute or handsome?

[Muffinnz 3,219]

A girl told me I was really really super cute today but idk if that's a good thing. I didnt know what to say, what do I say? I was kind of afraid

Personally I'm attracted more to cute rather than handsome, so I wouldn't consider that a bad thing!

[Splashee 28,537]

I think it depends on the situation!

 

You want to be both cute and handsome (of course). But being called cute can mean different things, like you were acting cute rather than looking cute. Also, if you are English, cute is an insult (my English teacher said that once, wanting me to use the word "pretty" instead. I ignored that teacher. I think using the word "cute" is cuter than the word "pretty").

 

Handsome has a formal tone to it. Like you have dressed up nicely and look all grown up and handsome! But that is my take on it.

I’m neither cute nor handsome.

So, I lose on either end.

Find that girl. Stop her and say she is cute as well.

That's too scary for me

I don't know I mean...when I see a good-looking guy I always say he's cute rather than handsome but that's just me. 

[applesjck 5,601]

I always call guys cute if I think they’re good looking, handsome has always seemed like such a formal word to me. 

[Dabmanz 2,128]

Both words are compliments so either.

Next time you see her, and there is no one (immediate) around. Just walk up, clear your head of anything, smile and say "hi, thank you for noticing me".

 

You have nothing to lose. I know it is scary, but she made a move, imagine how she felt? She might have been as scared or even more scared than you. It's definitely something you should consider, if you get a chance.

It was probably nothing and I'm just overthinking it

[ExplosionMare 18,007]

It’s possible to be both but sometimes a “cute” person doesn’t want to be called cute cause it makes them feel embarrassed. 

[Cash In 21,509]

It's really personal preference and I really don't see much of a difference between the two terms. Both are intended as compliments. I've been called both and while I don't agree, they are often delivered with good intentions.

cute is great, especially when the other person starts blushing in response

In this situation, it was definitely something.

 

I would rather be called cute by a girl, like that, than be called something else. Whatever the meaning of the word "cute" was, it is far better than any alternatives (including silence).

Being called cute gets annoying at some point, this is an issue I get a lot sooo I’d vote handsome

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

That depends on opinion. Personally I'd rather be cute so I could dress up in the clothes I want, but genetics gave me the shorter end of the stick, so that won't happen.

[Here No Longer 5,270]

That really depends entirely on personal preference. In my own appearance, I personally prefer to go for cute since I prefer to have an appeal that's more, shall we say, based on your average masculine non-straight guy's proclivities. But when it comes to guys I'd go for, I go more for handsome.

Deerie you're so handsome!

@Blivy you big silly 

[TheSupremeLeaderOfChaos 1,189]

I think cute is becoming a more and more gender-neutral term. Handsome can sound so formal, so cute's can be a less loaded word for people to use as a compliment. It's definitely a good thing.

[SharpWit 2,472]

Cute is better in the long term if you want to have serious relationships I think, but ultimately it doesn't matter once you're older.

@Muffinnz at the very least pass this girl a note if you're interested
