Is "cute" a real complement?

  • I always say that to guys when I like them. I tell them they're really cute and I only rarely use the word handsome. It's not the same as when I talk about a kitten or something. You should take it as a compliment.

    • Handsome is too formal, and kind of old-fashioned.

      Cute can come off as emasculating, however. I don't get girls who have an obsession with this word. My girlfriend uses it often, much to my irritation...

      • Now I'll feel self-conscious when I use it :/ What word do men prefer?

        • Pretty much any other word that describes what it means to you when you say the word 'cute' to a guy. Even 'handsome,' old fashioned though it may be, is still a better alternative. Lol.

        • It is a bit emasculating, but I'm fine with it I guess. It's just that it's all people say so I was a little suspicious of weather or not it was a real complement.
