"cute" is used for girls who are reasonably good looking, have good personalities, you can spend time with them, and you would be happy to have a long term relationship with.

Hot would normally be the object of lust rather than love. you're more likely to just have a 1 night stand with a "hot" girl - if even that.

I dont know if this is everyone's definition. However, in answer to your other question, yes Cute is a compliment. In fact, i know some of my female friends would much prefer to be called "cute" rather than "hot".

I'd say you've got that more-or-less exactly right. It may be unfortunate for a "hot" girl in some instances - inside, there may be a "cute" girl screaming to get out, if you see what I mean. (Or vice-versa).
It's the age-old cliché - no guys will ask the "hot" girl to dance in case she says "no".

Cute = face

Hot = body

But I very, very rareley describe a girl as hot and hardly ever as being cute.

Then what do you say in your language?

I think I saw this brought up in Health and Relationships

Yes, you saw something along very similar lines brought up in H&R.

How do you classify a girl as 'cute' or 'hot'/'fit'?

recneps pretty much hit the nail on the head. To me, "cute" girls are the ones I'd be looking at for a while, trying to find out more about them as I may have a chance with them, whereas "hot" girls are solely eye-candy.

Is the term 'cute' a compliment or not?

Yes, it is...

Any examples in the celebrity world of someone who is 'cute' as opposed to 'hot'?

Can't think of any off the top of my head, but then again I AM rather tired...might think of some later on :wink:

:ditto:

Elisha Cuthbert is 'hot', but I can't think of any 'cute' celebrities, it's not the popular thing I don't think.
I like girls who go out with guys for personality rather than oh he has big muscles.

i have both :rolleyes:

cute girls are the ones you can look at in the eyes for a second or two and just knowing that yeah, your so cute.

hot ones are the ones you just think phwoarrrr and then when she catches you looking at her, you immediately look away,
Well cute would mean more or less very adorable with great personalities and good adorable looks while hot would mean good looking person with great physical features. I like the cute ones better then the good looking but bitchy* personalities.

* not sure if i could use this work, if im not allowed well im sorry.

Basicaslly whats just been said really.

Cute girls are the girls who you want to marry because they are the ones with personality.

Hot girls are the one night stand and who would most likely never want to form a relationship with you in the first place.

I agree.

I think being cute has more to do with personality than looks. A hot girl is someone you just want to bang, a cute girl is someone you want to bang and then cuddle with. So cute is better :smile:

But if you say something like that and then post a picture, either everyone will say "Damn, you're really ugly!" or "Oh my god, you're such an attention seeker, just fishing for compliments!"
