Calling someone/Being called 'Hot' or 'Pretty'/'Beautiful' ...
So something happened today, and it got me thinking...
Guys, is there a difference in your thoughts when you call a girl 'Hot' compared to if you were to call a girl 'Pretty' or Beautiful'?
Like would you excpect to give off a different message depending on what word you use?
Why?
Or is it something I'm looking too deep into?
And girls, do feel different, or have different reactions/views to if a guy was to call you 'Hot' compared to 'Pretty' or 'Beautiful'?
Would you interpret it in a different way?
Why?
Not so sure if this is worded properly, but hope you guys understand.

I don't like being called sexy or hot. In fact I don't like any complement apart from 'you look nice', as to me it is neutral and implies you just look nice. Cute means I look like a mouse, which I am trying to get away from as I have a baby face. Hot or sexy means you wanna sex me, which is a bit meh for me unless I want to have sex with you back at that specific moment which is unlikely. To me anyway.
Also, beautiful is a bit cringe but if it was said to me id believe it lol, as no one says that unless they mean it right?? I always reply 'thank you, you too' to most compliments which is fun.
Oh dear I have just exposed one of my many neuroses

'Hot': she's fit, would bang
'Beautiful': has more innocence to it, perhaps a serious relationship.

Whether it's good or not depends on how you want people to see you, I think some people who are hot (my friend and I were discussing Scarlett Johannsen and how people don't mention her personality, just the fact that she's hot) end up being pigeonholed as just being someone for people to shag and leave, and there's certain kinds of pretty where people just want you as an ornament rather than a partner.
As it is, I'm never called hot.

Is it really that specific?

Well its not a hard and fast rule or anything, but generally speaking yeah (well IMO).
I've noticed other people using the terms more interchangeably, though.
Calling someone hot/sexy may suggest sexual connotations (but not always), whereas calling someone pretty/beautiful is kinda being fascinated with their looks in a more innocent way.
But, e.g., a 25 y/o man calling a little 12 y/o girl 'pretty' is fine... whether him referring to her as sexy/hot will make him look like a paedo..
Also, I find that when ppl refer to someone as hot/sexy they focus on their body usually.
Pretty/cute usually describes face
and Beautiful/attractive - overall impression of fascination/charm

Reaction to 'hot': "Wow, really?
" (I get called cute more often)I'm not generally flattered when I get called hot, I have no idea why, maybe its to do with the fact that hot simply means high temperature
Reaction to 'pretty': "Awh, thank you!
"Always flattered when I get called pretty though
I think hot's more to do with like physical (maybe sexual) attraction, whereas beautiful is more to do with, i don't know, its hard to explain: like appreciating someone's facial aesthetics, but without being physical attracted to them. But, yeah, what Plantagenet said!
