I don’t really see why ppl see this as such a big deal. It feels really inappropriate to just be like “you’re so hot” so I just say cute and do it in a kind way to not make ppl as uncomfortable as hot makes some ppl. Plus hot is a lot more subjective than cute. Many women have called me cute but only two women have ever called me hot and I’m the wlw hunchback of notre dame
I was typing the rest but I was going to say that what makes you hot varies from person to person. I am in no way conventionally attractive but I found a few women who make me feel like a hot queen. I think cute soft, kind, naive guys are so hot. But my best friend likes witty sarcasm and dark humor and finds it very hot. I hate this shit and it makes my vagina clam shut
