Or do you prefer other adjectives? Do you consider it to be insulting or do you take it for a compliment if it was meant as one? (Assume an amenable relationship between the two people, not a random stranger or creeper)
It super depends on who’s saying it!
For me being cute is not a looks thing but more of a behaviour/personality compliment so i like it
If you want to say you like how I look compliment one of the grooming, fashion, or accessory choices, and I’ll get the hint.
Hell, compliment my muscles. Literally just compliment anything I have agency over.
Yes because I am cute. Actually. That’s my aesthetic.
Edit: I see a lot of people calling it infantilizing, but it’s my personality. And I’m older than other people on here have said they are.
really depends on the context. if i’m showing off my cosplay, no. If I’m receiving an award and posing for the camera – yeah my looks aren’t relevant.
