in the past couple of days at uni, i had the very scary experience of having several poeple (female people, i might add) call me <shudder> "cute".
honestly, i don't believe them, so i whipped out my webcam and here's a pic so you can give me your opinion.

You are cute, in a "very chic for the season," cam-whore way. The eyebrows could use a trim, and I bet you'd be adorable in a head band so that we could see your pretty face....

Up to you to figure out if I'm sarcastic or not. Go!

i think the looking like a stoner is from me trying to look at the webcam and the monitor at the same time. and from the fact that i had at least 6 beers earlier today.
nice to know that i can pull off the stoner look though.

NO. that is a very bad idea. i DO NOT want to go to uni looking like i'm 15. no girl i've met so far thinks that's a good idea. except for the one who wanted me to shave and dress up as cardcaptor sakura (damn you CLAMP!).

won't work for 2 reasons:
1. the people who called me cute go the same uni as i do and waste their time in the same place as me
2. if i do shave and get a haircut, they'll continue calling me cute because they know how much it pains me, especially if i'm trying to get them to stop

Oh, you poor thing? Can you only get girls who aren't able to turn you down? That surely must suck.

Maybe you should consider a personality transplant. I hear they do wonders for not getting your genitals ripped out by girls' brothers/fathers/rogue cops.

Or by, for those reading this who aren't living in a phallic-centred world, the woman you plan on taking advantage of. Some of us have pretty nifty sets of teeth on us, you know.

You are assuming that they are given a choice.

Well, yes. That's because Kanabia can get girls who are actually conscious, and no doubt finds the idea of 'taking advantage' of girls utterly sickening. Might as well fuck a corpse, for all it'll do for your reputation. If you don't give them a choice, you're basically acknowledging the fact that, given a choice, they'd run a mile if even approached by you. Way to give us girls such an early warning.

But then again, we have a case here in Aus of a family of rapists whose father watched a tape of one of his sons raping a comatose 13 year old, and whose only comment was "...Wouldn't he make a great gynecologist...", so... yes. Nothing regarding male-depravity would surprise me right now.

...

This all combined with my readings of the Kitty Genovese case is making me wonder how long it'll be 'til we can revoke humanity.

Doesn't sound like something to worry about - when I call guys cute, I'm normally referring to mannerisms, not looks. Adorable, cute and sweet all mean the same thing - "I am amused by what you are doing, but in the good 'it improves my opinion of you' way, not the bad 'hahaha I point and laugh' way".

It was a joke, based in truth. You really need to grow some thicker skin or stop taking everything so personally. It was a friendly jibe - you're supposed to either jibe back, or cleverly argue for your point of view.

Not everything is an attack. Some things are actually attempts at making you feel like part of the crowd here, you know, by not walking on egg-shells around you. :rolleyes:

06-08-2005, 04:35
In reality it depends on the body language and voice quality of the women involved to explain in what way they found you cute.

There is the " Oh my GAWD he is soooo cute." Translation: They think you are absolutely gorgeous.

Oh.. he's cute. Translation: He is acceptable... has possibilities or they are just playing it cool.

Your just so cute. Translation: Sees something you did as funny/made them happy/ or ....the bane one.....see you like a brother.

Ect.

So think back and try to decipher what they were really saying

Oh yeah... I forgot... some might just think you are cute lol.

Well, depends what you mean by objective. Or what I meant. If you just kind of get out some calipers and measure proportions and compare, then sure, you have some sort of objective measure. If you're saying the good looking person in the picture isn't an objective standard, well you have a point, beauty is in the eye the beholder. On the other hand, a lot of the eyes tend to agree on what is beautiful. ;)

That's good news for him. :) The other ('handsome') guy is actually a computer generated composite. I tried it out with my face and Gregory Peck's once, and I have to admit, to me we both looked better than individually (although, not according to some people, so what do I know?).
