My celebrity equations are this: </p> <p>Cute: Ginnifer Goodwin, Hayden Paniteere (sp?)<br /> Pretty: Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawerence<br /> Gorgeous: Nina Dobrev, Marissa Miller<br /> Beautiful: is timeless; Helen Hunt, Sandra Bullock </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc/page/2#post-533358 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 08:46:34 +0000 Sammyfab 533358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I completely agree with your original definitions!</p> <p>I do think cute has a lot to do with a person's personality and how they act whereas pretty and beautiful are purely looks-based. I equate gorgeous with a degree of sexiness.</p> <p>I also don't think it's a scale of good looking-ness. They're just....different descriptions. Like, I think Zooey Deschanel and Minka Kelly are equally good looking but because of their features and personality traits, one is pretty and the other is beautiful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc/page/2#post-533323 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 08:21:28 +0000 Grace 533323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Why? It's ranking of something good! If anyone thought I was cute, I'd be very pleased (even if it's at the bottom of my scale). Also, I think most people fall in the cute/pretty range. But, I guess it's an unanswerable question - beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc/page/2#post-533195 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 01:27:34 +0000 cyndistar3 533195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I typically get beautiful more than anything that or lovely for some reason. Can't say that I agree with either but I really don't think I fall into the cute category, I really don't know what I am lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc/page/2#post-533176 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:54:11 +0000 Pink Champagne 533176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get beautiful or pretty a lot. Never cute. I don't think<br /> I'm petite or freckle-y enough to be "cute". ;)<br /> Honestly, as they say, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"... I am sure there are plenty of women whom I might find none of those adjectives, but I bet their husbands think they're beautiful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc/page/2#post-533138 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 23:59:10 +0000 shopaholic 533138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gotten "cute" my whole life. I figure it's my round face and generally youthful appearance. My younger sister, who everyone says we look like twins, has always gotten "hot", "gorgeous", "sexy", "beautiful." Perhaps the difference is in the way we carry and portray ourselves? Like, I generally prefer to dress sweet and feminine vs. sexy and bold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-533131 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 23:53:44 +0000 Freckles 533131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: i find hot usually refers mainly to someone's physique. My husband will say, "She's hot, but not that pretty." </p> <p>@HLK208: I always find that you get "beautiful" when you put in the effort too! I notice comments of "gorgeous/beautiful" on friends' wedding photos when i would normally think of them as cute (on an everyday basis). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-533124 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 23:38:21 +0000 HLK208 533124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Superhero: that's a great theory! Haha. That's how I see it too. I don't pull off pretty that well, but cute or beautiful sometimes (I have to put a lot of hard work in to get beautiful). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-533065 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 22:02:31 +0000 yoursilverlining 533065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think of beautiful as natural beauty; someone who is stunning without makeup on. Gorgeous is like beautiful; except they are made up. I think lots of people can be gorgeous from time to time; but few people are really beautiful. </p> <p>Cute seems youthful and pretty is a safe, middle of the road category. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-533061 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:59:45 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 533061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: Zooey is cute/beautiful. Depending on her mood. More cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-533058 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:57:54 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 533058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember the guys I knew when I was 18-19 having a theory on this. There was Pretty, Cute, and Beautiful. You could be a mix of two but never all three. Pretty is more feminine and natural. Fine boned maybe, pastels. Cute is more a style/attitude thing I think. Pigtails. Mittens. Beautiful is stronger featured than pretty, more like bombshell. </p> <p>I can be cute or beautiful, but I don't pull off pretty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-533048 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:53:40 +0000 Mrs. Pen 533048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: I think that's true too... However I think my instinct is to rank them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-533023 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:46:14 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 533023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: @Grace: i don't necessarily think so...i think they can be independent of each other. kinda like types? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-533004 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:35:29 +0000 Mrs. Pen 533004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: yeah I think that too, but I don't want to think of it that way :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-532984 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:24:10 +0000 MrsSCB 532984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I've gotten exotic too, and I always think, "I guess I'll take that as a compliment..." Haha people are always asking where I'm "from." I'm just boring 100 percent American with Irish, English, and Eastern European ancestors so nothing all that exciting! Who knows... Haha</p> <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: Total girl crush on Kate Beckinsale here too! So beautiful!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-532967 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:19:04 +0000 rachiecakes 532967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: after Black Swan she probably needed to gain 50lbs! hahaha they were both under 100lbs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-532961 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:17:28 +0000 Grace 532961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a good-looking scale. Cute, then pretty, then beautiful, then gorgeous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-532960 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:17:28 +0000 Mrs. Pen 532960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: delicate- I like that! With that terminology I agree :)</p> <p>@mrbee: eh I was thinking about from sexual connotations I guess. Sexy/hot are more sexual to me.</p> <p>@rachiecakes: cute.</p> <p>@rachiecakes: I was going I say mila as well! Though she's gained 50 lbs since black swan and has kinda let herself go :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-532950 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:14:50 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 532950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: i feel like hot can = slightly trashy. like megan fox. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-532946 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:14:16 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 532946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: why, thank you! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-532945 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:13:51 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 532945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: i think of cute having to do more with facial features -- like reese's nose is so cute! and her heart-shaped face adds to the cuteness...i feel like cute is a mix of delicate and sweet features. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-532939 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:12:37 +0000 banana 532939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: I say she's more cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-532937 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:12:26 +0000 banana 532937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Isn't hot the same as sexy? Oh wait, sexy wasn't one of the options.

Maybe Alessandra Ambrosio?</p> <p>I would say Reese is pretty or beautiful. I think of cute as more youthful- so someone like kiernanshipka or Emma Watson is cute </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-532918 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:07:35 +0000 Dandelion 532918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm short...and I look younger than my years, so I get called cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cute-pretty-gorgeous-beautiful-etc#post-532915 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:06:56 +0000 pastemoo 532915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: :) I like your celebrity equation.
