Women of Lemmy, do you mind being called cute? (lemm.ee)

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)

Well, I'm in my 40s, so to call me cute would be weird bordering on rude. But to say you like a piece of my clothing or some aspect of my personality is nice to hear.

ok cute is a not go but ok to say you have a nice piece of something.

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Piece of clothing, like "I like that shirt" or "cool shoes".

And aspect of personality, like "I appreciate the perspective that you bring to our team" or "you are a strong writer".
