+174 You find it hard to compliment a guy because saying "You're cute" might be interpreted differently, "You're hot" sounds shallow and "You're handsome" just sounds too formal. Amirite?

I personally don't like being called cute, because I worry that it means cute in a little kid way. I would actually be really flattered if someone called me handsome, though smile

I am yet to master every social cue, but when I call a guy cute, I think he's good looking. Not in a little kid way.

Actually, I've realised that I call guys 'adorable' too. When I say that, I actually think you are the most beautiful thing I've seen in my life.

Adorable is something most guys don't wanna be called. It's like, "Aww, the adorable little puppy is chasing a lizard. Awwww." I would much rather be called cute than adorable

Haha, yes I am aware of that too. But then again, think about it. Adorable, root word: adore. Adore means to have great love or respect for someone. Adorable means lovely or delightful or charming. If you're someone to be adored, it should be a great honour. A person thinks that you are lovely, in terms of companion or just a charming person overall. Yes, it may also mean to be lovable in a childlike manner but really, for me, if I say adorable.. like I said, you are the most beautiful person to me.

I usually end up going with "cute" or "adorable" for the exact reasons you listed

Yeah, but depending on your tone of voice (if it is not spot-on) it will sound like you're sarcastic.

I call my boyfriend handsome and I think he likes it

As a boy in highschool I think being called handsome is a great compliment. I actually prefer it over other adjectives.

As an official penis-person, I would like to say that I appreciate any compliment given to me.

This really depends on the guy. Some guys hate being called cute, but I like it when my girlfriend calls me cute. Then again, I'm a bit narcissistic, so I like any complement. :)

I usually compliment them different ways. "Your hair looks great that way!" "That shirt looks really great on you!" "You look nice today"
