I had this little minor non heated arguement with a male friend. he said theres no difference in hot, sexy, cute, pretty, and beautiful... PAUSE. dumbass. YES. listen and learn for all you males that dont know, theres quite a distinction. This is MY definition..

cute = harmless youthful beauty that makes you smile
pretty = being attractive and appealing to the eyes
beautiful = being enchanting & charming, the highest level of beauty. being appealing inside and out. having the complete package.
sexy/hot = dangerous or high level of physical/sexual attraction. causes stimulation of the imagination.

Beautiful is the highest level, then pretty, then cute, then sexy/hot.

again.. this is MY opinion
