well thank you both for wanting to beat up the guy..

I guess I just dont like to be called cute.. to me, its something that you say to a 12 yr old or about a puppy. I just always wanted to be regarded as something than more than just "cute"... Tell me i'm intelligent, beautiful, funny, fun-loving, someone you want to be around all the time... but just don't call me cute

Generally speaking, very few "real women" are sexy all the time. It really is generally a temporary state, based generally on what's going on in the minds of those making the judgement call (hence how I can find Lindsay Lohan sexy, and my room mate would have no interest in her, or how just the opposite is true for me and another friend in regards to Sarah Michelle Gellar, a truly beautiful but not really all that sexy to me woman)

Cute is more doable, since much of that is based on marginally more objective physical bases, such as being small and wide-eyed (whether cute is necessarily a good thing for whatever purpose you have at hand, again depends on the person you ask). Of course, beyond a certain level, cute as well is a subjective thing, there's a fuzzy line between "Cute" and "Brat", and it moves around based on who you talk to.

That said, I've known cute girls who were nigh-irresistably sexy from time to time. I've known girls who were irresistably sexy who I normally wouldn't even find attractive. Squirtums I think has heard my story of the girl who's scent I'd happily follow into a beartrap. One already filled with a bear even. On the other end of the spectrum, I've met truly beautiful girls who I had no particular interest in, and others I have become obsessed with.

Really, it's all very weird, and I forgot what my point was several paragraphs ago. *goes to look for some cheetos*

And I wouldn't like either one of those two, nor touch either one really. But Both of them are blond and Sarah Michelle needs about 25 pounds Or at least from the last time I saw her in return. Most of the girls I like are cute or have cute attitudes or other such. But beauty is subjective to each person. All really in the eye of the beholder.

Though thanks for agreeing, and if you need a second for your golf club duel I'm more than happy to volunteer. Cute = Bearably ugly? that got me angry.

You know, you're pretty cute when you demand not to be called cute. *ducks*

*grins*.. I'm curious to find out when do I act cute? is there any particular times that you have noticed? *highly curious*

The question is why do they call you evil?

Aside from my DM style being described as 'sadistic' and 'difficult beyond rationality'...

I believe firmly in the Ender Wiggin philosophy.
If you threaten me or those loyal to me, I am not going to wait for you to hurt them.
I will eliminate threats. If that means hurting or injuring an aggressor until they retreat, all the better.
But if your threat is serious enough, then you are no longer a person, but only a problem. And problems can be dealt with in a number of ways. Sometimes vicious ways.

Understand though, I do not enjoy inflicting pain or suffering. Far from it.
But I understand the nescessity.
Pain is the oldest learning tool mankind has.

It's a variation on the golden rule.
Don't cross me, and I won't cross you.

What seems to get me the evil/malicious/mean tag, is that I refuse to let a relationship slowly die.
I'll cut it off, so it hurts a lot now, rather than slowly hurting more and more.

*Sigh*
It's a world of harsh edges we live in, and if you're not willing to hurt others and fight for you and yours, you'll just become a victim.

Also, I punched a baby once.
But, in my own defense, the baby was kind of being a dick.

Babies get away with entirely too much.
That,"they don't know any better",excuse,is a weak defense,in my opinion.

 

[SpeX125]

*sniff*

so what am I?

a one grope stand??

*runs off to binge on wifey's stale cheesenip supply*

Hey,now wait a minute.
I never heard anything back from you,I thought you e-stood me up.

A weak defense, especially when I am two size categories bigger than them.

someone definitely led you astray on the definition of cute- bearably ugly usually gets defined with phases like "unique", "interesting" "has her own definition of beauty" or "I just didn't notice her when we came in the bar 4 hours ago".

Actually none of the above are true-it all gets summed up under the phrase "now looks aren't everything".

Cuteness on the other hand is more of a state of being and yes it applies to animals and children as well as some women. It refers more to how it makes the person using the term cute feel, rather than specific characteristics of the recipient.

imho, someone gets deemed cute when they evoke a sense of playfulness, mischief, a zest for life or freshness in me. A car washing that turns into a water fight, competing at some game that meant nothing moments before simply because doing it with the cute person makes it fun. Exploring a new book, restaurant, movie or language because they are so excited about it. A simple look or sentence from them filled with wit, intelligence, challenge that piques your curiosity. This can have an overtone of sexiness in the case of a cute woman as the playfulness and mischief can involve physical activities, but it also goes beyond that.

Simply put, the reason why many "beautiful" woman are not called cute is that it takes them so much energy to maintain their beauty that they have none left to be fun, playful or challenging. I's a deficiency on their part, not that of a cute woman.

But if a cute woman doesn't want to be called cute, that should be respected as well (at least to her face)

That's my 2.43 cents (Canadian cents which would equal approximately 2 American cents)

Laying aside the fact that a lack of a universal standard of good and evil makes it impossible to answer whether you "are" evil, it would actually appear that you are definitely acting in a Lawful manner. (except for the baby)

Society encourages people not to consider what is important to them and what they would be prepared to do to defend it.

As for relationships the debate between clean break/let them down gently has gone on for millennia with no clear winner.

As for a sadistic DM they are just that much more fun to upset...as long as they remain consistent in the world they have created. Sudden worldwide cataclysmic floods are the retreat of the compensating DM (had one who actually used this negative Deus ex machina to wipe out a party I was part of after we overcame very, very unlikely odds-we chose to be resurrected in the campaign of a different DM after that)

So I'd say don't worry about being labelled, just play nicely with babies from now on.

I suppose then we can expect TMNT versions as well.

Greetings nerds.

In a conversation, last night, one of my friends in passing mentioned that he thought I was evil.
I took a poll of my friends, and apparently, about half of them thought I was, and I quote, 'Evil. And completely beyond redemption.' The other half merely placed me at 'Not nice.'

It gave me a moment of pause.

So, I ask the experts here at the nerd thread.
Am I overly evil?

And skinning kittens doesn't count.

Perhaps we should become consultants for them. Would fund infrastructure improvements for the thread.

Hi Lady R, *scratches the nerd kitty's back* How are you?

I'm gonna leave Video Games alone. But I have to defend my right to say Cute, and not have it seem an insult. Bareably Ugly? I'd have punched him. Well no not just for that, but there'd be consequences. I don't know what neanderthal idiot said that but it's likely the same kind who says I never stick around for the morning Monogamy is a kind of wood, and my personal favorite scum sucking quote. "Unless you're under a buck forty keep walking trick." I heard it in a bar and took some small satisfaction when he started a fight later. With me... And Lost. Badly.

Cute is not an insult. Cute is a state of being and mind for the girl in question. I know 8's 9's 10's and 20's who are not sexy they are just... cute. For the most part no person ever gets called sexy by me. An action might but a person no. Normally because the image that I have in my head in my head for sexy isn't something I want to hang around.

Cute is not Bareably Ugly. In any way shape or form, it's a compliment and when I say it I mean it. About the most offensive thing I say when I say cute is kinda immature. But Cute comes in a lot of ways. Cardinal Sin, My nerd Kitty is Cute, and I like her that way. I like how she dresses and acts, and makes funny little sounds, acts like a child, and is a complete brat half the time. It's Cute. The behavior is Cute. Definetly not sexy to see her act like a 5 year old but do I adore her for it?

Yeah I do. I wouldn't want it any other way from her. Now there are things she does as well that are sexy or times she can look sexy or look gorgeous but for the most part I wouldn't care for her to do that all the time. I'm happy with cute.

As an interesting little tidbit BTW, I read that list and I think I fail only on that part.

As another, and an interesting one that's likely going to earn me a serious cold shoulder from all the Nerdettes. I don't think any of our Lovely and gorgeous nerd women are sexy. I don't think I know a Sexy woman outside one in a comic.

But Our nerd Kitty is incredibly cute and adorable, and looks awesome in a tight T-shirt.
Our Empress is decidely Sultry most of the time, and (Kill me later) her squeak is amazingly cute.
Of the conversations I've had with Muskokan, she's well headed, and (Though Married) quite the catch. And Cute.
Vessy is Cute, quite pretty if she wants to quibble, also very funny.
Appy Chan I've been seeing has really become one of the most desired people on Lit. And I'm serious there go about and look up all those pages for most bangable person who you'd want to date/screw/talk with. She's on top of a LOT of lists here and from a lot of different people here. And even she's not Sexy. Pretty. Damned good looking. Silly. And Even she's Cute.

That's not everyone, Not even everyone I talk to regularly from here. But no Sexy's, No Gorgeous. I think those are private things, great compliments to be shared with someone you care about. Not thrown about.

Now Let's earn some points back.
My Nerd Kitty is Beautiful in the morning when she just wakes up. Little is sexier than watching her when she's not quite awake.
Squirter's Knowledge of Comic Book's and her rabid fan-girl opinion of them is one of the most attractive things I've ever heard and easily her sexiest quality. (And all of you thought I was gonna say her boobs were HA!)

Just because we say cute a lot doesn't mean it's an insult, we like you, we like cute. Pout for a moment then buy us a thesaurus.

Cute: beautiful, charming, dainty, delightful, perky, pleasant, pretty....

*looks at this, her eyes welling up in tears*

Hi Lady R, *scratches the nerd kitty's back* How are you?

I'm doing okay, you?

gtg tho.. Doing some important business art. BB soon.

Ok Gabe we understand. Yeah I caught the penny arcade reference.

Ender was not an evil person and his thoughts and philophy also do not make you evil. I'm Lawful Good or so the tests say and I'm proud to say that most people who know me agree. I follow Ender's philosphy. A soon as you become a threat to me, I attack without mercy or qualm of injuring you. In the most brutal and vicious way I know how. This inculdes idiot people who act all Gangsta or Hardcore Cholo, who come up to me and nudge me then tell me to say sorry. The first shove into my chest is the first elbow in his throat and boot in his temple. Or Boston Kiss. I don't play the Alpha Male trash talk game. That's for Video Games. I was a small kid in school and to bully me Kids came 8 or more at a time.

Thankfully I have enough training not to kill you. Merely break your hands and fingers and knee or such. Now Ender. Ender only murdered Bonzo because he didn't know any other way to defeat an enemy that much larger. Same with the first child that Ender kills when he is 5. And Ender suffered for both.

Now I also amputate I'm quite good at it. But before that I'm honest and I address issues as soon as they arrive. This sometimes gets me the asshole tag. Instead of letting something stir between us for the sake of being nice, I bring something up in the most blunt and direct way possible. No duplicity there is no gain for it. Tell the truth get it out in the open and have your fight over a productive way of keeping you together. Not some screaming match down the road.

The only place we differ my freind is I do not believe this is a harsh world. Nor do I believe I have to hurt people to get ahead, that's a bleak view and it only contributes to the cycle. I avoid confrontation first and foremost and if someone isn't a threat I just take it. I've been a jerk too and just hit that stupid little wanksta actin' kid as well. But I truly beleive that every big beating I've taken is karma for soemthing liek that. I got bullied and I don't want to be one. I beleive in self defense and the military but I don't beleive in Policing other countries. I dunno I'm veering off topic but you don't seem to evil to me.

That and you cast cure spells Mr. Cleric.
