Hot vs. Pretty

This is a conversation that I have with a lot of people, the whole type of grading system. From what I figured by asking guys, when they say
A) Cute - it could either mean that they have a cute personality, that they're really friendly and they have nice little sweet mannerisms that make them want to hug the girl. OR it could mean that the girl isn't strikingly beautiful/sexy nor is she ugly, but because they're nice girls it makes them cute.

B) Pretty - Tends to mean the latter of the Cute description.

C) Beautiful - Is only used when the person has actual feelings for the person on a personal level, and not just on physical attraction.

D) Hot - Now THIS is the one that people can't seem to decide on. Sometimes hot can mean that the girl/guy just oozes sex appeal. They are physically attractive, and sometimes SO attractive that there isn't even a sense of attraction TO them because they don't trust them due to their looks or some other reason. Basically sometimes you can find someone hot, but just not want to go out with them. Or you might. It could be someone you're attracted to both physically and spiritually.

I'm just as bad as other people when using these terms. I admit to calling guys cute, and it can be seen as degrading since it's like "awww look a the cute little puppy". But I can't really call a guy pretty...so I tend to stick with good looking and hot.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
