It sucks when you are told you are hot when you find it insulting. Hot to me is an insult, just as sexy is. Pretty is..."meh"...not beautiful but appealing. Cute is an insult.
Beautiful is much better than pretty, if you are going to compliment somebody.

I would say that beautiful is on a higher plane than pretty is, though I'm not certain cute could be considered an insult. Perhaps, this is depending on the gender of whomever is labelled as cute (for men, most obviously, it could work as an insult). But a girl being called cute would likely go for it, so I wouldn't think it's that bad.
Agreed on the whole sexy/hot phase. It can be received as just a derivative way of treating the person like a bag of flesh in lieu of an actual person.
If I think about it, I never really label people as hot, but more pretty or even mesmerizing. :O
Jam it back in, in the dark.
