What is the difference between calling a woman "Hot" and calling a woman "Beautiful"?

Fair point. However, the ones who are, aren't trying.

In my opinion,hot is more of the superficial side of things.this is based on attraction,which naturally is what we notice in a potential life partner.beautiful however is still looks and superficial,but not in a sexy way.a person can be beautiful on the inside to,like have a beautiful personality.she can be a heavenly angel.for me a relationship based on tne more important things is far more important.

Absolutely! And a man can be intelligent, handsome, and in my opinion hot!
Hot= Something about a person that really attracts you to them. Can be anything. A look they give, a mannerism, an attitude, something they say or even do...their voice. I'm not afraid to use that word. It doesn't bother me if someone says it.

I'm far from being a feminist...but when men say things about women wearing makeup or dressing feminine...it sticks in my crawl. A lot of women, myself included, like to look feminine and do it for ourselves. Women dont want to always look frumpy...it can make one feel frumpy.
I have no problem some days wearing a tshirt, Jean's, a ponytail, ball cap, and clean face. I dont want to be like that everyday. That's for cleaning the house, mowing grass, or going fishing. Times I dont feel I want to be overly feminine.
Sure, there are women that dress in band-aides that have been stitched together and so much makeup they look like a different person. It's just not all of us.
As for the beauty industry...its more than makeup...although what they charge these days is ludicrous...but beauty products also have a lot to do with skin care, hair care, shaving products, and plain hygiene products. Nothing is wrong with taking care of ones self and holding on to young looking skin and healthy hair.
I cant tell you how many men complain that after marriage their wives let themselves go...and geesh...the men that use that as an excuse to cheat...
A woman's actions dont necessarily have to evolve around the male species no more than mens lives evolve around females. It's all about being an individual and having self worth, self confidence, and self respect.

I over reacted, I hope I may be forgiven

I understand, thank you

Maybe hot refers to her going through the menopause lol

What I don’t understand is hot is used to refer to something good.
But cool is also used to refer to something good.
So a woman can be both hot and cool - yep definate reference to the menopause.

You could say, "How should I know? She might be hot, she might be cold. I have no idea."

This one's even better: Tell him, "The only thing that's really important is if you think she's hot."

This is a good one, thanks!

i've never had random men tell me i'm hot/cute/beautiful/pretty/etc, so i don't know how i would react.

i think this is one of the benefits of being antisocial. in order for me to hear these kinds of comments, i gotta be around peoples

Familiarity and intention.

Hot from a stranger = rude or a compliment depending on the person
Hot from a friend = cute or creepy
Hot from a companion = brings a blush or a smile

Stranger’s intention = perceived as lust or interest
Friend’s intention = being nice, joking or flirty
Companion’s intention = expressing an opinion, flirting, admiring your attractiveness
