I've hated the word cute since I was a little girl because it just sounds patronising, as you say.
After hearing men try to justify themselves, I had to look it up and I saw this.
I appreciate direct speech, so I'd rather be told "I want to fuck you" than someone speaking "cute".
100%. Why not just say what you mean? If anything, I think that's more of a compliment to a woman, and speaks well of one's self-confidence. It takes guts to say you're attracted to somebody, so why not win yourself easy points by just doing that instead?
I could never call someone I'm attracted to cute. It sounds vaguely illegal xD
