What's the difference between a woman being "pretty"? and a women being "gorgeous or hot"?

Question

Is there a difference? In my opinion pretty=attractive, but not overly attractive but gorgeous, beautiful and hot=irresistible, and lustfully attractive. What do you think?

Answer 1

Before I even start I gotta say, you asked the right question; I was born to answer this :P

The difference is actually really similar to how you described:

1) Pretty is eye-catching but not eye-popping, and can be categorized with innocent and clean.

2) Gorgeous/Hot is over-the-top jaw-dropping, and I would definitely agree in a lustful way. Sometimes it's almost a curse to be hot, because some may see Hot as a one-night stand type of girl and not someone you bring home to Mom.

I would definitely say I'm a fan of the cute and pretty girls; eye-catching and the girl next door-esque, but also someone whom you look past the attractive front and see the inner beauty as well.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The difference is attitude..........

Answer 3

pretty=cute

hot=wetdream

im my opinion though your pretty when you look good with makeup and beautiful and gorgeous is when you look good even without makeup

Answer 4

Pretty is usually not descriptive of sexual attraction, for instance, Pretty may be used when talking about a specific feature like face, or eyes.  Beautiful is more of a paired attraction, and is more inclusive of an entire set of items like face eyes along with height, desirable weight (which is different for different people).  Beautiful seems to carry more of an emotional attraction, where as Pretty is just an understood attraction.  Hot or irresistible goes into the sexual attraction and may focus on sexual areas of the person.

Though this is just my opinion, and I don't always use these definitions when explaining my attraction.    

Answer 5

pretty is cute, quirky, and sweet gorgeous means she hs the body the personality and in most case s money!

Pretty is pleasant and sweet; gorgeous is breathtaking, stunningly beautiful; and hot is sexually attractive.

Answer 9

Answer 10

i would think that hot is referring to the girl's face and especially the body.  gorgeous would be if she has an amazing personality and great looks.  pretty would be if she had a pretty face. but that's just what i think.
