I don't really see how, since they all pretty much mean the same thing: Another person likes the way you look.
Attractive is when you find somebody appealing for a potential partner (ex. a straight girl would not find another girl attractive, she might find her pretty (as in here), beautiful or maybe even cute depending on the context, but not attractive. A straight guy would be attracted to a girl who's attractive but he could think a girl is pretty without finding her attractive.)
Pretty is like I said in my original post, not attractive, not sexy, just pretty like art or fireworks or a fancy dress, you're not sexually attracted to a dress, therefore its pretty or beautiful but not attractive, or somebody's hair can look pretty, you wouldn't usually describe hair as attractive.
Cute can mean attractive, but not always. It usually means ur describing something like a baby animal, or something with kitty ears or big eyes or something thats fuzzy or having an appearance of a small child (normal people dont find them attractive, they find them cute, pretty, possibly beautiful. How many times have u walked up to someone holding a newborn baby and said to them "Your baby is so attractive" they'd think you're nuts)
Beautiful is just a higher more intensified version of pretty just as sexy is an intensified version of attractive.
Those may be your definition or explanation of what pretty, attractive, cute and beautiful mean but it may not be the same for other people. As people have different ideas as to what they find appealing to them. Look up any of the four words in a dictionary and they'll usually be synonyms with this term: "Pleasing or attractive to the eye." In order words, the a person likes the way another person looks.
Attractive doesn't always have the same meaning in terms of looks or arousal. Attractive generally means "having the quality of attracting." It could mean that a person can have an attractive personality or an an attractive mind or anything which may have an attraction towards you. Whatever it may mean is usually up to the person using the term at the time. That's why it's usually not correct to come up with your own meaning for these words, especially when another person has to interpret what it may fully mean for themselves and for other people.
Chikata's definitions are very close except sexy for what i use to define those terms. Dictionaries largely fail at expressions and forms of human emotions, understanding and feeling.
Anyway , the prettiest girl in anime to me:
Feldt from Gundam 00 after timeskip
There are very different characters i would choose for the traits cute and sexy

Well as I said before, because you both use it the same way doesn't mean others use it the same way. But it's not like you would have gotten than explanation by reading what I originally put down. Again, a dictionary is not suppose to tell you how to use words in form of human emotions and expressions. That would be too easy. It's suppose to give you the word, definition and an example of it's usage in a sentence. You -- the individual -- is suppose to figure out how you're suppose to use it for yourself.

no i agree with you. i just mistook some things you said.
in that post i just meant dictionaries a bad source a stuff like because they simplify billions of different humans's ideas into a few sentences i just didn't word it well enough.There is a different view by every person likely . for example even though Chitaka's and my views are close i disagree with her interpretation of sexy so we don't match up even though we are close.
i don't think our views on how people figure out what the definition mean to them is all that different. i just mistook what you were trying to say
I still would not put Feldt up on a sexiest or cutest anime girl topic though because i don't believe she is
since i interpret them as different things even if others don't

To MissMauiJulia Since its too long to quote ur entire thing and will be too big of a post to reply to the entire thing i'll post a few general responses instead of disecting your entire reply. 1. A baby and a 9yr old boy are completely different, u wouldn't really describe a 9yr old boy as "cute" anymore so there attractive could be interpreted to mean...you know what never mind, I'm sick of arguing modern english with people who clearly don't understnd the difference between definition and usage. 2. I'll have you notice that the useage in all of those definitions you gave was different. Notice that for a cut of meat they said "beautiful" not pretty or cute. Have you EVER heard somebody describe a cut of meat as being cute? And in fact, you cant even argue definition by ur examples cuz the definitions are all different too. 3. The examples I gave are NOT the only way I know of to use those words, thats why they are examples. I cant very well list EVERY single situation in which those words can be used now can I? 4. No to answer your question I have never heard a straight person call somebody of the same sex attractive, I've only heard them use beauitiful, pretty (as in this thread) cute as in like a baby animal or something adorable not as in attractive. Or for guys complementing another guys appearance I've heard cool, good-looking, handsome, ect. but never attractive from a straight guy to another guy. 5. There's really no such thing as "correct usage" anymore in modern english (sad to say) other than the parts of speech and for verbs how well they describe the action (ex. you wouldn't say somebody is walking if they're moving at a running pace) what I mean by usage is how society would interpret and use them and the most common and widely accepted meaning of them. So i really have no idea where you're getting the idea that those are my ways of using the words because in fact I'm just listing them as I usually hear them used. Not to mention, thats also the problem with Englush itself, there's so many words and so many meanings, nothing is really correct per se, as long as it fits in the sentance while not violating grammar rules and people still know what you're talking about. If you want correct english, look up an Old English dictionary from Victorian England. And yes in fact people (especially authors) make up words all the time, look at Shakespeare, look at Dr. Seuss look at any given regional group.
Anyway though, I'm really getting bored of arguing, its unproductive, there's no cut and dry answer to this particular argument and its not the point of this thread. So back on topic:
If you want correct english, look up an Old English dictionary from Victorian England. And yes in fact people (especially authors) make up words all the time, look at Shakespeare, look at Dr. Seuss look at any given regional group.
Shakespeare really made up his own words? Such as? Also Dr. Seuss made up his own words because Seuss's books took place in a world which was Earth. It's very common for authors to make up words, items or names for something other than the norm. J.K Rowling does the same thing in Harry Potter. J. R. R. Tolkien does the same in Lord of the Rings. When you're the author of your own book, there are no rules. You can make anything up as you go along. Same thing doesn't apply in reality. I can't make up any word, give it any definition and expect people to understand what I am saying. This fit what you are trying to explain.
Also, Shakespeare used Early Modern English during the European Renaissance. Not Old English.
Also if the Old English dictionary was the correct standard then it would be the U.K. standard of English, which it isn't. Verbal auxiliaries, Transitivity, Use of tenses, Verb morphology uses dialects which originates from the Middle English Dictionary. Not the Old English. In fact, one of the reasons why no one uses the Old English dictionary anymore is because it's mixed with many different dialects such as Latin, German, Norse, Celtic. It's generally confusing because majority of these language conflict (As someone who speaks a lil German I know). I'm fairly certain you'll have a hard time finding any civilization which still uses Latin, Norse and Celtic in society so no. You're wrong about the Old English dictionary.
There's really no such thing as "correct usage" anymore in modern english (sad to say) other than the parts of speech and for verbs how well they describe the action (ex. you wouldn't say somebody is walking if they're moving at a running pace) what I mean by usage is how society would interpret and use them and the most common and widely accepted meaning of them
I'm really trying to understand what his part means and I've been saying it over and over to myself but I just don't understand what you are trying to say. What do you mean by no such thing as correct usage other than parts of speech and verbs? And how does your example correlates to anything? Can't make heads are tails of this. Could you clarify?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I pretty much get this part already. You're saying that's how other people use it; therefore; that's how I should use it. Again, that's not really up for you or society to decide. If someone really wants to describe a cut of meat as being cute or use attractive in regards to babies or children, it's not really up to you or anyone else. The term isn't wrong and there is no grammatical error. The usage of the term is correct so that deems the usage of the term in any form of conversation correct. Because society deems it inappropriate doesn't make so. In fact the only reason why society would deem it inappropriate is because most people in society have very limit vocabulary. Don't know why I'm still explaining this. I guess it's because I enjoy repeating myself.

And I have to use the term beautiful when describing objects not cute or pretty. Pretty much nonsense like that. It's all stupid anyway because what I deem cute might be different for another.
