Do you mean adorable cute or attractive cute?

Adorable Cute:
-Small, Furry animals in general
-3 year old kids when they smile (not the times when they're screaming o.o)
-Eskimo kisses
-Puffy cheeks

Um..I think fuzzy things are kawaii...but a lot of other people would just call that "kinky" or something. Lace and lots of soft pinks are cute to me.

Cute? like sister cute? I guess it would be like this little girl who lives by meh she is just funny to play with. Well she is 12 but still childish to me, she is always carring her little kitty around in her mouth like she sees on tv Ahahahaha!!! always cracks me up ^O^.

Then there is woman cute I guess like Pigtails and cute smile, Someone who is always doing funny things or talks good but is shy. Shy girls are cute.


I'm not racist . . . I hate everyone equally.

Cuteness is usually characterized by (though not limited to) some combination of infant-like physical traits, especially small body size with a disproportionately large head, large eyes, a pleasantly fair, though not necessarily small nose, dimples, and round and softer body features. Infantile personality traits, such as playfulness, fragility, helplessness, curiosity, innocence, affectionate behavior and a need to be nurtured are also generally considered cute.

Konrad Lorenz argued in 1949 that infantile features triggered nurturing responses in adults and that this was an evolutionary adaptation which helped ensure that adults cared for their children, ultimately securing the survival of the species. As evidence, Lorenz noted that humans react more positively to animals that resemble infants—with big eyes, big heads, shortened noses, etc.—than to animals that do not.

That is, humans prefer animals which exhibit pedomorphosis. Pedomorphosis is the retention of child-like characteristics—such as big heads or large eyes—into adulthood. Thus, pedomorphosis and cuteness may explain the popularity of Giant Pandas and Koalas. The widely perceived cuteness of domesticated animals, such as dogs and cats, may be due to the fact that humans selectively breed their pets for infant-like characteristics, including non-aggressive behavior and child-like appearance.

Some later scientific studies have provided further evidence for Lorenz's theory. For example, it has been shown that human adults react positively to infants who are stereotypically cute. Studies have also shown that responses to cuteness—and to facial attractiveness generally—seem to be similar across and within cultures.[1]

Additionally, the phenomenon is not restricted to humans. The young of many mammal and bird species share a similar set of typical physical proportions, beyond absolute body size, that distinguish them from adults of their own species. "Cute" features were also described in the recent finding of a baby Triceratops skull, suggesting that cuteness is an ancient and useful survival technique.
