Cute attraction is a form of tertiary attraction where one finds another individual particularly cute. Usually, cuteness is found in childish individuals or those with young traits. It’s the same feeling most have when playing with or looking at a puppy or a kitty.

This type of attraction can be physical or emotional. An example of physical cute attraction is finding the appearance or clothing especially cute. An example of emotional cute attraction is finding a set of behaviors or personality traits particularly cute.

Aesthetic attraction Similar An attraction founded on another individual's physical appearance Cute attraction differs from aesthetic attraction because the individual is not necessarily visually pleasing or beautiful, and one can find another individual cute and ugly (or just not beautiful) at the same time. Another difference is that aesthetic attraction is physical, while cute attraction can also be emotional.
