You can't just say she's cute in a general sense, unless it's obvious she wants to be cute. Typically women like to be thought of as "attractive" or "beautiful" or even" f%$#ing hot" more than cute overall.

Now if she asks you how a new outfit makes her look or something similar you can say cute. It's also okay to say she looks cute today.

So to recap:
cute = good for temporary/instant/"now".
beautiful = good for general/overall/average.

I had a female friend (about 23 years old at the time) who hated being called, "cute," and preferred the term "attractive" or even better, "Beautiful."

I had a girlfriend (about 30 years old at the time) who loved being called "cute."

Generalizing women's attitudes is like playing Russian Roulette.

I've told many random women that I thought they were beautiful, and it seemed well-received each time. I have a tendency to lose propriety when confronted by certain women, so sometimes I say it without even thinking about it. I don't say it with anticipation of reciprocation or even acknowledgement really. I was once reduced to a simple "wow" when expecting to be alone in an elevator I found a beautiful woman instead. I need not say my lack of eloquence in admiration for her resulted in a slightly awkward ride.

If she is hot, make a lighthearted joke that makes fun of her, but don't overdo it.
If you gush to a super hot chick telling her how amazing she is, chances are that she will blow you off because she's heard it 1000 times before.

Dude, you copied those lines from the "how to pick up hot chicks" guide that was posted on yagt.org
