For women, they use either the words hot, cute, or handsome
For men, they use either the words hot, cute, sexy, pretty, beautiful, attractive, or knockout
Cant they just use one in general

Wouldn't just one universal name get boring.. it would loose it's flair after you've heard it a billion times.. variety is always good!

Words carry different meanings.
In English class, don't you remember connotation versus denotation?
Denotation is what the word actually means. Connotation is what we think of when we hear the word, independant of the defination.
Hot is different from sexy, although along the same nexus.
Cute and pretty could define an age (pre-teens are cute, teens are pretty).
Besides, you want a richness in your language, don't you?

For the most part it's a women thing.
when women say a guy is hot they mean a completely different thing than when they say he's cute.
It's way too hard to explain.
there are unwritten rules in the world of women that most men will never get.

hot= sexy, and just in general "hot"
hansome= more mature kind of look in a guy

considering the fact which you call your self a Desi, I take it your father and mom are Indian. i might have confidence them to make certain which they might use and it extremely is linked with which deity. while you're extremely desirous to understand which fits with Vishnu & which with Shiva, you will possibly be able to desire to continually seek for advice from a e book on Hindu deities. If i might desire to declare so, except you reside in India or in a community with many Indian households, this call would be puzzling for others to pronounce and understand. in keeping with hazard your father and mom can stumble on a reputation they like basically besides, with basically as useful a meaning yet it extremely is extra straightforward for each individual to spell and pronounce. And think of of your little brother. as quickly as he enters college he will conflict with having a reputation so unusual.
