Cute Girl Complex
Don’t call me cute.
I’m 5’1, look like I’m sixteen, have a round baby face, and I even have a slight lisp. I talk louder when I get excited, I giggle and I tend to smile a lot. So, don’t get me wrong, I know where you’re coming from, I know why you might say that… kinda.
But I still don’t like it.
I’ve realized that I have a serious case of CUTE GIRL COMPLEX!!! Much like the short man has to prove he’s bigger than he looks, the cute girl has to spend a whole lotta time trying to prove she’s a grown ass woman. When people don’t see you as an adult, they try to treat you like a child. That means I spend too much time trying to show people that I AM actually old enough to buy alcohol, see that movie, or make out with that guy in the club (just kidding….ok no I’m not!).
Do you know what it’s like having someone ask your 19 year old friend if you came with her 14 year old sister?
OR trying to convince someone that you (who looks 15 when she‘s really 21) really are old enough to be dating the guy at your side (who looks like he’s 26 when he’s really 22)? Wait! Don’t call the cops!
OR standing outside the bar on your 24th birthday, cause the bouncer can’t decide if your VALID ID is a fake or not?
Well I do.
And I’m damn tired of it. So if you meet me in the street, and you just have to call me something, try one of this these adjectives instead: INTELLIGENT, SEXY, SWEET, FUNNY, HONEST, LOVING, LOYAL, BEAUTIFUL, SILLY and even a little bit FREAKY!
Cause I can be all of those things. But don’t call me cute. I might just beat your GROWN ass.

OMG... Boise, ID? I left there in the end of '03. I ESCAPED!!!
i hate being called "cute" by guys. i'm not "cute", I'm sexxy LOL.
i feel you though. i'm 26 and even though i'm 5'6", when i walk into a store or something with my 5 year old son, people think he's my little brother. in jeans and a t-shirt, i'm sometimes mistaken for a 19 year old. i don't like it sometimes but then again, i must look REALLY good for my age ;o)

I feel you lindsay-lee. When we get older (50's) we'll be looking like we are in our 30's, and I'll take the cute comments now if I can still have my youth in my old (older) age.

Damn girl...people can tell if you're "freaky" in the street...lol. I don't so much mind being called cute...well, I didn't, until I read your reasons why. Sometimes being short (5'2" here) and cute has its advantages...but then again, when I'm walking with my 3 yr.old, I hate to be mistaken for some young teenage mother.

OMG...
Same thing here.
5 foot tall 15 year old.
IT SUX!
Some girls wish they were smaller!
NOOOOOOO! You shouldn't!
Being small sucks!
The solution: Heels.
The thing is, tall girls can wear hells too.
