Of temperature ;

Hot.

excerpted from

" XX rainbow matters "

A word very commonly used to describe women. Obviously not any woman, but then again, used much too often if you ask me. Unless it’s a passing comment, an enquiry from a male friend about a female friend the first has never seen or an adjective in a men’s mag Top 100, this might spark a long discussion over the semantics of this seemingly simple word.
It is oh-so necessary to a) differentiate between hot and cute (and also pretty, beautiful, attractive, etc) and b) know what the word means to y o u before throwing it around. Yes, it is.
From a simplified viewpoint, hot is supposed to be pretty straight-forwardly directed to anything sexual: advertising, men’s magazines, action movie heroines (not about too much depth, those ones), porn, and so on. So when describing someone as hot, it would ideally indicate sexual interest. From then onwards, it’s a matter of personal taste - added perks of big breasts, excess show of skin, leather and latex, facial expression or pose can all make someone seem hot-TER. As opposed to beautiful, which indicates aesthetic pleasure in watching or seeing someone, or cute, which opens a whole new semantic field, swaying towards playful or even child-like – thus arousing more nurturing sensations, rather than sexual ones.
In lay(wo)man’s terms: Hot you wanna bang, cute you wanna cuddle.

excerpt -
[ Now, as far as I was concerned, I had one scorned ex, who never wanted to admit my girl-staring was for something more than just womanly envy…and another crazy ex who just wouldn’t stop sending me love poetry. And that was that.

As those blew over, I closed my Big Book of India. The metal head and I got back on speaking terms, and me and the Colleague still keep in touch. ]
