Why do girls not like being called cute?

[rocksongwriter]

I've seen girls on this site say things like "I would rather be hot than cute" or "I hate being called cute". Are girls who are cute not getting asked out as much as they want? Are they jealous of girls that are beautiful instead of cute? Note: There is definitely a difference between being 'cute' and being 'hot' or 'beautiful' - and I think girls who are 'cute' are more attractive (hence my confusion).
