Im sick and tired of guys treating me like a little girl. They call me cute, are constantly saying "aaawwwww" whenever I do or say anything, and call me princess and sweetie pie. I am 18 years old! Granted I look young but I am not a little child anymore! Im not saying I want to be sexy or even hot. I just dont want to be labeled "Cute" anymore! How can I go from baby face cute to attractive without becoming slutty? (link)

I've known many girls/women who feel the same way you do.
You know what? Those "guess your age" things at amusement parks... they refuse to believe that my wife is 20... much less the fact that she's 30. A few years ago, we went to a concert... she was pregnant with our 2nd... they carded her. She went car shopping - I stayed home with our child, and her mom went with her during that same pregnancy... her thoughts were, "oh great, they're going to think I'm some pregnant teen trying to get a car on mom's credit..." The other day, she was thrilled that someone actually thought that she looked around 20... usually they guess 16.
It used to really, really annoy the crap out of her. She doesn't mind it so much anymore. ;)
Part of the whole "cute" this is how you project yourself... now, I'm not saying you should beat up a few guys and bite people at random, but well... that might fend off the cute stigma...
...yes, I'm kidding... please, don't bite people...
You might consider different hair styles? I don't know how much makeup you wear if any at all, but if you do wear some, try going without. Scowl more often... (again, moslty kidding)... but maybe think about your facial expressions - I'm not saying "change everything about you" but it might be that some of your habits "add" to the cute-factor you have going for you...
If you really want to drive people nuts, though... every time you're referred to as cute, ask if you should pee on their rug since that's what puppies do... or make bark at them, or just say in a cute and endearing way, "aww... fuck you too!" with a big cheesey grin. And after a while, the think, dripping sarcastic responses you give to the whole "cute" thing might hit home... ;) (if you do this, though, please, forewarn your friends...)

Thanks a lot. :P I was cracking up laughing while I was reading your advice. It's nice hearing your wife went through the same thing and now has a sense of humor about it all. It is pretty funny the things I can get away with being that Im "cute and innocent". lol Thanks again.
