What makes something cute?

A laughing baby, a floppy and clumsy puppy, a cartoon character with big ol’ eyes. You don’t need us to explain what “cute” means—you know it when you see it. But what is it about a baby or a puppy or big eyes that makes them cute? Why are they cute? Why isn’t a tarantula cute? (Though, hey, some people probably think they are!)

Well, researchers and scientists are still figuring it out, but they have some pretty compelling ideas. First is the theory that cuteness = infant-like. Big eyes are cute because babies have big eyes they’re still growing into. Chubby cheeks are cute because babies have chubby cheeks. With this theory, cuteness is an evolutionary trait that makes us want to protect our young. We see our babies as cute, and so we want to take care of them. Then, we start finding those infant-like traits in other things, like the big forehead of a puppy, or the youthful cut of a dress.

In fact, when you look at something cute, your orbitofrontal cortex, the part of your brain responsible for pleasure and emotion, snaps to attention. Cuteness is a biological response, not just an emotional one!

So it’s not hard to see why so many people want to be “cute,” and why cuteness is a big factor in everything from toys to the fashion industry. We have a powerful response to things we find cute, so powerful that we might just drop some cash on a cute outfit or a cute keychain, because it makes us feel good, like we need to protect it. And some people will change their personality to emulate that cuteness.

Of course, there are other definitions of “cute.” Often, we say someone is “cute” to mean they’re attractive, but not necessarily in a sexy or hot way, just that they look nice, clean, youthful, friendly, unintimidating. It’s still related to “infant-like” maybe, but we don’t mean someone is literally like a baby, just that they have a certain je ne se quoi that makes us think of comfort, safety, and innocence.

So, are you cute? Do you want to be? That’s for you to decide.
