old people = cute

i don't care what you say.

The only way I can see that it would be disrespectful is because we associate the word with childish/tiny things, so it's possibly making them seem feeble. Even then that's a connotation and not what's being implied.

Old people are anything but cute.

to me, it's comparable to belittling someone by saying "aww, you're so cute", except you're doing it to a person who has experienced way more than you have.

unless you mean physically cute, in which case:

What does 'cute' have to do with 'experience'...?

In the sense of saying "you're so cute" in order to dismiss someones opinion, it means a lot

I don't think that's the tone for most people.

I do think people consider old people physically cute. Not in an attractive way though.

It's not dismissive when people say it. My girl thinks old couples are adorable.

I'm not sure about many things in life, but I am absolutely positive that nothing that landed on Iwo Jima or Omaha Beach was "cute." Show some motherfucking respect.
