Can tall girls be 'cute' too?

ok well im 5' 8 and i feel like im always "hot" "pretty" "beautiful". and my short friends are always "cute" or "adorable". why cant i be "cute"? i dress pretty conservative i dont show much cleavage but i do wear like daisy duke type shorts. i dont drink smoke or swear. i have a bubbly voice and personality. im like the funniest person i know. i cheerlead play soccer and volley ball. like it seriously bothers me when guys say "your not cute, your hott" why cant i just be both? im pretty good looking to be honest and i have a great personality and scene of humor and im only rude to people i dont like, and i try my hardest not to judge a book by its cover. idk like in my opinion im like pretty amazing. :) (im NOT conceited, and i dont think im better than anyone. i just really like who ive grown into. p.s. im 16)
