It can be when the cute is all you ever hear from anyone. The kind of adult man that gets called cute regularly here in the US (I've not spent any time in other countries to really say anything about elsewhere) tend to be smaller physically. Even as teenagers, it isn't as likely for a taller, more muscled boy to be called cute.

It's one of those things where it isn't too bad by itself, but in combination with other factors it becomes less fun for the person.

Obviously, there's no hard and fast rule, people vary too much for that. But it does bother guys often enough to be a situation I've run into with friends a good bit.
