Does "suggestive" mean "having a meaning"? If so, why do you ever use 'suggestive'?Why not 'meaningful' would suffice alone?

He gave her a meaningful look. (They share some secret - that the others around them are not aware of. They understand each other. She returns the same look.)

He gave her a suggestive look. (He wants to have a liaison with her. She averts her gaze and is very embarrassed.)

My problem is not 'look'. What's the difference between "certain suggestive features" and "certain meaningful features" in a picture?

Meaningful is a look that conveys a pre-understood message. Suggestive most likely conveys a message on the sexual side, perhaps even an invitation.

You should post what you mean first. Otherwise, the thread will not go where you want.

The noun does not matter.

Suggestive - suggesting something, referring to other thoughts or persons, presented partially rather than in detail, frequently of a sexual or risque nature.

Meaningful -
