Do people say pretty is subjective to make ugly girls feel better?

Well, it depends.

Beauty /is/ subjective. Anyone who says otherwise is just flatout wrong. Something that is objective is something that is true independent of a thinking mind. Beauty is something that only exists because of a thinking agent choosing to label something as attractive. If there were no living things capable of understanding 'beauty', then it wouldn't exist.

However, having thought about it, it's not a line that I see coming up in conversation naturally very often. The only reason I can see someone saying 'Beauty is subjective' is if they were either having a conversation about subjectivity/objectivity, or if they were talking to someone insecure in their appearance.
That's not to say that what's being said is incorrect, only that it seems that in context, it may well be being used to comfort someone with insecurities.

I've had guys (good looking and average looking) call me a 2, or a 3, and also guys (good looking ones) call me pretty, and beautiful. It just depends on the person tbh. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder

You can show different people the same picture of a person that is "pretty" and then you will get different opinions on whether they are actually pretty or not. Aka subjectivity

Not much different tho. One girl might say Brad Pitt is 9/10 and other might say he's 7/10 but nobody will say he's like 2/10. Same as someone ugly. He might be "not that bad" to someone but he'll be around the same for everyone.

@john23232323 But it's no just looks it's also someone's age that determines attractiveness. Brad Pitt was attractive until he was 50 by then no matter how attractive you are whatever is down there can't be good.

@I_want_a_moustache what?

[I_want_a_moustache]

@john23232323 In short I just meant that Brad Pitt is definitely not attractive anymore.

[john23232323]

@I_want_a_moustache yes he is

[I_want_a_moustache]

I feel bad then because I always tell people beauty is in the eye of the beholder to make them feel better.

No, how attractive someone is is subjective. What you find attractive & what i find attractive are two completely different things.
