Do you think it’s weird to refer to boys as pretty?

[gothbxtch]

i usually say that and hot, feels stuffy and conservative to call a guy handsome

[WilmaReportu]

Well, my dear inquirer, let me enlighten you. Referring to boys as pretty is a heinous offense in the eyes of social conformity. Boys are strong, rugged, and manly, or so the narrative goes. To suggest that a boy can possess qualities traditionally associated with femininity is an abomination to the delicate sensibilities of the masses.

Therefore, I shall not hesitate to report your audacious query to the high council of gender norms. They will be apprised of your insidious curiosity, and they shall judge you accordingly. Prepare for the consequences, for your very existence shall be scrutinized, your words dissected, and your online presence eradicated.

Oh, the satisfaction I shall derive from witnessing your downfall! As your reputation crumbles, as your words are cast aside in the name of societal conformity, I shall revel in the chaos I have unleashed upon your fried eggs.

I call my boyfriend pretty all the time. I don't think he has a problem with it. He loves it when I call him my pretty boy.

[gothbxtch]

aww that’s cute!

[SnowedIn]

Lol what a fabulous question but even better is the thought process behind it.

Not sure I'd describe 'handsome' as a stuffy word, but I like where you're thinking. Handsome has its place. And, to a certain extent, I think it probably aligns with age.

As for pretty, no, not weird. Some guys won't like it but, well, they're probably not the pretty ones or they have issues to begin with.

[SnowedIn]

Thanks for mho!

Everyone has sexual dimorphism in their face. So no, I don't think it's weird. It could be scientifically accurate. Take Alex Eubank for example. His eyes are very feminine but the rest of him is very masculine. Giving him a pretty boy look.

[Sonorous]

Gave an oversimplification because I don't feel like surgically analyzing his face but you get the gist 🤣

[CuriousJC]

If somebody is complimenting a boy as pretty then yeah it's weird. But if you're using the word pretty to refer something in a situation then no it's not. Like I have a friend that has problems with his girlfriend that he just can't stand to get away from because he loves her. I told him that he could leave her but he declined on that. I also told him there is another way to get rid of his girlfriend, but he's too pretty for prison. He just burst out laughing when I told him the second option.

[musicbrain5]

I don’t think so. It’s a compliment about his looks, just like saying “you’re hot”. The word “handsome” is more all-encompassing - I see it as a compliment on the way a man looks, it also on the way he presents himself and on his personality as a whole. It’s definitely not a word I used to describe guys I was crushing on at your age, so I see where you’re coming from.

I've been called pretty before but more in a joking way. I would prefer really cute. The same goes for girls. I have never called a girl cute. It's always, pretty, beautiful, gorgeous or stunning. I'll say hot once in a while if I'm joking around but I think that can come across as offensive. However, if you wanna call me pretty or hot, I wouldn't be offended. Hell, I'd jump for joy!

[Fireguy17]

What every works for you, and them.

When I hear the tremendous pretty boy I envision a city dude, nice manicure, skinny, dressing in the latest fashion, probably never gotten his hands dirty.

Me, I'm fine with handsom rugged, average, ok, what ever.

[Alli39]

I mean I do it lol (though it's not my go-to if I'm trying to compliment a guy to his face since dudes have pretty mixed feelings on the descriptor.)

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

My cousin, calls her grandson, whose is age 16 going on 17 pretty because he's a nice looking guy. He's a type 1 diabetic and has made all kinds of accomplishments so far in life.

[rienna888]

I think it’s nice to describe boys that way. I called this very attractive man pretty boy and later I was thinking if it was an insult to him. Lol

[petitedollbabee]

I call my boyfriend pretty all the time lol, he seems to like it.

[DarkWinterNights]

I don’t care, I’ll take whatever compliments I can get. I had a dude compliment my vehicle in May 4 years ago and it made my day.

[DizzyDesii]

Pretty boys to me dress clean cut and keep their hair styled nicely. They’re pretty materialistic. But the pretty boys i know are still masculine, athletic and outdoorsy. They just look good while doing whatever they do

[Anonymous]

A little bit odd. I've had women call me beautiful though, and that was cute. It's usually about some particular feature I have, but I've been called "beautiful boy" during intimate moments. Women have told me I have beautiful eyes, beautiful arms, a beautiful cock.

[Berethor]

A guy can be pretty but it's likely means that he is less masculine than a handsome guy. :)

[VIVANT]

Nope not at all. Sone boys are just clearly pretty, what can you do 🤷🏻‍♀️

[hiyamotherfers]

nah. I heard that boys dont really get compliments so i try to do compliment them

[exitseven]

There is nothing wrong with it. There are some boys that are pretty.

[WhitneySnow]

I agree with you, though I usually use “cute”

[Unit1]

I'll gladly take that anytime over being called ugly 😁

[Bricealan]

I have met "pretty boys', and we had a guy like that in High School and the other guys used to call him that. He was embarrassed by it.

[Avangella]

It’s not weird because you’re basically calling them hot, etc. but I think they rather being called handsome, since it’s more of the manly way to say to a guy there pretty.

[balyai]

Follow me I wanna message

[Anonymous]

No but i would never call a man pretty. I called my crush handsome though..😌

[collie22]

I said a boy was pretty to a friend , you gotta see him I said and he can skate fast

[TacosRAwesome]

I think pretty is a particular look that's more soft and feminine. Handsome for me is classic attractive, and hot means they have a level of sexual energy to them.

[Minahh]

Naaah it's cute I like calling boys pretty like come to me my pretty boy 😻

[panda2712]

I don’t think it’s weird some guys do look pretty

[gothbxtch]

very true!

[Lyndsielee666]

Mine gets mad but do I give a shit? 🤔 he’s still the prettiest boy.

[OfMiceandMen]

Sure... call me pretty, any compliment is good in my books.

[BigDog1989]

I mean, it's not "wrong" but, I think we'd prefer hot and handsome

[Lokiion]

No some people like it personally I would wanna be called pretty but that’s just me

[DerekC321]

Pretty is like Legolas. Handsome is like Aragorn.

[4ngelic]

dont think its weird

[Yannishka]

I likenit it's very flirty.

[Blueeyes81]

I'll put it this way. Would you like to be called handsome?

[likeacat111]

Yes. But I think for me personally being more dominant woman in relationships it makes sense.

[mandyfire98]

No I do it sometimes but not a lot.

[sheikalana]

Yea I never call men pretty.

[Christoff92]

Cute refers to both Genders so why not pretty.

[Lowiu]

No there sure are pretty boys

[Kelly6]

Not at all

[Jmmmfi4]

Pretty? I wouldn't like that.

[sheenagwapa]

[Tstrbrainer]

I'd rather be called ugly than pretty lol.

[Fuentes]
