Can you call handsome men pretty?

[Anonymous]

If a guy is handsome, can you call him pretty or cute instead of handsome. Lots of girls call handsome men pretty. So...

I deeply prefer more original compliments (especially if they show keen observation) but "pretty" isn't one of them. That might give me a complex where I'd feel the need to grow out a beard or something. 😂

That would not be grammatically correct. Yes it if fine to call a man cute though but not pretty.

Using the word smart would be more appropriate.

I called a man beautiful and he blushed.


It was the most adorable interaction. ❤️

You may if you want to but I don't think that's how they'd like to be described.

I wouldn't consider being called pretty a compliment. I usually get called masculine or manly. Pretty is a downgrade

Always beats being called ugly/unattractive/average.
