I see so many of you saying you are attracted to pretty women. Just what is meant by this? Is it something subjective?

I am slim and petite, but I would not say I am "pretty." Rather on the plain side. I am just curious as to what "pretty" actually means.

It means different things to different people. So yes, it varies greatly from one guy to the next.

Also depends on how it's said...."Woah, she's preeeetty!" or "Meh, she's pretty."

It's subjective for me. But I'm not most men.

I'd say pretty usually means traditionally attractive facial features. In other words, a step above cute. A lot of men would not hesitate to call almost any girl cute, but reserve the term pretty.

Probably the equivalent of a woman calling a man 'good looking'. Woman usually reserve that for those guys with traditionally handsome features.

What these adjectives are ... they are really just ways to quantify general beauty.

As a man, I have been called cute a bunch, hot maybe once or twice, and handsome by my aunts and mother's friends .

I have been called good looking by platonic friends trying to pump up my ego but never by a woman who wasn't a friend.

My conclusion. I'm not the best looking guy in the world. Who cares? F@ck it. Don't spend time dwelling on what 'category' or 'tier' you fall into. Waste of time.

Totally subjective. What most people would call attractive or hot I find to be unattractive.

Plain to me is the prettiest of all.

But that being said, personality overrides everything.

I can think of several women I know who I didn't think were pretty at first, but once I got to know them, I realized how gorgeous their outsides were, too.

Then I will meet a simple, plain, pretty gal, get to know her, get turned off by her, and then she ain't pretty for nuttin'.

Why don't you just post your picture and let them have at it? It's what you really want to know.

I'm not a man but I don't care what anyone says, it's all subjective. I know a man who says he's always looked for 'cute' but looking at some of those women he considered cute, I thought some were simply beautiful, some just barely attractive. It's all in the eye of the beholder. No one person can define it for you.

Many years ago while helping a friend babysit, one little girl was sitting on my lap and looking up at me.

After a while she said to her sister "Do you wanna come sit on this one with me? Heeeeee's PREEEEE-E-ETTY!"



To the best of my knowledge, no one has considered me especially pretty since.


Conclusion, using my vast array of experiences: It's subjective.

Pretty, for me, is a woman who wears way too much make-up (although she still looks good), and she usually has an incredibly simplistic perception of everything. I'll deem many beauty pageant contestants pretty.

Pretty, cute, beautiful - they all refer to a woman about 35 years old, dark hair, dark eyes, hourglass figure, of mixed Japanese and Jewish heritage, who is a singer.

There is no one definition of what people consider pretty just like there is no one definition of what people consider funny.
