Webster defines pretty as: Pleasing or attractive in a graceful or delicate way.

Example A:
Brad Pitt= Pretty Boy
Vin Diesel= Not

Although most women find them BOTH ATTRACTIVE, Vin Diesel is not concidered "pretty".

Brad is "pretty" because he is always well groomed, stylishly dressed, and is....NOT A BRUTE.


But "pretty" in a man is a very specific thing that is not synonymous with any traits that can be learned, such as sophistication or stylishness.

One learns to be graceful and delicate (I hate those words). In the case of men, we learn our grooming habits and sense of style.

ExampleB:
Timberland Boots= A bit thuggish/rugged
Fiagaro wing-tipped lizard skin boots=stylish/pretty

I'm not emotionally invested in this debate -- just REALLY wondering when "pretty" became a state of mind. It really, really is not.

No. it's a way of life that stems from a way of thinking or in other words a state of mind.
