Add to that "good hair" (sorry) and light skin.
I'm sorry for playing the "Our Kind of People" card, but that's just what a Pretty Boy always was to me.
Everyone who is attractive isn't a pretty boy. Everyone who takes care of themselves (Jay Z) isn't a pretty boy.
But to settle this debate here and now, please post your picture (I'll also post mine for comparison sake) and we can let the general public decide if either one of us is a pretty boy (I really hope that I'm not one, lol).

I completly disagree. "Pretty", in reference to my organization, is not about cheek bones or any of that other mess. Who cares how long a person's eye lashes are? I don't get in to that. As I stated before, "pretty" is a mind set. Like Marquise stated, it can not be stolen. I have always felt that way about myself and everyone who has ever known me says the same thing. You can take an XYZ organization and put him in a suit and he will be just that. Or you can take a Kappa man, give him the same suit and he will transform that suit into something that will make anyone look twice. Much like the ladies said earlier, it's the swagger, the look, the personality that makes you "pretty"...if you don't have it you wouldn't know.
