I mean, I'm a gay guy, and is pretty much agree. "Pretty" is a pretty loaded term that almost by its nature implies femininity. Linguistics are weird, and while many things can be pretty, pretty and attractive aren't exact synonyms. I find men way more attractive, but there are far more women I would apply the term pretty to than are there men I would I would do the same.

Though, I wouldn't compare women to an old shoe, and frankly I'm offended by the little lesbian for besmirching my gender. We are not like old shoes!

this is some Woke Shit but I like asking friends which of these adjectives they enjoy being called:

  • cute
  • pretty
  • handsome
  • hot
  • beautiful
