Some men don’t like the word “pretty” because it can hurt their egos or cause them to be less attractive to the women they are dating. There are many reasons, but this is how one man summarized it for Prime Women.
Beautiful women are not beautiful. Beautiful women know that they are beautiful and hear it every day. Because so many people tell them, it doesn’t matter to them.
Average-looking women know that they aren’t beautiful.
Women believe that someone is looking for something if they compliment their appearance. It is best to not tell women that they are beautiful, pretty or sexy.

A Word About Beauty Standards
