You ever notice people act like "pretty boys" or dudes with admirable features are referred to as if they are effeminate or weak?

Having a strong jawline and brow ridge means you're more masculine, whereas having weak jawline (typical guy that says pretty boy) are the inverse

Just something I thought of that never made any sense :russ:

I think it’s more so the light skin vs dark skin sh. Plenty of dark skin men with strong jawline and hunter eyes that are deemed as very masculine in hollywood’s eyes.

Also depends on how you carry yourself, your build etc.

People call The Rock and Jason Mamoa pretty boys despite them being Giants. It's all because the face, and to put it bluntly, nikkas are jealous and think its "emasculating" them.:yeshrug:

Being a pretty boy doesn’t mean you’re necessarily handsome or have masculine features. Plenty of good looking, handsome dudes aren’t pretty. And plenty of “ugly” dudes are pretty boys. :yeshrug:

I don't think it's that deep actually.

When most people say "prettyboy" they just mean that the guy is good looking.

And the biggest proof against this claim:

Pretty boys even refer to themselves as pretty boys.

I see A LOT of these guys call themselves that. Why would they be emasculating themselves?

Quick type in pretty boy on instagram and look at all the suggestions.

I have absolutely, positively never heard anyone refer to those two as pretty boys. :mjlol: Theyre definitely handsome nh, but in a rugged, masculine way. Pretty boy is more like Kelly Oubre or Kyle Kuzma. Basically, if you threw a wig and some makeup on them, they could pass for women.

Being "ugly" or having "ugly" features always worked for me since a youngin :yeshrug: you realize early on that bytches like you being "ugly" because there is something about you that stands out to them

like a birthmark or scar on your face they find shyt like that cute :yeshrug:
