You have set me thinking (again). With my age and social background, I do not associate "pretty" with men. I might say that a femboy is pretty, though. I also think of "pretty" as an adjectival modifier - pretty good, pretty cheap. pretty disgusting. Enough!

I love the child soldiers but dislike that they are soldiers. I see the images of physical closeness and kissing with joy. Pretty good, Clint, pretty good.
Oh, you pretty, silly bitch…I hope you hear that with the sisterly love it is intended. I know “handsome” is more apropos for most men, but I find all the men in this particular montage P-R-E-T-T-Y. I’d love to be at their art opening. :-)
I wasn't actually refusing the word for men. I do use beautiful for either sex/gender and can use pretty, too, if I remember to drop the prior inference and extend the nuance that anybofy can be seen as pretty.
I love how personal language and word choice can be. I often have to remind myself that words like “interesting” aren’t necessarily “bad.” My mom used it to describe anything she didn’t like or understand. A good Southern woman, she could be judge-y as fuck. Don’t know where I could have learned it from. Bless her mess, I truly miss her. She was interesting. And pretty too.
A psychologist guy named George Kelly said that every person has their own connotational meaning or understanding of words. No 2 people have the exactly same meanings for the words they use. He called this theory personal constructs. He used Humpty Dumpty in Alice through the looking glass, as a prime example - 'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less.' Clint, you have already a concept of this individual meaning idea.
