When I'm talking to girls and they ask me what I think of a certain girl, I don't wanna say something like "she's hot" so I say "she's pretty," is this weird? :P

I'd always say pretty over hot whenever I'm talking about someone I know.

Nah, not really. Just make sure you're not calling a girl "handsome".

No, and girls really like it when guys say they look pretty more often than they say they look hot.

As long as your tone remains heterosexual, then it's fine.

No...Women find that alot more flattering then hot, The Women I know find that degrading. Then again if your just talking to your friends it really doesnt matter.

I'd say no. It's a pretty respectable, to the (classy) point, term. But it really depends on the audience. I have (female) friends who wouldn't take offense to just about anything I say. Just consider the audience.

But, honestly, if you can't say "pretty", the issue is probably more to do with self esteem on their end then on yours. If, however, we are stretching this, and you're using other forms of that term, it may be on your end. "pretty" is acceptle term....."hot" on the other hand is situational (never use that term in front of your girlfriend, unless you're refferring to her) :D.

I think most girls prefer to be called "pretty" as opposed to "hot" anyways, and giving a respectful compliment isn't weird at all. I'm always seriously flattered when someone says something like that to me.

If girls ask me what i think of the way that another girl looks and the girl in question is a looker, i'd say "she looks great" or "she knows how to dress well to look good". When i'm with my girlfriend though i tell her all the time that she's so pretty and she loves it when she knows i appreciate her.

Hmmm, I don't think so... Pretty sounds classier than hot.

Nothing weird bout that, I think it's a better adjetive to describe a girl than "hawt". That's of course, if the girl is pretty, if the girl is hot then she's hot man, you can't call a hot girl "pretty" that's just....weird.

I don't know why anyone would think that, as the word "pretty" is a completely acceptable word. Only someone wanting to play a really odd fad would hate on a word like pretty.:?

Last time I checked, the word "pretty" wasn't considered a past fad, it's still as usable as it ever was.:P
