Not to be mistaken for a metrosexual who generally spends a lot of time on his appearance. Although a pretty boy may spend time on his appearance he generally was always pretty - soft featured and more feminine in looks rather than having a square face and chiseled features, usually has a round or oval face. Sometimes androgenous in looks.

Pretty boy usually relates to the hair and face as it does in relation to a girl being pretty.

Get the Pretty boy mug.
A male, although not necessarily young, who is aware of and enjoys his attractive qualities and grooms himself to maintain such while paying close attention to face, physical health/fitness and apparel.

Most "pretty boys" possess a high level of self-confidence which borderlines cockiness and arrogance as well as a high sense of self-awareness most consider to be vanity.

While they tend to enjoy making people smile, spending time in front of the mirror and complimenting themselves, most do not like to be called "pretty boy" but, instead, well-groomed or well-maintenanced because the term, used as slang, has also been referenced to homosexuality:

pretty = nice looking (female)
boy = young man

pretty + boy = a boy whose looks resemble that of a female (perhaps in a pink polka-dotted dress)

Preferred terms: Well-groomed, handsome, handsome man, handsome male, well-maintained, well-maintenanced guy
LL Cool J is a pretty boy because he cares about his outer appearance, from head to toe and spends plenty of time in the mirror making sure his face and body look good.

He enjoys smiling, making other people smile and he licks his lips so much it looks like he's doing a commercial for Carmex.
