r/AskAnAmerican on Reddit: Is it true that 'gorgeous' is considered feminine and most men don't want to be called that?
April 12, 2024 -

So I'm learning English and there is this American teacher who taught us that we should avoid using the word GORGEOUS for a good-looking man, because it has a very feminine connotation and men won't like it.

But I always thought GORGEOUS was used for men too, because there is that song from Taylor Swift, 'you're so gorgeous', and I guess she is talking to a man.

Then I thought of using HANDSOME instead, but the teacher said HANDSOME is kind of old-fashioned or formal. It's not something that you would use at a bar or a nightclub. You would use HANDSOME for your father. "Father, you're so handsome".

If I can't use GORGEOUS, and I can't use BEAUTIFUL because it's for women, than I am left only with old-fashioned words like HANDSOME or formal like ATTRACTIVE?

HOT seems too sexy. CUTE is too sweet. GOOD-LOOKING sounds so... generic? An object can be good-looking too.

Beauty, and What It Means: Thoughts on a Word: Gorgeous
Few will make that same argument for gorgeous. To be gorgeous is to be exaggerated in one’s beauty: not necessarily more beautiful, but more alarming in one’s beauty. Perhaps we should be alarmed by the gorgeous, as they apparently make you drop dead (or are prone to dropping dead themselves?

Gorgeous - Definition, Meaning & Synonyms | Vocabulary.com
Beautiful is another. But reserve gorgeous for the kind of looks that take your breath away. Some synonyms include resplendent, dazzling, spectacular, and splendid. We know that the word comes from Old French gorgias, meaning "elegant," but beyond that it's hard to say for sure.
