is the word gorgeous more beautiful than pretty?

well its a higher term for something beautiful right? like ugly and hideous, hideous is like the ugliest of all the ugly

I think gorgeous sounds nicer than pretty. When you say gorgeous you could be referring to their personality as well, and gorgeous is just better overall I think.

when i hear pretty i think cute, or just passing the ugly point. when i hear the word beautiful i think of the natural beauty adn a union of the inner beauty adn outer beauty. like captivating.. when i hear the word gorgeous i think of a super model that has been in makeup and hair all day. and i know i dont look like that so if a guy says im gorgeous i know he is just trying to get in my pants. hope i helped.

the word gorgeous means a awesome and dazzling beauty

Gorgeous is much stronger than pretty if said in the right context and at the right time (and for the right woman of course ;) I find that one can say pretty to many women as a complement and they take it that way, but gorgeous is seen as a hit word and can be received badly if the lady is not interested.

Yes. I would prefer to be described as gorgeous than to be described as pretty, not that I mind both. :)

gorgeous: dazzlingly beautiful; pretty: pleasing by delicacy or grace; not imposing; now you tell me. greetings. : )

sure it's .coz u never use the word 'gorgeous' simply,without a purpose unlike 'pretty' which u can use in many contexts.

You are right. Gorgeous goes beyond pretty. Just be careful not to use this word casually. It needs to retain it's true meaning.

yes i think it is

maybe??! just read my username, maybe you'll find an answer for your question... haha!

Gorgeous is more grand than pretty. People say things and places are pretty all the time. "Look at that pretty table. It's such a pretty day. That's a pretty dress you're wearing" and etc. But gorgeous? Most people tend to reserve the use of that word so when someone does say it somehow it means more. There's a sparkle to it. Strange but true. The same goes with "stunning". Tell a woman she looks "stunning" when she's dressed to the nines and she'll melt.
