Wow, does nobody have a sense of humor? How about giving her a big grin and saying, "Let's get naked and I'll let you know?" Then there's always pretty smart, pretty sweet, or if you want to get rid of her, pretty stupid.
Asking casually any men you meet if they think you are pretty is in fact kind of weird. I would not advise a woman to do it, it reeks of low self esteem. I can't recall the last time a woman has asked me if she were attractive to my eyes or not.
I'm not talking about casually asking anyone. I'm talking about someone you have gotten comfortable talking to after a while.
It's a normal feminine behavior now getting forgotten in the USA. Probably not appropriate for very formal environments, but good for friendly ones. Men, open your eyes, there still are many beautiful women around, go encourage them to stay this way! Dames, don't be jealous. If you don't have a nerve to ask it, go back to your dressing room and change your clothes, hairdo, makeup or all of them together.
And, the question was about whether or not men mean "no you aren't" when they answer "that she's "nice looking", instead of "Yes, you're pretty"", or are they just scared to admit that she is because of potential harassment accusations (obviously from others, not from the woman who asked).
I personally think it's weird, but I hear that it it happens a lot. If a woman asks a guy if he think she is pretty and he tells her that she's "nice looking", instead of "Yes, you're pretty", is he indicating something else? They say guys are simple, and not complicated. If they were so simple, why dodge such question? That's what I want to understand.
Men have been trained very hard against sexual harassment, and it is drilled into them to a point they are afraid to say much.
Now, If it is his fiancee, or wife, they have more problems than can be solved here!
Most every way to ask is a recipe for disaster unless it is two people who know each other and its done in a playful teasing way - as in, the woman knows the man has vested interest in you and it is done to prompt foreplay.
Woman: "Am I pretty?" with a flirtful gaze
Man (in a preposterous French or Euro accent): "You are more than pretty you are a cornucopia of fruitful delight and now I vant to consume you" (low growling sounds emitted)
Sort of like the inspiration for Warner Brothers "Pepe le pew" character.

I've got to use that one! Thanks!
