	I always wonder why 'sightly' is synonymous with pretty. We don't say food is tastely, music is hearly, or fuzz is touchly

	I know plenty of people who are photogenic, but not all that pretty. Not the same thing.

	Good idea, but no. Only "lovely" could truly be called a synonym of "pretty". The other words all have distinct connotations and/or shades of meaning that render them something more, or else, than mere synonyms for what is already a pretty (har har) capacious but generic term. To wit: "GORGEOUS" is an inherently theatrical, ostentatious word, and implies something more fulsome than "pretty". ------------ "PLEASING" is better than "unpleasing", but it's hardly up to the level of "pretty". ------------- "ATTRACTIVE" is nearly synonymous, but it's an even less effusive, less complimentary term than the already vanilla "pretty". ---------- "LOVELY" is a synonym, a quaint but still elegant version of "pretty". ------------ "HANDSOME" is apposite to pretty, but not entirely. A man could be called "pretty", of course, but there's usually an element of scorn or derision implied; a "handsome" woman is, of course, NOT pretty, almost by defintion. ---------- "APPEALING" is more a commentary on the effect the subject has on the viewer than on the inherent "attractiveness" of the subject herself. Not really a synonym of "pretty", then. ---------------- "FETCHING" begins to take us in a direction more earthy and insinuative than the mild "pretty" would ever go. ------------------- "PHOTOGENIC" does not necessarily mean "pretty", or even "attractive", as has been pointed out above. ------------------ "BEAUTIFUL" seems (at least) a step beyond "pretty". Most beautiful faces are pretty; very few "pretty" faces attain true beauty. --------------- "STUNNING" is far more corollary to "beautiful" than it is to "pretty". We are taken aback by the "stunning", while the "pretty" merely pleases us. ----------- "COMELY" describes a presentable person, not a pretty one. The word has much more to do with grooming, or even hygeine, than it does with aesthetics. -------------- A "KNOCKOUT" has qualities that a merely "pretty" person is unlikely to possess. A "RAVISHING" appearance goes well beyond th
