I'd want to stay away from an Asian man for this one, mainly to keep Bishounen from rearing its...well, not-so-ugly head.

Duck: My initial response was a bit flippant, sorry. :/
In general I think cute is rounder and softer. (I cite Generic Cuteness as an eyewitness!) Pretty is... well, 'slender', 'slight', and 'fine', according to the page. 'Delicate' would be another adjective, I think.
Tony Curtis has some pretty traits, but he mostly strikes me as an iron nose and browline padded all over with soft, cushy-looking pillows. :3 Based on how much Janet Leigh seems to be enjoying his cheek, I think she agrees.

Well, I disagree. My point was that cute has to do with either, as you say, rounder characteristics, but also more basic and inherent, rather than a refined exterior. I think cuteness has more to do with flaws, such as a kid trying to be stylished, but fails due to just being too small lack certain qualities that completes the style. However, I still think cute and pretty can overlap, since they're both fairly wide descriptive terms, and they do have an overlap.
Also, I want to emphasise that this trope isn't just the Western equivalence of Bishōnen, and that the slender ideal isn't the only thing that qualifies. Thus, I think it's better to have an image that isn't bishy.
It can still be purely about looks as well.

Check out my fanfiction!That's the problem with using words to describe both personality and appearance. :/ I'm only talking about his appearance.
I don't suggest an image that is 'bishie'. I do think, however, that the image should align with the Pretty Boy page description.
ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NOPlease don't argue. Of course the image should align with the Pretty Boy page description. Okay, nothing Asian, how about James
◊?
I'm going to argue against that, since he doesn't inspire any feelings of prettiness for me.
Oh, sure, now you agree with me.

ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NOI think there is at least one objection to each suggestion, but it is not true that nobody likes anything. Also, more people vote on crowners than post comments in threads.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Okay, I added everything that wasn't Chase or Asian. The first Legolas pic wouldn't load for me.
Edit: I added Prince Edward from Enchanted because I think there should be more drawn pictures.

I added one I think you missed.
Of the two that are leading right now I think I favour Leo over Legolas, if only to make it clear that not all Pretty Boys are Long Haired Pretty Boys.
ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NOHere you go.
◊ This version is flipped from the one on the crowner, to help the focus of the page if it's chosen.
@ 42 Noaqiyeum - You're right. There should be a difference in the picture between this and Long-Haired Pretty Boy. Let's go with a short(er) haired one.
Edit: I like Ezra Miller but he is Asian, isn't he? We do want to stay away from Bishounen.

Crown Description:
Nominations for replacement images:

I think the best of those are Gregory and Ezra, especially Ezra. It seems like an Asian would actually be best. Maybe from Mulan
◊. When choosing an image it is important to keep in mind the adjectives.
