The paper aims at examining the gendered-ness of handsome and beautiful in English collocations referring to a person. Dictionary definitions have been scrutinized in addition to native and non-native English speaking informants' responses. It has been shown that the discourse meaning of a word is not necessarily the same as its dictionary meaning. Both studies show that there are discrepancies, fluctuation, and wavering in mind and feeling. However, the core meaning of the words handsome and beautiful when referring to a person is shown to be pre- served. Both words have been proven to be gendered, beautiful to a lesser degree.
