This is such an overblown issue online tbh. I agree with two people here: yes, it's damn weird if a guy uses it constantly, in like every context. However, a lot of the time it's just being used completely innocuously, as a general adjective. As with most things, context is key, it's not an automatic "yikes" every time.
