Why the 1-st is for men only, but the 2-nd - exlusively for women?

That's not quite true, actually)
Handsome can be used when talking about women with masculine features, or just a woman that looks strong and healthy.
This is how we speak about someone's beauty and good looks (information is taken from Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English:
beautiful is used to describe someone, usually a woman or child, who is attractive in a very special and noticeable way.
pretty is usually used to describe a girl or woman who is good-looking, with regular features. It can also be used to describe a boy or young man who has an attractive but feminine face.
handsome is usually used to describe a man or boy who is good-looking, with strong regular features. It can also be used to describe a woman, usually an older woman, who has attractive but masculine features.
good-looking can be used to describe anyone who you think is nice to look at.
attractive is used to describe someone who looks good in a way that attracts sexual interest

'Handsome' - for woman, who has attractive but masculine features.
I would like to look at some famous patterns.

OK.
Can you give me a pattern of 'beautiful man'?
Not John Christopher «Johnny» Depp, if it possible.

Well, some people say that "a beautiful man" may refer to a man with model features... maybe young (!) Leonardo DiCaprio?

I'm not a great expert at male supermodels, but I bet some of them are considered beautiful)) by the way, google offered me a website called "Most Beautiful Man" with many pictures of attractive men ::), which once again proves that this word may refer to both men and women.

If he is a beautiful man, then I'm Pope Francis.
By the way, is he beautiful man or handsome man? Have you got some paper of his sexual orientation?
-
If he is a beautiful man, then I'm Pope Francis.
That is why I emphasise the word "young", you know)
I think that the choice of adjective here is a matter of personal taste rather than a linguistic issue). But I'd rather call him handsome. Maybe other forum members would express a different opinion on the subject, that'd be great).

Btw,the word handsome could be also used by the description of an animal or an object
A building that is handsome looks attractive in an impressive way: a row of handsome Georgian houses.
A handsome tiger.

I wonder, DAS, what you mean by mixed feelings as far as this photo is concerned when it is placed into the branch "Handsome & Beautiful".

The title of the branch is "handsome and beautiful". What mixed feelings are you overwhelmed with, DAS? Who is not attractive enough from your point of view?
