+1 yI agree. My boyfriend is always trying to get me to get my nails done... Because he think it looks better. I disagree with him I think fake claws look stupid. I prefer my natural nails. Not only are the fake ones unattractive but they don't seem realistic either. Too long and I'm not sure how girls wipe their ass without cutting themselves 😅

Correct.

If your boyfriend is asking you to get them done, maybe he has a fetish for it and you should try it out more often. Fake claws can look really elegant when done correctly. And they aren’t sharp unless you want them to be. Lots of women have long nails all the time and function entirely normally. My wife for example.

The hygiene issue is not mutually exclusive with long nails. Lots of people don’t wash their hands and spread germs. I would argue that more people have short nails than long nails and disease is still spread constantly because people are dirty and don’t wash their hands properly. I’ve witnessed countless men in the men’s restroom walk out of the restroom without washing their hands. My wife has witnessed countless women also not wash their hands after using the restroom. So in other words, people can be dirty with our without long nails, it depends on the individual.

Nails are not done to keep a man nor captivate him but a liberation from being controlled.
Fashion designers and artists lend their concept to the fluidity of limbs and curves not to its sexual appeal solely, but to its geometric proportions.
Theoretically it can go on but why stop at this length? People are complex and your mind is infinite. If some chose to express it, know you are dealing with an amazing emotional and sincere individual.
Why do they spend money on it? simply because they earn it or have such luxury.
like you have the luxury of time to write about this in length , they use it in another way.
whilst it’s too unattractive what you posted, it’s a great outlet for some who want to test their artistic mind control and manual dexterity on a cognitive plane.
As they are temporary it says nothing about a woman being a skank or tragedy averted. Tragedy is actually averted if you know you are talking to a woman who agrees to everything you say.
I see however women do not post such insults and ask for members to vote against a certain physical aspect of men.
It’s sad to know some associate nail length to being a skank.
why are such trivial aspects a determination of someone’s personality?

Interesting reply.

Geez. Your comment sounds like you are writing a dissertation on the topic. And yes, appearances can give an accurate assessment of someone's personality. I have worked with too many women with nails like these and they are usually too preoccupied with silly things like their manicures to care about being productive. And they are gross and horrible for the environment. Equally, I judge men who buy race cars. Another silly unnecessary product.
+1 yI'm 100% with you on this one. I have never seen a single girl who didn't look like a fucking witch with those types of nails. Don't get me wrong, I like it when girls paint their nails. But they've gotta be real, and they can't be any longer than like this:

Strongly agree. Big turn off. I have a thing for nails and nail polish on girls. So I check them out when I ride the train or bus. And seeing these long fake nails with weird designs really turns me off. Why can't girls just take care of their natural nails?

21 ReplyAbsolutely! I don't know why some women seem to think that men find attractive. I suppose some of them might, but definitely not the mass majority. most guys actually have a Hollywood phobia that some woman with sharp long nails will scratch their eyes out if he pisses her off. It's also really tacky, and shows either some degree of self-consciousness over their natural physical traits, or really bad sense and judgment when it comes to fashion. Either way not really a good thing.

Yeah, true... and some people like stupid things.

I agree, but you can't help if you like something and no one should be made to feel bad out it. One person not liking something doesn't make it stupid. Have you seen some Balenciaga sneakers? I think they look pretty horrible and they're also expensive AF, but some people obviously feel the need to buy them or did anyway, as well as any designer brand t-shirt, simply because it's 'Gucci' or something.

Nope. They can't.
+1 ydepends on the type of nails - personally, I don't like really long ones but each to their own. however, a short almond is cute, esp with a French tip. the examples are quite possibly the worst acrylics I've ever seen. plus they help some people who bite their nails. acrylics are also not as unsanitary to the everyday person as y'all r making it out to be. I love shorter, more natural looking acrylics and the way they make my hands look clean and cared for. acrylics look cleaner than natural nails period.

10 ReplyIf you're that biased about girls wearing acrylic nails I understand I feel the same way about specific nail types. The fact that critically judge and if you know who wears them only shows how close-minded you are. On a broader scope of things if you claim that all acrylic nails are ugly when will it be the same if all tattoos on guys are ugly, don't get me wrong the ratio is different but the aspect is still the same

Nah, they can look good sometimes. You can get a more natural look that basically just looks like you’re wearing nail polish. I do think that the very overdone or pointy ones look bad though.

Right but then why not simply have regular nails... with polish
- +1 y
There’s are quite a few reasons. When done right, they’re really good for women with brittle nails and can protect them. They’re also really good for people trying to break the habit of biting their nails because they can’t chew on the acrylics. Most of the people I know that get them actually use them for the second reason I gave.
