What do guys want on girls: Long or short nails? Painted or not?

[Anonymous]

Guys, what's your preference?

If painted, what color do you usually prefer, vibrant or natural colors?

[Lliam]

I'm not a fan of long nails or especially fake nails. Nail polish is nice. It can be changed to suit the outfit or occasion. Some colors are grotesque, though, and I really don't like gaudy decals, designs, glitter or multi colors. Clear is best, but red can be sensational in some circumstances. I prefer well groomed and elegant.

Short and natural.

I prefer a woman who isn't "dolled up", who can hard dirty work along with me.

Great question! As a male in his 40s I really love and appreciate a woman who has really soft and nice hands and beautiful nails. I like medium to longer (pics 1 and 2 for sure). Love reds, pinks, neutrals, french, etc. Vibrant is nice on occasion. I'm really not picky. I appreciate that she gets her nails done and I love backscratches too. Hehe. Thanks!

I want long nails, as in- stilettos, they look better because longer fingers generally look better.
Stubby or chubby fingers aren't very appealing.

That being said, they better not be square or squoval, only psychopaths wear those.

For me what ever she likes. Are her nails at the end, but if I had to choose I'ld say that the first look perfect (not to long or short, and not to painted or unpainted)

Healthy hair and nails are signs of good fertility. Men are attracted to them, because physical attraction is a reproductive trait.

I don't really care, how ever she wants. As long as they aren't witch-like long.

Short natural nails with red nail polish, as do most guys, I hate fake nails.

We don't give that kind of thing much thought. Long nails pretty though. French tips. I don't really like the way squared off nails look.

Short, but longer than mine.

I'd like if she'd use nail polish for certain situations. But keep them normal in general

[MarkinTex]

Short and natural, painted fingernails don't do much for me, and long nails gross me out. I do think it's cute though when my wife gets her toenails painted, but I wouldn't call it a preference.

Shorter nails, other than that men could not care less about the color.
