That honestly all depends on the guy individually and his preference... Where as I care less about nail and would rather see pedicured feet. I've had friends tell me girls have to have nails cause they like their back scratched.. I think that's ridiculous, I like pampering and massaging my woman, I can scratch my back on a wall screw that noise... I just want them to be clean and neat... But the length depends on how the woman uses them during sex. For me, walking out of sex with long red lines of welts scratch into me is standard.. Bleeding a little is even ok... Walking away from sex with multiple stab wounds of nail size holes pouring blood is not ok... Therefore in the latter situation I prefer the nubby boy nails as you call them... In the former situation, I actually prefer the nails and I sport the scratches like war wounds cause other women recognize them almost as if they were a resume' and women that wouldn't even consider me before have told me they thought the scratch marks were hot and that's what made them reconsider me for the job of getting them off... I hadn't even known I had scratch marks on me, but apparently you could see them on my arms and shoulders from the front. But all this goes back to the point I made in the beginning... It mostly depends on the individual man, and then additionally depends on how the woman keeps and uses them.. Whether they are fake/real, long/short, colors/clear coat polished, nail biters/dirty underneath/unkempt/cared for but plain Jane... Anyone of those could be a red flag or turn on depending on what he is looking for and what you are looking for in a man. I've heard a guy complain that if a woman can't "color in the lines her ragged ass needs to go a salon" which again I think him and a lot of men are worried about entirely the wrong details... Ya know... Considering they are men, on that fact alone I place my priorities and deal breakers else where... Other men can be ridiculous all day, you can hook him up with a woman but you can't help a man be a man... Also for women y'all need to realize as well that the man you want and the man you need are 99.9% of the time not the same guy or even close for that matter. What you need will never be the man your father approves of. The man you want will most likely never Satisfy your cravings in bed. The man you need will take you places you don't wanna be, the man you want will eventually bore the hell out of you cause nothing will ever be unexpected and he can't satisfy those urges you keep to yourself or talk about with your girlfriend's.
There are upsides and downsides to long and short nails,
Long nails are more eye catching, don't make them really long and keep them natural, fake nails are not nice Long nails or even medium length nails easily scratch you... trust me, I know, girls who gently play fight with me, I check my arms after and the light brushes their hands made against my arms during the light play fight results in a bunch of scratch lines T_T
Short nails won't scratch you, they are completely hazard free ^_^ They are perfect for using touch sensitive devices because a long nail would make it harder. They are less easily noticed and if they are chewed off they can seem a bit unhealthy They do look nice with nail varnish due to having less on If they are short you don't need to worry as much about them snapping like with really long nails
Personally I like either short or medium length nails, that being something like this
Girl I dont do anything to my finger nails haven't in years.. found my man just as my hands are haha.. my fingers and short and stubby too..
I use to paint my nails when I was younger everytime they chipped id repaint them.. can't be bothered anymore.. not repainting them makes your hands look trashy.
Then fake nails became a trend.. tried them took them off less than a week later.. I like to be able to pick up my shit not take forever trying to.. irs annoying typing with the clicking..
My man told me that he thinks they are hideous.. he wanted a practical woman not a barbie wanna be cause nothing will ever make them happy cause no one ever achieves perfection.
So dont worry about your hands they are wonderful just the way they are! Dont need to follow the crowd just do you and what makes you happy!

I don't do anything to my nails. I never really got into it, plus I work a physical labor job that would destroy any nail job within less than an hour, so it isn't practical for me. I've also noticed my nails feel weird (thinner and weaker, almost) after I've removed nail polish, so it's worth it to me to just leave them alone. Not to mention I'm horrible at painting my own nails, lol.
I don't think my hands look like men's hands, though. I do tend to grow my nails a bit longer than most men, since I like the grip longer nails give (though they get cut as soon as they grow long enough to be hard to keep clean, or one breaks or chips).
I'm actually not a fan of overdone nails and I'm certainly not opposed to nubbies. lol I mean, I'd probably get her to stop chewing her nails (if they're short because of that - I used chew my nails years ago), but short, natural fingernails are a-okay to me! It's actually my goal to do homesteading, so manicured, perfect nails aren't going to be of any use to the kind of girl I'm looking for when we're working/digging in the dirt, transplant plants and doing all kinds of other hard work together that would break manicured nails within minutes. lol
it's ok either way. spakrly fun colorful nails are sparkly colorful and fun, but anything natural is great too... actually, i want to have sparkly fun colorful nails, ahaha.
Also, it maybe that a girl plays the guitar, violin, or other instrument which would be difficult or impossible to play properly with long/fake nails.. so that would be more important, to me.
It's something i notice more about hair. I notice that I will always give a compliment to a girl who has crazy vibrant colored hair... but i never think to compliment a girl with natural hair (although i like it the same, really).
I like a girls nail's to be a little long, but not so long that they're bizarre-looking or grotesque! And I like silver or pink nail polish, but I detest those horrible dark colors like black or purple. They make me think of monster movies. And bright red nails remind me too much of blood. One of the most erotic things a girl can do when holding hands with a guy is brush his palm gently with the edge of her thumbnail! It gives me chills... and other effects! Another thing I've read about but haven't experienced is for the girl to stand facing the guy and gently touch his bare chest with the points of her nails, pressing lightly! That sounds really stimulating to me!
Growing up, after a failed attempt at soccer (the coach didn't cheer when I scored and I was excellent at holding grudges for tiny things), I did various martial arts up until uni.
This also means that pretty much everyone I knew from those groups had very short nails, although typically still well kept since you would actually show your nails prior to some events.
Anyway, nails always struck me as something girls do for themselves or to impress other girls, not to say guys can't appreciate it but to most of us it is probably about as engaging as handbags. Sure, they are great and you totally end up relying on your girlfriend carrying her portable toolkit-for-every-situation around (although you will likely end up carrying it -.-' ) but is it attractive? Meh.
Lol no not at all. In fact I'd kinda like it because then I'd known I dont have to be too careful with her hands. Like if we went hiking or camping I wouldn't have to worry about her nails breaking or chipping.
Don't get me wrong women can make their nails look really nice with AL the fancy techniques and such. But none of it is necessary for male attention. Because It doesn't factor into wether I find a girl attractive or not at all.
This is one of those personal preferences. Some have it, some don't.
For me, I have have a major thing for pretty hands and feet and of course a significant part of that are finger and toe nails. Anything less than 100% feminine is a MAJOR turn off for me. It is definitely one of the 3 random things I notice first about a woman.
eh im the same way lol, but hey, at least if an apocalypse comes and you lose your nail clippers, you could be Freddy Krueger and scratch the heck out of anyone who tries to hurt you XD
I don't think a girl necessarily has to do anything special with them, just make sure they're trimmed, clean and don't scratch anyone due to sharp edges.
I personally use a nail block on mine and at least file and smooth them to prevent any kind of hang nails or anything.
Trust me, I used to be a nail tech, and chicks with man hands is not that common. When it does happen, I don't care what kinds of nails you put on them, or what color you paint them, they still look like a dude's hand. You have nothing to worry about.
Either works. Pretty nails look nice, but I don't care all that much for the real long ones and all the blingy crap. I kinda like tomboys anyway, so plain is just fine.
Doesn't really matter to me. Lowkey stuff women do, like maybe light makeup now and then or whatever, it can be cute and just interesting and complement her beauty. But less is more. I would rather date someone who used no makeup than someone who used a ton of makeup.
Like doesn't even paint them at all. I'll be honest that's kind of odd. I mean I'll take a woman who's the dress down type over the dress up type any day of the week. But to never even paint her nails at all? She does know she's a woman right. I thought women did that just feel feminine etc.
Lol 😂 we do other things to make ourselves feel feminine. I very, very rarely paint my nails. It’s pointless. I love gardening my roses and vegetables, playing my cello, painting and creating art (screen-printing/linocut printing/ stain glass work/jewellery making/paper making/natural dyeing/soap making) etc. not to mention baking and cooking, and dressmaking and sewing. All of these activities are easier with short, clean nails, and sometimes require me to have my hands in water for long periods of time.
@Poppykate yeah but when you go out on a date you still paint them right. I guess to me if she didn't paint them at all I would start to question her heterosexual credentials.
That hand looks feminine to me, not like a boys hand.
I find nails on a girl sexier and more attractive. So if she doesn't have them is subtracts some points from my attraction. But if she has enough attraction points in other areas, I can still find her attractive.
On the other hand if her nails are dirty, that could be the deal breaker.
In my religion makeup and nail polish are forbidden to be used in front of strangers, and I personally like that because a beautiful girl doesn't need to change or fake her looks.. natural look for the win
I’ll be honest most guys literally don’t care when it comes to nails as long as it’s clean and doesn’t smell lol. I personally do my nails or keep them clean. It’s up to each person what they want to do.
It wouldn't look like a boy's hand because they are petite. I in general prefer more natural looking women, not caked in makeup. Painted nails are kinda a cute little silly thing girls do, but would mostly only really notice them during a handjob.
