I been wearing nail polish over 30 years.

It all started when my oldest daughter turned 3 or so. Her mom would never let her paint her nails. So I would let her paint mine. I have 5 daughters and everyone them painted my nails. Over the years I ended up liked having them painted. I even painted them on my own sometimes.

Now my grandkids are painting my nails. I find it harmless, fun and great way to bond with your child.

Just the other day my daughter came over (now 32 years old) and she reached into her bag and started painting my nails. Like she did when was little. Durning the whole time she painted my nails we talked and drank coffee. We mostly talked about the old days and what's going on in her life now

So I see nothing wrong with a dad with painted finger nails

Been there done that. Didn't like the mess. But yeah that's been going on for ever basically, Harry Styles may be a pioneer of "normal" men doing it (which is a good step) but this shit isn't uncommon in many alt communities. Makeup nail polish peircings etc. It's only the regular dude bros who feel like they can't do it. Others know you can, and if people act like children about it that's their problem. Some adults will still gawk at a man in fuckin short heels and a choker like they're a toddler and he's a Disney princess lol. It's so stupid.

I really couldn't care most my male friends are in the heavy metal and paint there nails black.

Plus when I was a kid I used to practice my nail art on my little baby cusion and he loved it. I used to paint is nails in his favourite football teams colours and it was just abit of harmless fun. There bigger issues facing men today then nail polish let people be who they wanna be as long as they aren't hurting anyone it's no one's business but there's

Goth guys wear make up and nail polish. Tall slim with dark hair usually it suits them, long black coat heavy boots and they look good. They even have girlfriends so I think this is a non issue if it's worn in a way he is able to pull it off. He can still look attractive.

AdithyaR · Answer

Damn this thread is full so many hateful people.

Personally I like painting my nails, I'm into goth fashion so i will often paint my nails black or blood red. I have occasionally done style cosplaying characters like Uzui Tengen from Demon Slayer. I like doing it honestly don't give a damn about how others see me because of it. I've got tons of compliments for them and i know those people are the real ones and the only ones worth listening to.

A lot of guys seem to be too caught up in the idea of being a real man. Just do what makes you happy my guy, just remember to be a good person.

jshm2 · Answer

I suppose it would make a good enough excuse to pummel the fucker as an affront to being male.

Harry Styles is hardly a bastion of masculinity. The simp would go transwoman if it means more followers and a pay check.

You need to be more careful of such people these days. They are more interested in themselves and their paychecks than any cause or views. They would happily sell their followers to the devil without much thought.

TroyDT2 · Answer

I did once in the past, but for a specific reason. It was clear, I was performing on guitar (classical), and one of my right hand nails was starting to split so I did it to make it through the concert. In a situation like that I can understand it. Otherwise I see it is just trying to be trendy.

menina · Answer

I asked a question about this topic a couple of months ago. I absolutely hate seeing men wearing nail polish! I would never date a man who does that.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

Not my thing, but you do you.

I don't see a problem with using clear polish or using a nail buffer if they otherwise look dull, like I do the latter all the time, because my nail clipper sucks.

Colours aren't my thing though.

Anonymous · Answer

Its a very bad idea, nail polish is frequently made with chemicals which are not good for boys.

But even if that were not true gender differentiation is very important to a functional population as the example of the demographically collapsing countries without it should make quite clear.

MrOracle · Answer

Gross. Unless you are in some play or something, and it is part of the costume, I am not a fan of feminizing men. Women love to celebrate this stuff, and in the same breath, they complain that they can't find a real man...

letuswaltzforthedead · Answer

I like it, its subtle and it usually looks good. Plus, if the guy is a dad or something, it's cute and funny since it's probably his daughter playing with him.

Julie4 · Answer

It's none of my business, they can do what they want, as long as they stay respectful and don't do anything illegal, they can do what they want with their nails lol

LaBokaChula · Answer

I don't necessarily have an opinion on men wearing nail polish.. The only thing that slightly bothers me is when they're wearing press on nails. But, it's not enough for me to say anything to me.. It's just not something that I am fond of.

TheVigilantOne · Answer

I for one wouldn’t wear make up/nail polish, but it’s up to others what they want to do, if they like it then let them be, it’s not hurting anyone so why worry about it? 🤷🏽‍♂️

AliceinWonder · Answer

I simply don't care, and I think anyone who has a hissy fit over nail polish is a snowflake. The matter of what somebody puts on their nails literally never crosses my mind. Like what they put on their face or stick up their ass. Live your life and let me live mine.

BlueScorpio · Answer

I tend to think he's effeminate or gay, unless he's in a metal band and wears black nail polish. But any other color would be kinda turn off for me.

MountAverage · Answer

It's not exactly new. It has been a very common trend among men in the punk scene of the 70s and later the goth scene of the 80s, they often painted their nails black. Nothing new. And who cares anyway?

Anonymous · Answer

I think of them the same way I think of women who wear suits and ties, or short hair. They are sending a message about who they are, deep down inside.

The man who wears nail polish is saying "I'm a woman at heart, or want to be a woman, but I am stuck in a man's body".

Grond21 · Answer

I just think it's another attack on masculinity. Not because men can't wear nail polish but because it's done with the message of attacking men or appropriating something from women. So I don't like it

Snakeyes7 · Answer

It's one thing if they let their younger female relatives do it to them or for reasons other than because they think it looks good but other than that, it really rubs me the wrong way. It just doesn't mix well for males.
