Male pedicures: is it ok/ normal for straight man to go & get feet pedicures?

[Anonymous]

Is it ok/ normal for straight man to go & get feet pedicures? Have you done it?

[Kaneki05]

Obviously. But on a whole that practice is a waste of money. It's one of those things people get when they can't be arsed to do it themselves.
And nothing wrong with not doing it, but if you wanna do it why not save the money and do it yourself. It's not hard.
It's like when I asked my mother why on earth do I need to pay this man to cut my hair? Welp ever since I asked I've not done so. I always cut my own hair and it's never done any harm.
Next they will think of paying someone to shower you... which without looking it up I can tell is already a thing.

[AdithyaR]

One thing i can tell you, life is too short to worry about being normal or wondering how others are gonna judge you. Judgy people will judge us regardless so might as well do what we love.
If you want to get a manicure or pedicure, go ahead and enjoy it!

[SaoirseS]

There’s no stigma attached to straight men who go to a nail salon for nail care, although there are plenty of guys here and IRL that wouldn’t be caught dead in one. I see men of all types, including pro athletes and blue collar guys, in the shop most times when I get mine done.

[suzzieQ]

There absolutely is a stigma.

[BlueScorpio]

Yes please get them fellas. So many guys neglect their feet and when they take their shoes off, their toenails looks like they have gangrene or throwing fungus circus. It okay to have clean hands and feet and won't be turn off to most women.

[FootfetishistBoy]

I really want to a pedicure. Im not lying, my feet are pretty sexy for a man. But im afraid people will bash me for being effeminate or something

[BlueScorpio]

@FootfetishistBoy Who's gonna know? It can be personal thing for you if you want it to be.

[FootfetishistBoy]

True

[cuckbetamale]

I dooo mam

[481632]

As a former esthetician I can honestly tell you that foot care is important for everyone. Whether you do it yourself or pay someone to do it for you. How does it feel when a woman rubs her rough feet on you during sexy time? Well fellas, you generally get rougher skin than women. Especially if you wear crappy hot steel toes for days on end. Yes, you definitely need to retain some of the callus build up as to not be in pain while in those worn out, smelly boots. However, the sharp, crusty bits that scratch your partner, pill the sheets and put holes in your socks don't need to be there. Too much callus is also not good to be standing on for long periods of time.

So to answer your question, you require foot care. When done professionally you also get a foot massage (check to make sure it's included. Some places make it an extra add on for those who want a cheaper option). This is for all genders

[Firesparks]

Girls, I am going to be very honest... in all my years of life I never heard a guy getting manicure n pedicure... I've been shielded from that n only time I ever hear about those places is only girls goes there... but once I think earlier this year did I hear about guys getting that done... I had no idea of benefits from doing that... I make sure I bathe n keep clean an all... I'll definitely check it out n I'll keep an open mind and see what happens plus... n talk to them n possible go often to get it done after hearing what they have to say... it'll be my 1st time

[suzzieQ]

It's surprising just how emasculated some men are about personal hygiene and self care... It's a pedicure... that basically the same thing has getting a hair cut or going to a barber.

[NamerOfStars]

Is it normal? Well, I don't think it's particularly common, but maybe it should be- a man is typically bigger than a woman, and is (usually) going to be heavier, even if they're the same size, AND is statistically more likely to be on his feet longer and more often; it makes a great deal of sense that he should take better care of his feet.

It might raise a few eyebrows among people who don't think it through, but it's certainly okay.

[Anonymous]

Bro LMFAO what kind of a dumbass question is this? 😂 you’re def insecure about your masculinity if you had to ask this question. Bffr. Yes it’s okay. It’s fucking hygiene. The same goes for washing in between your ass cheeks, your belly button, and behind the ears, it’s BASIC hygiene.

[SphynxUK]

Why not? If it makes them feel better and their feet look better?

[Tobadwhy91]

Yeah it is definitely ok! Maybe less common than girls doing but that doesn't mean its "not normal" or not ok. Do what you want

[nolabels]

I never have, but if I had the extra money laying around, I definitely would.

Sorry for the potential mind-image, but the bottoms of my feet are like tire treads.

I'd have a full body massage every day, too, if I could afford it.

[BJP21]

Once. Its more common than you think. If you happen to be a senior with limited mobility pedicures and manicures for men are a thing.

[SaoirseS]

It's much more common around here than it used to be for guys of all ages. I think the approach they take is they get pedicures and manicures when their self-care gets away from them, and they visit a salon to get them into shape and maintain it themselves after that. Women tend to visit nail salons on a fairly regular schedule, guys I think are more likely to get them done infrequently, and only as needed for cuticle care, grinding down overly thick nails, etc.

[abc3643]

I got a pedi with my wife several months ago.

It felt odd, but I would do it again.

What I REALLY want is a Thai foot massage, but those are next to impossible to find in the USA.

[Bricealan]

I have not yet, but intend to do that sometime. If Coby Bryant can get a manicure and pedicure, well, so can you and I.

[Jdjfjcjj]

I've had pedicures and I'd say the resulting feeling can be better understood by imagining how it feels when wearing a new pair of socks. I also enjoy the massage. Don't/would never use nail polish.

[SnowedIn]

Yes it is okay. Perhaps not as common for men as for women, but, yes, normal. I do it roughly monthly.

[Summeroflove]

I don’t think it matters at all. I mean it can’t hurt you and it’s probably good for your feet. I never personally have had one done.

[ThoseCognacEyes]

Yes of course! I get one every 3 weeks on average and I maintain it at home with filing, moisturizing, and all that.

[Fireguy17]

Yes I have done it a few times, no polish.

I dint bend so well anymore so it is hard for me to trim them properly, so you go to a professional and have it done.

[TheeTrybrid]

I can promise you , I'd love seeing a man take care of his hygiene and himself. Right to many these males think that washing their ass guy and are walking around smelling like sewer so I find nothing wrong with it

[Anonymous]

I went with my wife because I was embarrassed myself.. but I do like people touching my feet so that was stronger then.. feet looked cute and my wife was more into rubbing them

[Billlewis]

Guys who get pedicures and show off their feet drive me crazy... lol

[bolverk]

I can only see one reason for a man to have a pedicure, that is if he is physically unable to reach his feet to do it himself

[Pohjolan]

No, Spas and Salons are well known for throwing out paying customers if they do not pass their sexual orientation inspection.

/Sarcasm

[DermalPunch]

It isn't girly and it's good for your foot health. But please don't paint them.

[ChillaxingLove]

Taking care of yourself is never a bad thing.

[Subarugirl]

Absolutely. Anyone who thinks that taking care of yourself and hygiene is emasculating must have a think that masculinity is very fragile.

[annabananna]

Yea, every time I go to get a pedi I will se a straight male do it. It is relaxing and feels good so every gender will like it.

[ZenJen444]

Yes please , too many men expect our feet to be gorgeous yet their feet looks like they've been walking in fields and toenails crusted. Men please take care of your feet.

[Justneedtokno]

Yes it’s ok for you to get those claws done

[DrBanana]

Hmm maybe not get them on a super regular time mostly due to the money being spent on them I think but maybe try doing some stuff at home as well.

[art84]

I get my toenails cut as I am a Diabetic and enjoy it every three months. Just need to clean my toenails with medicine for that fungus.

[crmoore]

Some people might find it weird but you shouldn't restrict yourself based on what others might dislike.

[TacosRAwesome]

Don't think it's normal but like they've got hands and feet so why not

[Slotbot]

Many suffer from ingrown toenails. So getting a professional doing the job is perfectly fine

[Amarah0]

I don't know when people decided that self care and basic hygiene was feminine

[Pterodon]

What others think doesn’t matter and yes I’ve had them.

[Guardian45]

AB-SO-LUTE-LY! For Diabetics, excellent foot care is MANDATORY! Otherwise, one could risk amputations!

[Guardian45]

Yes, I do it on a regular schedule (I have problem feet, especially after I took long distance racing!)

[DiegoO]

Well. I once did it because I had an accident. Usually I clean my own foot.

[Cubus]

If you want to lose your money, then who am I to judge you?

[suzzieQ]

Do you go to a barber?

[Cubus]

@suzzieQ Nope

[suzzieQ]

Really? You never pay someone to cut your hair?

[Cubus]

@suzzieQ I pay, but I don't go to the barber

[suzzieQ]

So paying someone to cut your hair isn’t losing your money, but paying someone to give you a pedicure is?

[Cubus]

@suzzieQ That's a completely different case as

1. Nails are much easier to cut by yourself
2. Nails are not visible and hair is

[suzzieQ]

Actually not really because it is the basically the same thing being cut. Hair and nails are made of basically the same thing

[Cubus]

@suzzieQ It's not what I'm talking about. Cutting hair requires some skills, while cutting nails doesn;t

[suzzieQ]

Lol that just goes to show how little you know about grooming.

[Kaneki05]

@suzzieQ It really does. I've been cutting my own hair for ages never done any harm. If ya think is a waste of money you should also thinking paying for hair cuts is too.

[suzzieQ]

@Kaneki05 Yes it does take skill, it also takes skill and training to be an esthetician where you actually have to go to school to get trained and certified. There is a lot more that goes into a pedicure than just clipping your nails... My point is that it is not a waste of money. Succubus over there does.

[Cubus]

@suzzieQ It's an artificial need. Just as women byuing handbags.

[suzzieQ]

And where are we supposed to put out things like wallet, keys, phone, medication, pads and tampons? its not like they make women's cloths to have pockets like they do men's...

[Cubus]

@suzzieQ That's why I said it's creating an artificial need. Imagine how much money they milk of you on these handbags

[suzzieQ]

Imagine just how much more women need to have with them on a regular basis than you do? Especially if she has kids.
Sure some people like having lots of bags just like some like having lots of watches, or cars, or video games, or shoes.

[Cubus]

@suzzieQ That's why I don't have a lot of thrse

[Cubus]

*these

[Kaneki05]

You can do it home very easily just the same as cutting ones hair. It don't take skill. Just you gotta be arsed to try it.

[suzzieQ]

@Kaneki05 Do you even know what goes into a pedicure? Or do you think that it's just getting your toenails trimmed?
Hair cuts do take skill unless you are just buzzing off your own hair, which takes about as much skill as trimming your toenails.

[Kaneki05]

I have long hair so no I don't just shave it all off lmao. And no it don't I've done it before. Clearly you've never tried or you failed really badly. I even have certified bad hand skills by doctors scoring badly across the board and can do it. So shrugs.

[suzzieQ]

@Kaneki05 Actually I have cut quite a bit of hair myself and I understand just how much skill and technique it takes to do it well.

[Kaneki05]

Then you would know how easy it is. I ain't just randomly lying about cutting my own hair. I've done it for years without problems.

[suzzieQ]

@Kaneki05 And I am sure you have, and you are right a simple hair cut or trim doesn't really take much skill, but it certainly does to do a fade or some good layers with curtain bangs.

[Kaneki05]

Well that takes more practice for sure but with it easily done.

[suzzieQ]

@Kaneki05 Because it requires skill which is why to be a barber or hair dresser you have to go to school for a year to do it professionally.

[Kaneki05]

I mean you have already failed life if you think school is the only way to learn such things.

[suzzieQ]

@Kaneki05 I never said that I did... you can learn how to do surgery with out going to school either... but it would still be illegal to practice it with out a license.

[Kaneki05]

Welp you know what ain't illegal cutting your own hair. I don't know seems to me you have a lot of pride in been a hairdresser I would assume.
Which all fairness having pride in one's work but its not a high skilled position a doctor for example is way harder.
Barbers aren't someone I look at and go wow you have a hard job.

[suzzieQ]

@Kaneki05 Then you must not have had much experience in a customer service type job.

[Kaneki05]

@suzzieQ You don't need that to cut your own hair. And that don't automatically make it hard to do so don't see how that's relevant. Plus there is a reason why it only takes a year to learn hell it would take much less than that but education systems aren't often the most effective.
I take pride in my writing but I would never saying writing is hard, because the truth of it isn't. Same for cutting hair.

But hard is subjective so maybe you just find it so. But I don't at all.

[suzzieQ]

@Kaneki05 they you must not be familiar with how much skill it takes a good hairdresser. Anyone can cut hair or cut toe tails, but it takes skill to be able to do it well.

[Kaneki05]

@suzzieQ You keep saying that but you have no points to prove your claims. Meanwhile I can easily refute your's by how little time it takes to learn along with how much faster it would be if education systems were better.
You ain't pulling a heart out of a patient so stop acting like it's a hard thing to do when it's really not.

[suzzieQ]

@Kaneki05 are you a hair dresser? Do you know a hairdresser? Have you ever done anyone else’s hair besides your own?

[Kaneki05]

@suzzieQ Your points are making less sense. By that logic So a person has never worked behind a till does that make till work a super hard job that takes tons of skill?
So these questions are a joke rather than evidence.

[Kaneki05]

Oh well I can't bothered with this anymore. Clearly you have some hung up pride on the ability to haircut when it's not special but hey don't let me burst your bubble.

[suzzieQ]

@Kaneki05 no it means that you’ve never experienced what it’s like to work behind a till, so you don’t understand everything that goes into it.

[Jessica4294]

absolutely. I personally love a clean man that takes care of himself. nothing wrong with that

[SpaceGalaxy]

Men should but be prepared for many women thinking that they are gay! I could care less... i get it done

[RandomGuy1032]

Men aren't supposed to value themselves in this society. Go to work, give your money to a girl, and if needed go to war and die.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

It’s only sus if he’s having his nails painted. Just a normal pedicure is fine

[Chilligarlicflakes]

Nothing wrong with that, I just usually take care of my feet at home.

No I have never went for a pedicure

[babuína]

Of course why wouldn’t it be. It’s self care. This society we live in is fucked up. If I had a boyfriend I would do his nails myself😚

[fonduegirl]

of course! Xx

[dustybiker]

Why not? It makes a person feel and look good.

[Guardian45]

I have Million Dollar feet now! (Cuz that's about what I have spent on them!🤣)

[dustybiker]

@Guardian45 More than me. 😬

[AviatorTom]

It's perfectly okay. I've done it.

[bamesjond0069]

Pretty weird and I'd think the guy was gay.

[LimitedBenefits101]

Stop being a sissy man.

[Anonymous]

Only when he's MANstrating.

[Guy13]

No gay boi…

[TrueConfection]

Yes PLEASE!

[Blackcupcake]

sure

[LavLavLuv]

Yezz

[OfDeath]

No (filler)

[Subarugirl]

Why not?

[OfDeath]

@Subarugirl It would just be awkward.

[Subarugirl]

Why would it be awkward?

[OfDeath]

@Subarugirl because

[Subarugirl]

Because…. Why?

[OfDeath]

@Subarugirl just because
