i'm so glad I'm not in the minority of girls who hate long fingernails! my reason is that every guy I've seen with long fingernails looks like that guy who sits on the computer all day, who looks like he could easily be beaten up by the majority of girls. and I have seen a lot of them!
its just a deal breaker!
Guys with long finger nails?

I have, I would say, moderately long nails. And I don't give a fuck about what some insecure little bitch says about my nails.
You women with your ridiculous high heels, leggings, slutty dress-wear, plastic surgery, boob jobs, ass jobs, endless make-up and skin treatments/lotions, hair treatments, manicures, etc etc etc think you have the right to lecture some men about their fashion choice of longer nails? Get a reality check bitch, you have some serious double standards, and your mind is anything but logical right now.
I have longer nails because I like the way it looks, and on my hands it looks badass; it's like I've got claws. And they have their uses. Plus, my nails are stronger than female nails, obviously. You'd be surprised how badly I could mess up a man's face with just one swipe. They do often have an appeal to martial arts fighters for that reason.
I'm highly intelligent, can make people laugh with ease, people tend to enjoy my company and seek my advice, and I'm on my way to becoming a multi-millionaire. But for you dumb sluts who would actually view my nails as a deal breaker? I would view your shallow stupidity as a deal breaker.
It annoys me to see dudes grow their nails out long, not just the pinky. And to make it more annoying is when they don't clean them either...pretty gross and don't understand how some women are attracted to that.
Even when I see a girl with dirty nails it grosses me out.
I remember this one girl who I really liked and I noticed her nails were pretty damn dirty and it totally turned me off, I looked past it but it almost made me do a 180
I know this post is old but thought I would add to it. (M28) I have, and have had long finger nails on my right hand for over 4 years. I play flamenco guitar and without them would not be able to get the same sound! I've tried fake nails so that I can take them off and not gross people out but they were causing so much damage to my nail that I couldn't keep doing it. So I grew them out, keep them clean and tidy and generally look after them. If people get grossed out that's their problem I'd rather play flamenco like a demon than worry about what other ignorant people think of me. An interesting thing I've found is that people never ask me why I have them. I bite the nails on my left hand so they are tiny! I'm clearly doing it for a reason but people are still afraid to ask. I find it odd but maybe they're just freaked out and would rather not ask.
Maybe because they play the guitar? Long nails might serve as guitars pick. That's the case of one of my male classmates, at least--but I think only certain nails are longer than usual, and he keeps the rest short (because he doesn't need to use all of his nails as pick substitutes). I haven't seen anyone else having long nails.
@mintscent -- the best finger picking style guitar player in the world is using fingerpicks, he does it without nails so that's not an excuse. long nails are just absurd especially on a male it's disgusting and a complete turn off ew.
@chunlilovesvega I know this is an old thread but good grief, I think I’ve lost count how many people I’ve had to explain this to, especially after studying abroad in Spain as a classical guitarist myself. Traditionally, guitarists that play either classical or Spanish style would file their nails to have an angled shape in order to attack the string in a specific way for variety in tone. It actually has nothing to do with the look, believe it or not. It’s a musical form that dates back hundreds of years, the player has to maintain his nails daily, some have even been known to use acrylics or silk wraps to achieve a specific sound. I personally file my own natural nail to a shape, but the logic is actually pretty sound. If one were to use a pick for Flamenco, they would severely limit themselves in both tone and ability. A rock or pop guitarist could get away with it, but classical musicians actually prefer nails. It’s kinda fascinating, actually.
As a male, I will, from time to time, let my fingernails grow out to a maximum of 2.5 mm. When this happens, it's because I haven't found a moment to cut them properly, but in that instance I will trim the edges though, if needed. I cut my nails with a big clipper and only when they are wet. It's the only time clipping doesn't create rough edges. I also shave only when my facial hair is wet, right after a shower, so I have to prioritize between one and the other (usually shaving wins, and I'm not going to waste time clipping fingernails when I have to get to work so that might delay the process for a few more days). Personally I think the shape of my hands and fingers allow for it, up to that limit, without looking weird. I will also add that I keep my nails clean at all times, cleaner than most girls I know... I wash my hands often and can't stand to see dirt under fingernails. What I can't stand personally are those stupid gel nails. Too lazy to keep up your real nails, ladies? I don't specifically like 'long' nails either, on females nor males, a few mm is the max for me and I prefer a natural look over fakes... It takes one look at your toes to show how well one truly cares for their nails. :)
I don't know. I don't prefer it honestly. Mostly because I think a lot of guys don't have fingernail awareness. Like if they hold your hand, rub your back or thighs, or even finger you. Basically he's going to either jab you or scratch you. Neither of which seem fun.
I have a crazy male hands fetish and there's nothing I hate more than long nails on a guy. I can only be attracted to guys with certain looking hands... This is just what I love;
ps: if you have similar looking hands please add me! :D <3
I consider them practical, everyone should adjust their body to the conditions of any activity, as long as the nails are aesthetic but also practical is (my opinion) a superb decision, My nails are 4 cm, and I'm a boy, I don't know who or why he invented the restrictions and rules of lengths for hair and nails, but it seems to me personally that these rules violate the right to free choice (A responsible choice must be made) In short, I believe that as long as any choice including the theme of this topic (nails) are a choice full of benefits, which does not create problems for others, it is a good choice and must be respected!
Maybe they want to paint them and feel sexy sometimes, or they need long nails to to reach their back, just in case it one they normally couldnt reach, if their nails were a normal length.
Lol! It's still nasty to me in general! Men should never have long nails to me if they don't have great hygiene and they just walk around with dirt, crap, and God knows what else in them Lol.
I only let my fingernails get so long (not too long) to play guitar better. I really should practice more >.> so ya, only reason my nails get a bit longer than my finger tip is for guitar purposes
I think the only part where it would be a deal-breaker is sex. And if you have 2 fingers with short nails, that would be enough :p I know quite a lot of guys who have long nails on one hand and short on the other, I wonder if that has anything to do with it... Anyways, I tend to like slightly feminine guys. Not the overly gay ones, since those are gay anyways, but the more "elegant" ones if that makes sense.
Oh my gosh biggest turn off for me. My brother lets his grow and I tell him ALL the time to cut them its discusting. I have met other guys that do the same and like if I have to ill cut them for them.

Guys don't really pay attention to that stuff like we do. Well at least some guys don't. For example my brothers are freaks about that. As soon as their nails start growing they cut them off. They have really good hygiene for teenage boys lol. But one of my close guy friends can keep his nails soooo long until someone actually mentions how long and dirty they are. I guess it just depends lol
Lol, Yes That's what I think too. My brother is the exact same way about his nails he can't stand for them to get a certain length. Lol hygiene is just very important to me. But, your right stuff I guess like that might be so minor to a guy that they just don't pay attention to it.
I don't know I guess in my mind a guy is supposed to have short nails and they should leave long nails to girls. And the only other reason I could think about a guy not cutting his nails would be because they play a guitar.
I keep two nails a little long. Not super long. And, I try to keep them as clean as I can. I still probably cut them once a week or so, but they're past the pad of the finger. I have to open a lot of stuff, and work with jewelry, so having a bit of a nail makes more sense.
But I don't keep them generally long enough to break or crack, though that can happen with short nails, too. The rest I keep up with pretty well.
lmao long nails arnt really my thing. not even on girls. i prefer when they are cut short and only a little white is visible wouldn't say it looks gross but definitely off
No. It's a sign of depression. When I'm depressed I don't clip my nails. If they're well manicured, I would not assume he bats for my team if I was a girl.
I think its pretty awesome when a guy keep his nails long. Meanwhile in many south america and Asia Countrys guys have very long nails.
Personally i keep my nails growing since i was 11 years old. I asked my parents if they allow to keep them growng. My das agreed and so my nails are getting even longer
Both your options are yes, first of all! And I'm not a fan of long nails on guys or girls. Never know what's going to get underneath them. But, as long as you keep them clean then that's a step up.
I associate longer fingernails with feminine qualities, its not really a manly trait. Plus longer fingernails = more space for bacteria and dirt GROSS!
