It's said long-nailed men are considered either gays or lunatics, but no one has ever told me it's sane for a man to have the lenght he desires, nails always have to be soldierly short. I have the habit of growing long nails on my point fingers, not too long but apparently longer than the rest. And it even serves the purpose, since I can scratch more easily wink

Cuz we're afraid they'll grow to be as long as that guy on Ripley's with the world's longest fingernails. It might be a woman.

I am a long nailed man, and i am not gay, nor a lunatic (i guess not..).

My finger nails are Vampire-like nails, i keep them kind of short, not to hurt anybody, because some months ago i had my nails really long and sharp and i was really drunk. I got drunk as an anti-depressive threatment (it does not work), and at a point, i started being violent to myself, and i sliced my neck various times with my nails. My friends stoped me and grabed me, for me not to hurt myself seriously. I was lucky that it were just superficial cuts.

So, since then, i keep my nails shortly sharpened, still somewhat long as a vampire, and sometimes painted in black, but surelly not as long as in the past.

I have to keep my nails short, not for the reasons above, but because when your nails hit the strings on a Bass it doesn't sound right, or good. So I have to keep them short enough so my nails don't touch the strings when i pluck the Bass, but if I had the choice i would grow out my nails, life would be so much easier that way, especially stratching!

Yeah, for a quick cocaine shovel.
I want long nails, but I have 2 problems, I bite my nails, and I jam my nails into my palm when I make a fist sometimes.

Nails also help to hold joints when they get down, if you don't have any roach clips.

I don't mind the fact that men should kind of grow out their nails. But um... they know how to scratch at you, and that hurts. I sort of had a fist fight for fun with one of my guy friends and he has long nails... let me tell you, a little deeper and I would have had stiches. As long as you don't get into fights with men that have long nails, I don't see the problem with that.

Just don't paint them. I can't stand it when guys paint their fingernails, even if its just black nailpolish. That doesn't look right at all.

Night crow is causing the problemsad

i did it once a long time ago, however i forget how i did it so i cant share how to fix it sad

a mod needs to ACTUALLY share what he's doing wrong so he doesnt do it again.



On topic ~ Long nails isnt a gay thing. its a drag queen thing. i myself think long nails are gross and disgusting. anytime i see some one w/ long nails i want to chop them off. i cant stand them it drives me nuts.

Because society says so.

But, like when carrying most other unconventional styles, no one is gonna force you to change. So go for it, if you want to have long nails, imo.

Maybe an employer might tell you to trim them because it makes the company look bad or something like that, but I think that's as far as it'll go.

Men are called gay for any stupid little thing that even reminds someone of femininity so who the hell cares these days. That word is tossed around as much as "what's up" now, even though it makes people sexist as hell.

society dictates for us whatis normal and what isn't, why is it whenjanet jacksons nipple was exposed americans went nuts? Guys walk around topless all the time, and some fat men have breasts that as far as size goes are on par with those of women.

There are alot of things that society frowns upon, doesn't mean you can't do them though. just means you have to know in advance that if you do certain people are going to look at you like your less than them.

But in the end as long as you are happy and nobody else gets hurt fuck em.

I don't know. It's not very bright. It's just logical to have long nails. I have long nails because it means I can tear half of somebody's face off without barely trying, which is far more effective than trying to bludgeon somebody with your fists because it's like having razors attatched to your hands, you don't even need a clean shot. I'm barely 60kg soaking wet, yet I mauled somebody who I know for a fact was 6'5" and about 270 pounds. All I did was flick my fingers at him which gave me ample time to kick him in the face half a dozen times while he was busy wailing and crying about his split eyelid. It's pretty funny.

Although I only have nails on one hand now because a) it's hard to play guitar when the fingernails touch the fretboard before your fingers touch the strings, and b) girls aren't very keen to let you stick your fingers inside them when it looks like you'd leave clawmarks on their uterus.

Who gives a shit what people say anyway. Everybody is stupid. Evidently.
