to really detest long nails on a man?

[Igglybuff]

I saw a picture of a man with long nails - so long they extended past the end of the fingertips. Not talons but long enough. It gave me the shivers.

AIBU to detest long nails on a man? Even if they're clean? (Even worse IMO as implies they've deliberately grown them. Urgh)

YANBU I like my dh's rugged hands, they remind me how hard he works.

No you are not BU. I think it's creepy UNLESS they have one or two long nails for playing the guitar.

what mowiol said

YUK!!! (guitar bits allowed).

YANBU

I'm not even sure about guitar bits to be honest...

Even worse are long toenails

YADNBU - long nails on a man in just wrong. I had someone come round to quote me for a contract and didn't give him the job becuase of his long nails

(shallow, I know but for some reason his nails made me distrust him).

Ouch!

Not unreasonable at all. Long fingernails on a man are very creepy indeed, even guitar playing ones. Yuck.

No! I hate hate hate this. There are a couple of blokes that get on my train who have long nails (again, not v long, but visible white bits and they look 'shaped' ). I really have to avoid sitting opposite them as it makes me feel quite sick.

I don't think being a guitar player makes the package any better. Unless you are Slash.

My late neighbour used to have long fingernails . But then he also had carefully coiffed hair and was an arm-clutcher.

Yes TB I know what you mean - untrustworthy!

Ewww, just reading about long nails on a man makes me cringe!

privet shaped nails? Wrong wrong wrong

I know! filed into ovals!

TopTrump - you should see the face I just realised I was inadvertently pulling while reading / typing this!

Mowiol, I have a very vivid image in my mind now

Yuck, it's just wrong!!!

Dh is a roofer and bites his nails, but that's how I like them. On the other hand my bosses long nails make me feel sick....

He also used to wear beige oufits. Very disturbing

How weird - YABU.

My DH has strong, long nails and very manly hands, I do have to remind him to trim them ( for my comfort ).

Then again, moustaches, beards and shaved heads make me nauseous, so I can't really talk.

Yeuch - long nails on a bloke give me the heebie jeebies. Even if it's for playing the guitar, I still imagine them being used for a sneaky nose or bum pick

my uncle keeps one very long little fingernail for cleaning his ears with

yuk!

Christ, I've got a thumpingly bad hangover today - why. WHY did I click on this thread.

YANBU
can't decide which is worse though, one long little fingernail like B52s' uncle or all of them?

LOVE that name Shirley

B52s - please tell me that's a joke?? I feel positively squeamish now.
