to really detest long nails on a man?

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)

It's like men with long hair. Straggly, uncut and unkempt is eurch... but well groomed, flowing locks is a bit... hmmmm.

ya so nbu

Long finger nails on a mam make me shudder. Yeuch. It's just wrong.

Unkempt toe nails are worse - either sex.

You are being very sexist, but you know that already Grin
I can't bear long painted claws on a woman, it just looks so tarty to me. Especially when they are so long that they impair the functioning of the hand properly.
Nails to the end of the finger, and neatly kept are fine, whatever the sex.
But then an ex of mine played flamenco guitar, wore black leather and had long hair. Yum.

YANBU! When I met my ex, it just looked as if he hadn't gotten round to clipping them for a little while, but it turned out that he insisted on having them even longer. He was also adamant that he didn't smell when he didn't shower for days Hmm I now don't do facial or long hair on men as a result.

Also hate false nails and long toenails on either sex, or even worse: long false toenails

In fact, what am I doing on this thread?
I've hidden Style and Beauty for my own sanity.

YANBU! I saw a picture of Colin Farrell with really long nails. Put me right off him! Bleurgh!

dp has long nails like a werewolf

Doodleydoo · 20/08/2010 20:43

Long nails are horrible as previously stated. They go in the category of fake grey leather loafing shoes. GRIM

spiralqueen · 20/08/2010 21:15

Long nails on either sex are grim.

YADNBU OP.

Speaking of nails... or claws... what is the deal with women with cat paw prints tattooed on their chest?

Kaloki · 23/08/2010 14:39

Maybe they like them wahwahwah?

My DP has lovely nails, the aren't properly long, but they aren't as short as possible. They are always filed and painted. (Currently turquoise and black) I find nail varnish on men incredibly sexy.

wahwahwah · 23/08/2010 14:43

They are not horrible - I don't like nor dislike them... are they supposed to represent something?

Kaloki · 23/08/2010 19:24

For me, my name is Kat, and I like cats, therefore cat paw prints. They were originally going to be based on prints from my old cat's paws, but she died before I got around to it :(
