In light of having beast fingernails, and curiosity as to Western attitude to earrings, what do you think of these two things? I know Koreans somewhat favour earrings based on all the guys I've known - and I've known a lot of Koreans.

Beastly right hand.
Beastly left hand.
I also have a genetic condition causing extremely short and disproportional fingers. Also, my fingernails aren't that yellow, it's just the lighting.

I could never have finger nails that long lol! I keep mine relatively short and would never get my ears pierced and personally dont care if other guys have it.
Definitely gonna switch to G, the only race I havent played yet. - TLO

I need and want my nails short. I do work with my hands so it probably wouldn't work out anyways. I don't have time to be all prissy with my fingernails like women. Earrings, I used to have one, but took it out about a decade ago. Looks good sometimes, other times it looks awful.

Long fingernails are useful. It's not a fashion thing and I don't care what others think.

Second poll makes no sense, question is about what someone thinks about earrings on other men, but all answers are about what they think about earrings on themself :o

Right ear is the gay ear.
Left ear is tryhard 2 be cool ear.
Both ears is still tryhard 2 be cool. Relatively accepted.
Anything beyond that is just looking for attention.

I don't really care, but I'm more of the belief that you don't need abnormal visual markers to show people your personality; you just need to talk to them. Any piercing reduces your corporate business world job prospects by a 5th though.
Life is not about making due with what you have; it's about finding out just how much you can achieve. Never settle for anything less than the best. - - - Read my blog!

To me, I don't care if men have long fingernails, doesn't concern me. I don't care if women paint their nails but I don't really like long fingernails on them.

As for earrings, don't care for either. Do what you want but i prefer smaller earrings on women, not the giant hoops...

Long nails and earrings are favorable to korean people, what???? I'm korean, and while some guys might get some generic diamond stud, I've never heard of the fingernail thing, that's kinda gross~~

It just says on men, not other men.

I'm assuming over 95% of TL posters are men so they can identify with that post. As for the women, it would be for others.

I just meant the earrings for that part, sorry for the confusion.

I play the cello, so my fingernails are as short as I can possibly get them. And I don't really care for earings in guys. Some guys can pull it off fairly well, but most just look douchey.

short nails are a part of good hygene, earrings are a matter of superficial preference.

IMHO Earrings are bad in both men and women

long nails annoy me when it comes to typing or working. So I generally keep them short. Nails as long as the op weird me out as they generally dont look that appealing and rarely ever look that clean. Although the op does seem to keep them well maintained. It just seems to me that whenever I see someone with long nails, it's usually because of neglect and not out of trying to achieve a certain look. They're rarely ever styled. I hold this opinion for both boys and girls.

I don't like earrings ... Will never wear such stuff.
Nails thou ... Don't mind. Had my periods of extra long nails before, nowdays I keep them actually like 0.3-0.5 cm long. Don't like them cut off completely coz then I can't use my fingertips for prolongued hours. They just start to hurt in the first 2-3 days after I cut them off completely and try to game for like more then 2 hours.

Long nails are just an annoyance. They get in the way of doing work, can break, etc. I keep mine short.
Don't really care about earrings.
