I have long nails because I play classical guitar. You need nails to get a good sound while finger picking, they come in handy.

Earrings I'm neutral on, it's just personal choice whether they wear them or not. I don't care either way.

I could care less what other people do but I cut my nails and would never get my ears pierced.

My thoughts, your finger nails disgust me. Earrings I don't care but fake diamond earrings are obvious and lame.

Only excuse for long fingernails on men is if you play classical guitar, when it becomes a must.

Nails can be used as tools, so to each his own. But I am and always will be against piercings of any kind. I don't even like earrings on girls. I see absolutely no reason for them.

So you have long AND short nails, as I often do? I find this poll biased against people who treat their hands independently.

My left hand has short nails on account of guitar and my right hand has longer nails on account of guitar.

Long nails on a man like in the OP is weird and creepy imo.

Earrings on a man makes him look feminine. I'm not sure why any man would want to look that way.

what the hell do fingernail length have to do with manliness?

really odd but interesting thread ahaha

I've kept my right hand fingernails longish since I don't like using a pick when i play guitar because i like fingerpicking the best. My left hand finger nails however are short and it bothers me when i type and my fingernails hit the keyboard. Also if I'm playing piano I usually trim down the nails so every key i play doesnt click

It all depends on who is wearing them (both nails and earrings) and how. Some pull it off magnificently, others just look weird, and even then i depends who you're asking
as a perspective, here is how I kept my nails for almost 6 months, that was about 3 years ago and it was a pain in the ass not to break them, but i was quite proud and got complimented a lot (mostly by girls though lol) crappy pic because zoom-in from a larger and very silly pic.

and also i don't see what any of this has to do with manliness. Manliness (or rather manhood i guess) isn't something that should be defined only by how you look, that's just a matter of fashion and fashion changes, over time or from one culture to another.

Not sure if this has been mentioned since I didn't check every single page but most koreans [ males ] are raised to take care of their finger nails and keep them short most of the time. If you go anywhere to meet anyone's parents or anything its among one of the first things they judge you by in an already superficial society. This applies to fingernails and toenails since as I'm sure you know you take off your shoes most of the time indoors.

Earrings are considered for punks for normal people but ok for celebrities by most older generation koreans.

And before anyone gets up in a riot, this doesn't mean koreans are the only ones who are raised to take care of their fingernails, its just from my experience they explicitly are judged by it on a normal basis in society and don't have weird shit like 1 long fingernail on the pinky.

What kind of women like black long nails on a male? Do they also wear black?

lol you'd be surprised :D . And the nails weren't black, they were a much nicer and less clichéd purple color.

I have to say i was a lil disappointed with the "beastly" hand pictures

http://www.digitalbusstop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Man-Long-Nails.jpg
Now those are some beastly nails.

But honestly I could care less how a fellow man dresses and maintains himself

Totally. I've seen enough earrings on men to be somewhat accustomed to it by now. So long as the earrings aren't ridiculously big or those hoop type things which give you a huge hole in the bottom part of your ear.
No dough, no go. And no mercy.

I keep my own nails long. Mainly for the shock factor though. Soo many people are...enthralled with telling others how they should do things that if I can get under their skin by not doing anything at all its a win in my book. Entertainment?
Earrings I had my ears pierced at six or seven. By the time I was eleven I told my parents that I thought earrings were useless and refused to wear them. The hole has long since closed.

I don't know why I would have long fingernails as a man aside from requiring them (Classic Guitarist, or whatever).
srsly
