Long nails impede me whenever I use a keyboard, musical or otherwise, so I end up clipping them before they grow monstrous. Earrings on men... usually I just see them as wastes of money, but perhaps someday I will find a man and earring setup that looks fetching.

I find it kind of curious that the macho types tend to believe long nails are for women and short ones for men: you're paying more attention to them by cutting them and keeping them short.

Playing guitar for example.

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 do try to keep them maintained as best I can, glad to see someone sees that >_>

I take some extra time whenever I wash my hands to clean my nails well, and to be honest I think the fact that they're long enough for me to clean inside it makes them cleaner than when I had short nails and trying to reach under the nail would feel like self torture.

TBH, I think the best example would be peeling oranges xD

Not sure what Soleron thinks though.

I personally dislike long nails as a habit from playing piano for a while. It still gets in the way with other instruments like the flute and clarinet... and it gets in the way with Starcraft >_>.

I guess I just don't like long nails for practical reasons.

As for earrings, it just rubs me the wrong way when I see a guy wearing them. Small earrings on girls seem fine, but those trashy hoop earrings are just irritating.

Alright, what the fuck.

Have all men turned gay?

Earrings doesnt concern me, just dont overdo it.

The last thing for me I look at on a woman is her fingernails. However I personally dislike how long nails and earrings are grouped together like people who have long nails will generally have earrings as well. Usually guys who have long nails do so for a practical reason such as the above stated for guitar. I also very rarely have ever seen a guy with long nails it's just one of those things guys take care of regularly. Earrings on guys is one of those things that don't bother me and I'd categorize those and tattoos together rather than earrings and long nails.

I'm not categorising them together, I just put it into one topic to minimise clutter and get the most out of people's opinions.

The only thing I don't like is fake nails on women, tbh. If I see long nails on a guy, and it's not just one hand for classic guitar, the assumption is usually that he has bad hygeine :/

I think long nails are very unsightly on men. A lot of Asian men purposely have a very long pinky nail. And it's for the purpose of picking their nose, so its always a pleasure to shake their hands. When I see long nails, my first reaction is "unkempt and dirty", as short nails are much more hygienic.

Same applies x2 for toenails. Long dirty toenails are extremely gross.
too easy

Exactly this. Earrings and long nails are a homosexual trait. I was told men wear an earring on their left ear to signify they are gay.

why's that? do you get manicures as well? or do you just do a minor trim? how can growing out something be non-masculine? is sabertoothe(or avalanche or w/e his name is) feminine? do men have to wax their legs now to not be gay? I thought that was the female thing to do...What about all those cavemen, are they really woman-like since they have long nails and hair all over the place?

long fingernails are just gross and look stupid when you got no real white fingernails but this seethrough stuff.

Concerning the earrings there is a running joke in germany that when a man has an earring in his left ear he is gay so no thanks to earrings too

I used to have long nails on my right hand for playing classical guitar.
The only other reason I can think of having long nails as a male is for cutting your skin in jail to insert drugs...

Earrings, I don't care either way.

I hate responses like this. Long nails are a tool of the trade for classical or flamenco guitarists- nothing to do with sexual preferences. Even if they don’t play and have long nails... I really don’t see how you can judge them so. :/

Personally I don't approve of long nails or earrings, unless the earrings look really really really good on that person. Wrong person using earrings = appears kind of stupid.
More fluff to the people
