Even if they don’t play and have long nails... I really don’t see how you can judge them so. :/ Their profession requires them to have longer finger nails in order to play well. I believe is talking about 'your average Joe' here. Long finger nails are unsightly on men, genetic deformity or not, it expresses femininity in Western culture and is frowned upon by men. Example: Physical Exercise Risk of injury to the palms of the hands are possible because of long fingernails, during various exercises. I.E. Bench Press (any piece of equipment where you have to grip) Cut your nails OP! <3
Fun fact: Due to my short fingers, any equipment I grip my index finger and thumb don't even come close to touching.
Also, I'm not sure how an injury to the palm would arise from long fingernails while gripping, care to explain?

yeah, shaving your legs is for women
and runners

I think long nails look dumb on women and men, but I really don't apply my thoughts to what everyone else should look like. Everyone should look like whatever the hell they want to, and anyone trying to stop them should be forced to wear unsightly clothing.
Or just punched in the head. That works too.

Um biting your nails gets them short and the reason long nails are not manly is 1) the phrase 'eep, I broke a nail!' does not work well with men and 2) try forming a fist and punching something with long nails- not practical.
And your argument about growing out = man cutting = woman obviously fails for the reason that men cut their hair and women grow theirs out. The guy was right, long finger nails = woman short = man, simple.

There's a point, actually.
What's that talk about inconsistent to each other? it's highly consistent when you're talking about males and what they do regarding what's masculine and what's not, look at the polls.
Illogical? oh please.

It's not, long fingernails mean that the person won't do manual labor(or it's at least a lot more likely that she won't do it). Men had long fingernails as well, chinese nobility for example and they didn't do a damn thing. Dressing themselves? Unlikely.
And the trend these days was started by whores because...it somehow fits(-.-). So a normal girl/woman with such things won't leave a good impression. And even apart from that, it's just gross.

earing i don't see why anyone would want an extra hole in their body.
I keep mine short my nails that is for consideration of my girlfriend. Well i keep them neat i can never really have long fingernails i'll chip and break them throughout a day so i cut them short and keep then neat.

I'm talking about your everday "normal" person, not special cases for different sports.
The far majority however, do not shave their legs.

Back in the day having long nails was common among upper class men to show that they don't have to work with their hands.

It was just an example to show how ridiculous the whole system of judgment is.
But how does it fail again? Oh right, because all men cut their hair, except the men that don't...and the men that didn't used to(Mickey Rourke is pretty manly last i checked, and of course cavemen didn't, and they're a lot manlier than anyone waxing their legs today). The logic just doesn't follow. Why do men cut their hair short? Because of the circular argument that says they cut their hair short because men cut their hair short. That's all anyone who supports this view can come up with.

If your grip slips your fingernails could conceivably cut into your palms, but I agree it's unlikely.
Okay guys simple reason men cut their nails, or at least the reason that makes me remember to more often than not:
Girls do not like being fingered by a guy with long nails especially if he's clumsy or careless because it's really easy for a nail to scrape against the inside of her pussy and it hurts quite a bit. I don't feel like getting yelled at and losing out on sex for the night just because my nails are too long and my hand slipped (hahaha).

That's fine then if you don't want to look at your own points. You said you don't shave your legs, but why then do you cut your hair and shave your beard? What's the difference? If you reply with another tautology, well, that's not an argument.

Dude you have to be pretty badass to pull off having long hair. Or just be a metal fan/ musician. Otherwise, you cut your hair short. I think you're just going to have to accept general consensus opinion, long nails is pretty feminine. Also I reckon the vast majority of women prefer short hair. (No source but meh)

I'd like to point out that this also depends on the culture. I see lots of East Asian men with long hair like Takeshi Kaneshiro here:

We do these things because the majority of women prefer them e.g. most women prefer men with short hair, clean shaven/no facial hair, short nails, no earrings. It's to attract women.

i keep long fingernails on my right hand for guitar, but i usually keep my hand in my pocket in public haha

Long nails on guys isn't feminine. It's usually a sign of bad hygiene or laziness and therefore unfavorable. I'm not saying this is always true. But I think that most people would agree with this generalization.

That's different, obviously, i presume that you live in a modern society.
In your society, do people think that there's a difference in shaving your legs or shaving/cutting your beard and/or hair?
In my own experience and listening to the experience of others, there's been a big difference between the 2 in talk of what's masculine or not.
Just to clarify, the results of those experiences, shaving your legs has been considered something feminine and cutting your hair or beard has not.
