i like it medium short as in like a week after i cut em. Long nails are just so tedious in many ways.
Earrings i actually like em. It can be bad or good just like haircuts.

Nope, I don't wear my nails long, don't have ears pierced and don't care if other guys do. And this is coming from a guy who has pretty long hair.

I work alot with my hands so my nails never get the chance to grow very long.
Earrings, well. I don't wear any myself, but I guess some guys can sport them without looking girly.
Gravity is just a theory anyway.

I don't see much utility in either. Long nails does not necessarily mean strong nails, and the only thing I could see a gauged earlobe being useful as would be a padlock holder.

Earrings are cool in the right amount.

Long nails are only cool if they stem from a lack of care.

People are reading too much into physical appearances and how they represent manliness. It's not even physical appearances as a whole, but taking these exact aspects out of context of the whole look. Have you ever met someone who would otherwise be attracted to you, if not for your choice in accessories or fingernail length? I think real (or alpha) males will style themselves however they feel comfortable, and sure as hell not going to be self-conscious of how other people think.

I still don't understand this whole tendency for conformity. As human males, we want to attract "high valued" women to further increase the chance of healthy children. But if you are going around mirroring yourself to this stereotypical image of a man created by society, how are you going to differentiate yourself from ever other average joe out there doing the exact same thing?

Oh and don't say your swag or charisma will win the female's heart. If you are stressing over the fact that you need a certain look or style to even begin to attract women, then you probably don't have that swag or charisma. If you choose not to wear earrings or have long nails because the reason is that you would look less manly, that's basically saying you are not manly enough to overpower this slight aspect in your physical appearance. It's not like you are wearing a bra and dress.
Follow in the footsteps of others, until you are good enough to make footsteps of your own.

Dudes can have earrings. No problems with that.

But I have long been averse to long fingernails. They look so unpleasant to me! It's also a specific issue of mine that I associate long fingernails with increased vanity. Honestly, I have never looked at a person's hand and thought, "well, that could look better with long fingernails". I have never been bothered, and indeed, I take no notice at all of them, by short fingernails.

I play violin, so even though i tend not to clip my nails regularly, if they get too long it becomes impossible to play properly. Its unhealthy to keep one's nails long since lots of dirt and bacteria can get underneath them, and then into your food when you eat

The only thing i can see long nails being useful is for scratching your back, nothing else. Maybe snorting blow. :D. but earings don't really care about. Have a couple friends that have gauges, and wear some small diamond ones, but nothing too fancy or too out there

Seriously dislike long fingernails, u cannot do any team sport with those!!! Would rip some skin open or break your nails

Earrings...i can handle them, but i wouldnt wear one, i just think they look a bit akward.

earrings are way worse then long fingernails. at least nails can have some functionality while earrings are only about fashion/looks

Earings at least look good on some men, fingernails makes them look like a witch

your emotional scars carved by witches are not my problem and using your fears to logically justify smth is ... meh. (lol)
also, men are not supposed to look good (accesory-wise)

tell me what function do long nails serve? other than breaking?

well fingerpicking a guitar, nosepicking and that just to mention some that ppl aready posted about but you can start from poking your aggressor eyes out and go wild from there!

also to note: only people that work (out) break their nails!. someone else already mentioned in here that a long pinky nail is a social status statement (somewhere) and he seems to have a point.


Blow your nose, use a pick, and i tell you, getting poked in the eye with or without nails hurt just as much. Done, done and done.

Sure if it's some sorta social thing, but still.

earrings are fine, you can even look pretty dope if you can pull them off so it definitely requires some style to pull it off.

long fingernails um no makes your hands look effeminate.

sorry but your hands look like hobbit hands

Honestly, every person I notice with long fingernails is either just not a clean person in general appearance or comes off as very awkward to be around.

I find it to be rather disgusting. But probably because its not the norm is the united states.
