Long nails and the difference between men and wome
Typing this cautiously with freshly painted nails and I got to thinking while I painted them – why long nails?Originally they were worn by men as a sign of privilege, you had people to do things for you so you grew your nails to show you were far too rich to have to work. Over time it has become attractive for men to have short well-kept nails, and it is women who want longer nails. I keep mine quite long and curse if I break one and have to cut the whole lot down because suddenly I struggle to pick things up
NOT as long as this! These are horrendous!
How many women would be slightly freaked if the man they met on a blind date had long painted nails? I don’t even like the long pinky nail some men insist on.
Better, or worse, though, than bitten nails? 
Made me wonder if there are other things that women do that men would like to do? Or, for that matter, that they wish women wouldn’t do

What's the highest heel on a cowboy boot, though? 2 inches?
It's bad enough being a ginge without subjecting others to translucent eyelashes and brows too.
Oh, is that the time??
I'd better leave now...pronto?!
They do have to master the strut, to make it flare out at the back. No slinking along when you're dressed to catch all eyes.
Any chance of your wise Irish input in the double-standard questions?
Oh man, eyebrow plucking. Seriously, any guys mind if we quit that?
For example, I still like a man to offer to pay for the first dinner date.
I will offer to go Dutch (and mean it), but probably wouldn't date him again if he accepted.
I do not pluck, I use a lawn strimmer, much more effective on manly bushy eyebrows, I dont mind women who dont pluck, but draw the line at a monobrow like this beauty below.
I dont mind if a woman does not pluck as long as she has no monobrow.
All the rest partially serious except for painting my nails.
When we lived on a smallholding with horses and a bunch of other animals requiring lots of hard work that had to change, showers became the order of the day, and more frequent.
Luck of the draw, though, some start to pong within hours.
Tru, I would like to point out the Biff is totally gorgeous too, she has the figure of a supermodel and has a voice like liquid silk, she has more fashion sense than anyone else in Europe, She is an accomplished author and supports her local charities.
I have never put nail polish on them I choose to leave them plain.
Never got into the salon nails thing, the damage that does is unbelievable! Thin weak nails with the strength of paper, once you start you either have to keep going for life or expect to wait months for them to get back their strength.
Don't renew it for as long as you can, and use oil on your nails and cuticles daily
I suspect you're right. You must look like a regular wild man of Borneo though.
Anyway my nails are dry now, I'm armed, let the Biff bashing continue.
Biff looks exactly like her pics here on this site, and she is pretty too
Tru, I dont believe that at all, I was due a correctomy anyway!.
Here's a pic of my 'guitar pickin' nails
And were as funny and witty as you are on here.
I loved your accent.
Oh, and you are tall too
