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 laugh

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. uh oh 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 laugh

I've had long nails for many years, but when I was a teenager, I was a nail biter lol......after I had gotten pregnant years ago and taken prenatal vitamins, they grew like crazy so I just kept them long. But dating my Egyptian friend, he asked me to keep them short, because things got a little painful blushing giggle rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
This is them now..........I still do keep them short

Yes that's right Biff, they're generally not more than two inches.

They hide in shoe lifts well though, and seem to be more popular among shorter men.


I wore them a lot as as a kid. Messed up me feet keeping them too long, all my toes point down except the big one.laugh


I feel awkward in them as an adult. I'm 6'2 barefoot which makes me usually the tallest person in the room as it is. I haven't owned a pair since my twenties. The last pair were snakeskin of course, like any proper villain. grin
Ocee, meet Molly.

Molly, meet Ocee.

You look awesome together! Hang on, let me back up a bit, getting a crick in my neck ...
