fake, painted and long nails look horrible on women. amirite?

I'm not sure where you're getting 90% from. I'm a woman, and I actually keep my nails quite short. I think super long nails look hideous personally. They also seem very unsanitary, so this is not an unpopular opinion with me.

Yeah maybe 1/10 women has them I feel. I think they're dope but I couldn't maintain it

I just got the percentage off a google search a while ago, nice too see you have similar opinions.

I just got the percentage off a google search a while ago, I don't believe you at all. There are too many careers that require short nails for that stat to be true. T

I have my nails done every 3 weeks, I don't have fake nails, just my own painted with decent nail varnish. I find it strange that something I do for myself could strike such annoyance in someone like you. Lol why is your preference paramount?

Women do it for themselves/status symbol

by No-Mousse 2 weeks ago

Interesting 🧐 I wouldn't say nails are a wealthy symbol or status and there are certainly mobility issues. I just can't seam to understand the benefits.

by kochsigmund 2 weeks ago

Not needing to work with your hands is absolutely a status symbol. Much like tanned skin indicates you could go on a sunny vacation. I would never get long nails myself. But that's what it means

I work in a factory and wear long nails, this is just BS lol

by Amina35 2 weeks ago

I believe you, but I'm shocked they allow that.

by No-Mousse 2 weeks ago

I've only ever worked in factories & none of them have had an issue. I think factories that deal with any type of food production is where the hard no would come from

by Amina35 2 weeks ago

as someone whos worked in the food service industry awhile, if you wear gloves while handling the food they dont care🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you. I work ALL day with my hands and have never had any issues. While we're here I can also wipe my ass perfectly fine. These people are ridiculous.

by Immediate_Post_8271 2 weeks ago

Anytime someone asks me how I wipe, I ask them if they scratch their asshole to wipe when they have natural nails. They usually get it then lol🤣

by Amina35 2 weeks ago

They probably do wipe like that though😆 Dumb mfs

Perception isn't reality. People believe it because they make that assumption. It's like buying a designer bag.

I'm not sure I understand your example. Tan is not based on temperature of the air, neither do women not use their hands.

by kochsigmund 2 weeks ago

Going on vacations to tropical regions causes tans typically because they are in direct sunlight. Being on those vacations means you aren't working, a symbol of status, that you are wealthy and have it made. That's biologically attractive. The long nails are making it so you can't use your fingers for anything. Being unable to use your hands is like a symbol that you don't work a job, something that needs coordination and finger articulation. Another symbol of wealth. It's biologically attractive. Men are attracted to people their society sees as unavailable to them and are well off. It's a way for men to not want to give up easily on trying to woo someone, for better or worse. And yeah, long nails make it hard to pick up coins, but that's not the focus or what most people consider

What are the benefits of piercings, tattoos, or nail polish? There aren't any lol people just think they look good.

90% is a wild percentage. As a nail tech of 9 years, 9/10 most women have fairly natural length nails even if they are artificial nails. Undoubtedly, women don't get their nails done for men. You men might think that we do but we seriously don't.

Well, good thing we don't do it to be attractive to men

I think it's fine to have that opinion, but also understand that women don't typically do their nails to please men. It's cool to have a preference, but really, it's not about you at all.

by davin60 2 weeks ago

This is a popular opinion for every guy I know! I understand that women wear them for themselves (or other women), but it's a turn off for many guys.

by Caliherzog 2 weeks ago

They look hot on men though

by Cheap_Appearance7934 2 weeks ago

90% of women are not wearing fake nails, let alone super-long noticeably-fake nails. At least not in the US. If you're talking about those ghetto, long-ass nails that look like onion rings, yes those are hideous. But I can't remember the last time I saw anyone wear those.

by Living_Counter6672 2 weeks ago

My husband hates long nails that's why he doesn't have them. As for me, I get my claws done every other week.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

I prefer them on men, tbh

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

I remember Trisha Paytas saying on a podcast that she has to wrap her hand in toilet paper a certain way so she doesn't get poop in her nails when wiping. Ew! I keep my nails healthy and natural at a reasonable length in neutral colors

by Thompsoncarley 2 weeks ago

90% of women do not have long fake nails lol. But I do agree they usually don't look better than regular nails, plus they got poop under them

by Weary-Albatross5450 2 weeks ago

I think in concept they look elegant but it also tells me a little about the person's life style and how much they use their hands for things. I'm an artist and I could never give up those fine motor skills for the aesthetics of decorated nails, not even for a day. I think understanding that it's a full blown life style choice not just a simple aesthetic thing you wear like your favorite hoodie, is important

by Adorable_Ticket 2 weeks ago

Fake everything is a status symbol.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

It's a way to say that you're rich and don't work. I couldn't imagine trying to keep any job where you have to work with nails like those. I see people struggle to use their phones with their velociraptor claws.

by Icy_Cartographer566 2 weeks ago

I wouldn't say most women, but I do see it more often of women from a specific demographic and I'm not a fan. Not that I really care (or them either) since it's their body, their rules.

by Prosacconeil 2 weeks ago

Why do people always throw out 90% when referring to something they see people doing often? Like is that the magic number? Do yall even know how much 90% of one gender is?

Yea well I cant stand when men wear polo shirts, its disgusting, but im not ranting about it.

by Idanicolas 2 weeks ago

Theres really no way to tell if someone has fake nails really unless they're crazy long (like, maybe an inch or longer?) which is pretty rare, or they have a bad nail tech. I have decently long "natural" (I reinforce them for strength) nails and I do them for me because I have fun doing them, I like they way they look, and they make my nails less likely to break. I actually don't know any woman who cares about what men think of their nails, because I think it's common knowledge that men (in general) don't care for it.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

I don't mind nail polis, nor fake nails, but I do have to admit that I've never understood the point of getting fake nails so long that they look longer than your actual finger.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

"90% of the female population"? "Unnatural colors"? It's nowhere near 90% and short nails can be painted unnatural colors, too.

by Yswift 2 weeks ago

I don't think it needs to be said, I also think they look terrible, but if they're happy with it and they like how they look what's the issue?

by DuckOk8903 2 weeks ago

I used to feel this way. I still kinda do. Now I realize, it's about flaunting money.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

As a man if they are so long they impede personal hygiene while using a toilet than yeah gross. If they are right length I love it. I am good for a nice happy medium stiletto style nails, rawr lol

by Mina37 2 weeks ago

I loved getting them before my nail tech moved away. They were never a mobility issue, the length and shape helped me. They're like little tools

Okay but what is your opinion on those fake nails on men?

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

Honestly, all fake nails look bad.

by Stokesrey 2 weeks ago

As a woman, I think excessively long nails look revolting! I don't mind colors, but anything too long is just not attractive. I like to keep mine very short, and I'm just too lazy to paint them! I'd rather spend my extra money on video games instead of manicures! LOL

by einarbartell 2 weeks ago

My honest opinion? Those long fake nails look so ugly!!! They also kind of gross me out and some people can't do anything with them on. Like don't get them if you can't do everyday tasks. That's just stupid. I'd much rather just grow my nails out and take care of them.

by Jonesmyles 2 weeks ago

I like having painted natural-length nails (with non-toxic polish) but the fake ones are also not to my taste.
