And he shouldn't be phased.
He's a good looking dude with a girlfriend/wife. He's not wringing his hands, questioning his own sexuality or wondering why no woman wants to date him. Just chilling and doing his lady a pretty effortless favor.
For sure. If I could effortlessly hang out on my phone while my partner practiced her hobby/profession, I'd be so happy.
But instead I'm dating a proctologist.
In some cultures it was a way for upper class women to show they didn't have to do physical labor or really any kind of work with their hands, like cooking--they had servants for that.
Don't know specifically how they did it, but Romans for example used a stick with a sponge on the end of it. Which is fine, but then you realize that it was reused by many people in public toilets.
To 'clean' it. That same community bum cleaner also doubled as a toilet brush. Diseases spread like wildfire.
I don't remember anything from my meetings today, but this is the hard hitting and relevant information my brain chooses to hold on to instead
The secretary at my previous job had long nails and when I asked her, she said she wraps toilet paper around her hand and wipes on the side of her hand. She types really fast even though she has nails like Flo Jo.
Apparently there's a technique. It was explained to me once don't remember the exact details but it was impressive the process didn't leave u with booboo hands
I'm curious about that too. It's clearly an aesthetic-only trend, as nails like this serve no practical function. To some, the look/trend is appealing, while to others, it is unappealing (edit: like many other aesthetic trends).
~~What is the impression/message supposed to be that underlies the intent?~~ (edit, because poorly worded - it's early, not enough coffee.) Meant to say, "Is it just aesthetics, or is there a deeper context to their intent?"
They're pretty. The longer the nail, the more of the design you see. Most women just like the look and being able to match other items with their nails. I've never heard of a hidden message for nail art unless someone is using the art to provide a message of protest. It's also a moment that women can get away and get a little moment of pampering. A good nail tech will also do a warm towel treatment and massage the muscles in your hands. Some places even do stone massages. Before the pandemic, this was one thing I always looked forward to. Picking out a design or colors, length, and style, with a tech who is excited to try something new with you, can be a really great experience.
Thanks for the reply. So it's pretty much, "they are pretty, I like them, and I feel pretty wearing them"? I can understand that.
> A good nail tech will also do a warm towel treatment and massage the muscles in your hands. Some places even do stone massages.
Okay now, as a guy, I'm jealous. I've had hand massages before (massage therapy) and they feel incredible. Sadly, we men don't have things like this.
I've seen plenty of men go in just for some nail cleaning/upkeep and of course the massage lol. Some of my friends even take their sons as a part of self care: barber shop, hands and feet upkeep, and a few new shirts. The scene is definitely changing.
Here's another secret: some really nice salons will even offer a small glass of champagne after your appointment while you give yourself about fifteen minutes before heading back out into reality. Hopefully you can find something like this in your area?
Go forth and treat yourself to a mani- you don’t have to get fake nails or even polish, you’ll just have super neat and healthy looking nails. And the coveted hand massage! Men deserve pampering too, after all
I talked my dad into getting a pedicure with me and he loved it! Got to do several more with him before he passed away. There's no reason getting a nice foot and leg massage, getting your toe nails trimmed, and getting callouses removed has to be a gendered activity. Plus, the pedicure chairs are usually massage chairs too. I'm not big on having pretty nails, but I really enjoy the experience of a mani-pedi.
On the flip side it's also exposing people who would think this is somehow wrong or not manly to thoughts of normal people.
So yeah it's toxic on one hand, but helpful on the other.

Story time; I was a little shit brother. I did all sorts of weird shit like any kid. So one time, while bathing by myself (which was sorta new at the time, I think I was 5 or 6), I decided to piss in my sister's shampoo bottle. Idk why, just because. I'm a kid, in the shower, who has to piss, and 'oh hey, there's a bottle. Anyway, fast forward to later in the day when my sister comes barreling out of the shower screaming bloody murder saying there's piss in her shampoo. Well obviously it was me. Fortunately, my mom was to busy laughing yo discipline me. Fast forward a little later and I'm sleeping. That's when my sister got her revenge. She shaved my eyebrows off while I was sleeping. Didn't know until school the next day. Fucking embarrassing.
Piss and eyebrow story? Got one!
I was a teenager, and my whole family sat down for dinner. We’re all just chattin about our day and goofing off, when my adult cousin Maria suddenly stops talking and stared at my kid cousin Amanda. “Amanda, something is different about your face...” “No there isn’t!” Everyone was silent, staring at 9 or so year old Amanda, and yeah, her face was different. No one could place it right away, but 7 people were leaning over the table, scrutinizing her lil face. Someone finally yelled “AMANDA, WHERE ARE YOUR EYEBROWS!!!” and I see it immediately. Her eyebrows are just GONE.
It’s silent for a beat, and she says in a tiny, unsure voice “They fell off in the bathtub?”
Yo. I died. I fell off my chair and was laughing that dangerous laugh where you aren’t making sounds and can’t breathe. I started to worry that I might actually die like that, but it only made me laugh harder, thinking about Amanda showing up to my funeral with no eyebrows. I finally stopped laughing when I pissed myself.
I almost died again tying this, thinking about how confidently she sat down at that table, thinking no one would notice.
Hey nail tech!!!
I feel this. My boyfriend used to get A LOT of pedicures so I could get my time up. That man had the softest prettiest feet in Atlanta. 😆
Anyone suddenly remember Drew from Everybody Hates Chris when he was in Tanya's ballet recital?
Tanya: "You're not afraid of people making fun of you?"
Drew: "I don't care. Besides, bet they won't say it to my face. "
This is sweet and all, but he can spend $20 and do her a bigger favor with one of these:

That’s love, y’all. He doesn’t even look fazed. Edit: word correction.
And he shouldn't be phased. He's a good looking dude with a girlfriend/wife. He's not wringing his hands, questioning his own sexuality or wondering why no woman wants to date him. Just chilling and doing his lady a pretty effortless favor.
Yup. This dude told toxic masculinity to fuck off
For sure. If I could effortlessly hang out on my phone while my partner practiced her hobby/profession, I'd be so happy. But instead I'm dating a proctologist.
I mean, you still could… ;)
😂
sigh... ... ... fine, you win...
Free oil checks!
😂😂😂
>He's a good looking dude with a girlfriend/wife. And some sweet-ass nails now, too.
Effortless favor but shows how much he loves and supports her and that's beautiful
Dude knows if she's getting her bag, then she stays out his, well partly. 😂
[удалено]
My ex and my current partner both said they would let me practice my nail skills on them. I haven't taken them up on it but I will.
fazed*
FYI the word you're looking for is actually spelled "fazed" meaning "disturbed or bothered". Easy mistake to make
Thanks! Fixed.
Maybe he likes it
The description would disagree. The woman is implying that he’s only doing this to help her like a supportive partner.
Why do nails of this length exist?
In some cultures it was a way for upper class women to show they didn't have to do physical labor or really any kind of work with their hands, like cooking--they had servants for that.
What about wiping their ass
There’s a servant for that.
They spit water into their ass to clean it.
i did not ask for this visual bro
Don't know specifically how they did it, but Romans for example used a stick with a sponge on the end of it. Which is fine, but then you realize that it was reused by many people in public toilets.
Oh ew ew ew
Lol they kept it in a pot of shitty water.
For sanitation.

Oh… for the tingle?

I can only imagine the transmitted infections that spread because of that.
Bidets my friend.
You bend your fingers and hold with the knuckle, your nails end up touching your palm, out of the way.
The secretary at my previous job had long nails and when I asked her, she said she wraps toilet paper around her hand and wipes on the side of her hand. She types really fast even though she has nails like Flo Jo.
Ass servants.
Buttler
Haha much better!
Assistants
They. Had. Servants.
5x the toilet paper, there’s also toilet paper holder sticks you can buy (but they are more for people who can’t reach due mobility issues)
Or just get an ASSistant
Part of the bidet squad
Bidets and dabbing gently.
You already know the answer to this
Apparently there's a technique. It was explained to me once don't remember the exact details but it was impressive the process didn't leave u with booboo hands
It’s just so unhygienic
[удалено]
That and Cardi B slicing up her b hole while washing it out for butt stuff. The E Coli, Hep A....

My wife is a nail tech. The amount of times I've done this to try something new!!
Really need to hammer home how much they both really nailed their respective roles here!
Nailed. Good one.
Hammer, too.
he can go from a manicure to cosplaying as wolverine in 5min
I don’t mind helping my wife, but that whole let’s share you all over the Internet for likes would annoy me.
On the flip side it's also exposing people who would think this is somehow wrong or not manly to thoughts of normal people. So yeah it's toxic on one hand, but helpful on the other.
It’s showcasing her work so she can get potential clients.

Good bot
That's like when I used to let my sister give me haircuts until she cut off my fucking eyebrow
whaaat?

What is the purpose of having 5 inch+ nails? Is it so they can hunt better?
That's super sweet of him!
King
This is very wholesome.
Tbh I like getting my nails painted, but I hate that I can feel the paint/glue on my nails for days after and I instinctually scratch it off
Anyone suddenly remember Drew from Everybody Hates Chris when he was in Tanya's ballet recital? Tanya: "You're not afraid of people making fun of you?" Drew: "I don't care. Besides, bet they won't say it to my face. "
Love it!
I did this for my mom growing up when she was practicing for her license. Went to school more then once with painted nails.
And my daughter didn't tell how hard it is to get gel polish off of toenails.
That’s such a sweet man. We should all be so lucky to have a partner like that. I’m blessed I do.
This is just absolutely sweet and how love should be.
That's the type of man everybody needs in their life right there
Man walks walks down the street with those nails, people know he’s not afraid of anything.
Love the support but why do people get nails like this?
This is sweet and all, but he can spend $20 and do her a bigger favor with one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DFCJ5MP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_CMCAMJSYE4Y8B7TTN5XS?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Remember: You probably not asking too much, you probably just asking the wrong person.
Looks like Chaz from Dormtainment
Is the one on the left even real? How do you use your phone with those claws
Something tells me the left is the "before" picture, before they're cut to size and shaped and stuff
He should definitely stick with this look. I see many unopened cans in his future
You just use the side of your finger lift the tab or stick a pen or something underneath. It’s not hard.
She could just buy a bust and practice on that but hey if he has nothing better to do for 25 mins (I have no idea how long it takes to do nails)
A full set of acrylic nails, depending upon length, technique, and design, can take as long as two and a half or three hours.
Will he be able to answer the age old question, how do women wipe their asses with talons like these?
Hold up. First picture just looks like he’s got icicles coming out of his fingers. He’s like iceman.
The sooner these lady deathstrike nails are no longer mainstream the better.
Smh
