It is okay for a guy to use a buff kit and have shiny nails in just the same way it is okay for a guy wear a rainbow bandana.

 
Metrosexual: (noun) Of or pertaining to a straight, urban male who is eager to embrace and even show off his feminine side, especially when it comes to expensive haircuts, designer suits, and $40 face cream.
-From Netscape Celebrity

The kind of guy who paints his nails, wears flip-flops, owns a lot of shoes, takes an hour to do their hair etc. but is not really gay.

Great.. Now I have this image in my head of someone breaking out the Dremel, putting on the buffing wheel, and going to town...

Why the hell would you come to such a conclusion. Its not about my personal life, its about you and your girl getting together and painting eachothers nails. Got it?
 
Where I used to work some of the women would comment that I have nice hands. Somehow they manage to stay soft through all of my working with paper and tools all day long. I would never do anything to my finger nails other than clean them though, that just seems pointless.
 
Who's to decide what is ok for a guy to do? I find it helps me when the girlfriend gets jealous about stuff like me letting an ex move in. One, it was her idea to let her move in since she was being beaten by her hubby, and two, I wear nail polish on my toes because of foreplay with my current girlfriend. If I was out on the prowl, the polish would be the first thing to go.

Yeah, I have nice nails but I don't "Bling-a-fy" them with gloss or whatever the heck you call it.


It's not like he's got a spot light coming from his hands - it's so dull i wouldn't even call it a shine.

You're right. Whatever works.

Heck, my nails are painted blue. It's a ritual that my g/f and I do. I paint hers, she paints mine. Kinda like foreplay. ;-) Everyone that sees them (guys) thinks "Damn, WTF is that all about?" But I'm sure they don't have the great sex life I do with my honey.

Rich

Hey, me too....at least toenails. 🙂
 
Yeah, Amish. Toenails are as far as I go. If she wants me to do the fingernails, well... she will just have to ante up. What else she could possibly do, I don't know...lol

What have we become men? I remember a day when men didn't cry, didn't hug each other. When it was ONLY okay to smack another guys butt if you were a professional football player. Hair cut was ten bucks tops and that was if you went all out because it was your wedding. One maybe two pairs of shoes for work and a pair of boots or sneakers for working at home that?s all. Men wore suits or jeans not designer Diesel Jeans. If you didn't shave today it didn't matter, you are a man and it made you look manlier!

Who's with me MEN! Throw away your nail buffing kits, your extra shoes, your flared jeans. Stand tall and don't cry no matter what! FIRMLY shake the hand of another guy and feel slightly uncomfortable that you actually touched him to too long. Go out and cut the grass, or build something with power tools! Use a hammer or better yet air compressor nail gun! Change the oil in your car and your wife's and time yourself. When you come home from work yell, "honey I'm home! Where's my f-ing dinner!" Kick the cat open a beer and turn on the TV.

Repeat after me, I AM A MAN!!!

Oh shoot! I'm late for my pedicure!
