My wife usually convinces me to go with her a couple of times per year.

Those little Asian girls always seem to have a "Why ME?" face when they get one look at my big gnarly feet...😱 and if it's summertime, my feet usually have some nasty cracked calluses...and the look of horror on their faces is usually well worth the cost. 😛

The girls do a good job however, (considering what they have to work with) and my feet look better, feel better, and I can choose whatever color of nail polish I want!!:awe:🙄

I have to admit...I get lots of strange looks....from the ladies who work there as well as from the ladies who are customers, although not as strange as when I had the long hair and beard...()🙂
 
I'm not afraid of them, I just don't want one. When we go on vacation, my wife is all about the pedicures and massages and tries to get me to come along. I'm indifferent to getting my feet rubbed and don't particularly like being touched by strangers. I also fidget a lot and sitting completely still sort of annoys me and the people that expect me to sit still. Throw in that it costs money and you can count me out. It doesn't seem like torture, but I wouldn't really count it as a fun time.

At any rate, I have naturally beautiful feat, especially for a man. No real care is required, short of cutting the nails.
 
It isn't just a fancy toenail polishing. . . I got one last night, and it was more a massage for my calves and my feet. She had me soak my legs in a whirlpool bath with fine sand laden oils in it, and then the massaging with different creams and oils began. It was an hour from start to finish!

I could easily have a pedicure a few times a week, if it was feasible!

So, why are guys afraid to have pedicures? For guys, besides the awesome foot/calf muscles massage, it would also get rid of that rough skin on your feet, trim back your cuticles, and calluses too. Maybe guys wouldn't be afraid to wear sandals then. 😱

I've had a few, not something I would do alone but definitely a great relaxing date.

I would say, "marry me", but I don't swing that way. 😉

Have you seen pictures of her?


Does it tickle?

Tickled me a little at times, but I'm ticklish there anyway. It was a only a light tickle 😱

Yeah that's about right. Definitely times where I almost kicked the girl but I resisted.
 
it was alright, doesn't care too much about the foot massage though, maybe because I sit all day and dont usually walk around =PPP
 
I gave my wife a spa day a few years ago, and she came home with a rash on her ankles and feet from whatever they had her soaking in. This was a very classy place but She asked me not to ever give her that gift again.
 
I have a hard time cutting my own toe nails because I am so self-ticklish so I may go at some point to get them cut nice and evenly.
 
I think I speak for myself when saying that, I don't put extra time and money into a part of my body women don't put their mouths on. Never had complaints about my feet, cause I wear socks ALL the time.

If I wanna "feel good", I drink a few beers and play some mini shuffle board at my local bar. Or I have sex.

I don't really knock getting a pedicure, if it is what makes you happy do it. But I would guess most men have more important things to think about then their feet.

Pedicure. lol. Not that I was curious what women do between sammich making and ironing, but I guess now I know.

/win! lol.


fwiw, my ex went to cosmetology school long ago, so i was the subject of many pedicures, manicures, nail sets, haircuts and various other things they decided i should be the subject of when "studying" for their classes. there are no pictures.

there's no "win" in what he said. sounds like the musings of a total loser.

lies there are always pictures
 
So, would I have to shave the hairs off my toes before getting the pedicure?

Ugh, I have this too. Honestly I'd probably be too self concious to get a pedicure. When you are out and about and doing things all day as opposed to standing around barefoot in the kitchen cooking meals, your feet get pretty gnarley.
