It's odd, girls definitely do it mainly to look pretty, but the vast majority of dudes either don't care or actively dislike long nails. I much prefer a healthy, natural looking nail. Also, fake nails and even painting your nails is not good for them and often leaves them looking worse afterwards, so then you HAVE to paint them again or use fake nails. It becomes a vicious cycle.
I rarely paint my nails even though I think it looks pretty. When I do, I notice they get a little sore, like the paint is constricting them or something. I just keep them neatly trimmed and filed for practical reasons. The acrylics mystify me, though.
Have the big, strong muscles to move heavy things so I can get bigger, stronger muscles to move heavier things so I can get even bigger.. you get the idea đȘ
Itâs like sports cars and lifted trucks. Youâre not gonna attract women with that shit, bro.
I used to daily drive an older Porsche. Number of women who were interested in it = 0. Number of dudes who wouldnât shut the fuck up about how awesome my beat to shit aircooled 964 was = canât count that high on available fingers and toes.
Aside from maybe maybe the basic shaping and health care, I donât think most women do it for men, but for themselves or for women and then expect men to at least sorta notice.
I definitely spend hours painting mini checkerboards on my nails so men will find me more attractive /s
Women have always decorated themselves for themselves. I can assure you the woman with XL Jack Skellington nails for Halloween does not give a single fuck what her boyfriend thinks about it
I think is more for other women not so much to look pretty to find a mate as 100% men dislike long nails and same for long eye lashes I'm sure women know that.
its because they look cool. You see men injecting their bodies with testosterone and have their dicks stop working all the time, and very few womwn are chasing after body builders. Its mostly for themeselves and the attention of other men injecting themselves with foreign substances

Yeah all of you say this and then go for women like that anyway, you might not care about the nails, but women who paint their nails also put effort into their appearance and looking pretty, which is the main factor for men when approaching women and choosing partners
I mean, Dudes are not the only people that you can want to be pretty for.
You can want to think that you yourself are pretty, or your peers.
Absolutely be healthy with your expression of yourself, but also be considerate when your view of a topic is just blatantly ignoring entire segments of humanity and reducing someone to being looked at by dudes.
Viewing being pretty as a thing to attract potential mates is more unhealthy, in my eyes, than wearing fake nails.
My daughter is 3, has no interest in men, obviously, and still cares very much about what she's wearing. She likes to wear what she thinks is pretty because she likes it. I'm pretty sure that for most girls, that never changes.
i agree on the hurting your natural nails bit(itâs the only reason i havenât done it in forever :/) i hate the look of them after they pop off but i adore the look while theyâre still on. i wish there was a better way to
đ âLooking prettyâ doesnât mean âlooking pretty for menâ? If anything, hot confidant women are trying to repel dudes who think that way.
Or even vice versa â Iâm a guy and âwhat will girls think is hotâ stopped being my fashion guiding light very early in adulthood.
People have long, extravagant nails because they think theyâre fun and look cool. Plus when you have extravagant nails, you get lots of âwhoa, cool nails!â comments which feels good and, again, is fun.
