It takes a lot to gross me out, but long nails is definitely my weakness. In fact, I can barely stand nails that exceed the finger by more than a few centimeters - I don’t know if I could date a woman with anything longer.
Also, am I the only guy that hates painted nails as well? I find it to be a huge turnoff. Even worse is when the paint start chipping - ugh.
Just keep them short and natural girls!
Aaaagghhh… that’s an aspect that hadn’t occurred to me. :: shudder :: Those pics remind me of the house centipede or whatever it was in the MMP.
I like fingernails short, round, and tidy. Unpainted is ideal, but I don’t care that much about that. Modest backscratcher length–say, 2 or 3 mm beyond the point where the nail leaves the fingerbed–is okay. Anything linger, I start to worry about structural soundness, at the least.
I had gone into a fast food place one day to grab something quick to eat, and as the girl behind the counter took my burger out of the slide I happened to see up under her 2-3 inch long flashy fake nails. I accepted my bag, asked to speak to a manager and asked for a refund. When he asked why, I asked him to look under her nails. When he did, I asked him if he was willing to eat anything she had handled.
He gave me my money back. I swear, there were things growing under there.
