Painting fingernails black...

scleaves · 04-17-2013, 07:12 AM

Surprisingly, a lot of people are against me, a male, painting my fingernails black. Women have expressed that it is a turnoff. The funny thing is, a lot of women, I have found, find tatoos and earrings to be a turnon.

I have a theory though. A theory that it only sounds weird and then I will do it and people will be like, "Oh, it does look better."

What are your thoughts for a straight male painting their fingernails black?

I associate it with an annoying roommate I had in college but other than that I'm prett neutral on the subject.

I see nothing wrong with it. Steve Stevens (Billy Idol guitarist) has been doing it for like... ever.

No offense, but aside from rednecks and old people I don't think a whole lot of people actually care.

Painting your nails black > earrings > tattoos

Go for it.

More like painting your nails black goes along with earrings and tattoos. If you don't fully commit to that style then just don't do it.

Most likely that's why it's a turn off for the women you are approaching and you are probably approaching the wrong ones.

Na, that's just my opinion on painting your nails black. It doesn't look as stupid as ear piercings and tattoos.

I used to have earrings, they looked stupid so I took em out.

I've rarely seen anyone male with black fingernails who didn't either look like, sound like, or act like, a complete prick. Don't risk it, there are better ways to try and look cool.

As long as you are not asking a woman, (your girl or any random woman) if you can borrow her eye liner you should be fine... because that is unsanitary...

I thought you were gonna say, "Because that would be gay."
