This experience may be more of a guy thing of not paying attention. Do you find your fingernails sometimes suddenly get way too long? It's as if they were just fine moments ago and now need to be cut desperately.

I don't know if this is sexist of me, but I ABHOR longer than absolutely SHORT nails on a man. This should be in that other thread about "petty reasons you wouldn't date somebody." If I met a man who was all that and a bag chips and had one or more long fingernails, it just wouldn't happen.

A friend's husband has one long nail and the rest are not exactly short. It's gross.

They grow about the rate of hair. If I were a man, I'd keep the clippers visible and would do it every time I shaved -- or at least every weekend.

@astrochuck I am seriously laughing!! That is the BEST kind of wit! Good for you! Wish I could think quickly like that.

And their growth is uneven. I'll clip all my nails on both hands that show any length at all, then a few days later notice that the nails on one hand need clipping again while those on the other hand are still fine.

I always hope that some day I'll catch them in the act of growing. I may have to be sneakier than I have to date to do so, though. Maybe if I glance at them quickly in a mirror I can catch them unaware.

YES!!!! About once a week, and I almost need bolt cutters.

@astrochuck a chainsaw did come to mind between the growth rate and strength of them, I think that is part of the problem, they don't wear down. Glad I am not a chewer, I would break my teeth.

All the freaking time! Women envy my nails.

@astrochuck I, and other women I know, always check out a man's nails and hands. Yes, well-groomed hands are definitely a plus! (Of course, this, as with anything I say, is MY opinion.) 🙂

Yes. I see that you are 65 years old. I am 80 and it is because time seem to pass so quickly for us older folks.

No sir! I keep a very close eye on my fingernails; clean them probably 2 or 3 times/day. Now, toenails; ahhh, different story--outta sight, outta mind.

ALMOST my kinda nail man!!! LOL! Try a pedicure! It feels great; guys are getting them more and more and the time; AND gross toenails and unkempt feet on men are.....well.....gross. I'm not averse to feet in general -- unless they are not part of regular hygiene.

@BlueWave my toes/toenails aren't unattended, or gnarly, or anything, I just don't trim the nails as often as the ones on my fingers.

@Condor5 Have you ever had a pedicure?

@BlueWave no, I have not. Not sure I'd feel comfortable with someone else fiddling with my lower digits.

@Condor5 Well, if you are not completely against somebody touching your feet, I cannot recommend that you at least consider grabbing a book or your smart phone, some comfy pants and give it a try. I've never met anybody -- except those who are extremely ticklish -- who doesn't like a pedicure -- man and woman.

@BlueWave I will seriously consider that, my friend. Thank you for the advice.
