Hey OT,

I was in the office yesterday and me a the guy's were talking about going to the spa (with our ladies of course) which led to a conversation about manicures.

Both of the guys i was talking to have both had manicures. I grew up in a house with me, my father and two brothers, im pretty sure the word manicure has never been used in my house.

What about the guys of OT. Have you ever had a manicure?

No, because I'm a real man, and real men spend all day fighting bears and attatching rockets to bumper cars. If we do have time to wash we do it as extreme as possible by only having the hot water on, exfoliating with a meat tenderiser and rinsing our hair with gorilla testosterone.

Since I'm not a guy, I'll answer that I don't think it's feminine or wrong for a male to do it at all. I watched a video on youtube of a guy getting a pedicure, and basically all it is is they clean your hands or feet, massage them, apply lotion to them and cut, shape and paint your nails. usually guys don't get them painted, but basically the whole thing is just a good cleaning of your gross nails and a hand or foot massage. Nothing wrong with that.

you can get the sealant done in clear coat, yes. Nobody will really notice if it's not super shiny clearcoat.

Male manicures would probably be better than how I treat my fingernails. >_>

Yeah, it's pretty weird. I think it's unecessary for women to do it (never got what's appealing about it...) so if a man started doing it, well, he would receive an endless ribbing by anyone that's not a woman.

its ok imo. its a little odd- only if yanno.. he gets em painted... >_> but then again some guys like that and who am i to judge?. You know pedicures for guys... thats actually a REALLY good thing if the guy has stinky feet. Helps get rid of the dead skin (which is the stuff that makes em stink). Its a good treatment for soldiers with trenchfoot actually. *gags*

To me it is weird. I do my own nails and they turn out just fine. I find there is no need for someone to do them for me.

I've had a pedicure... and thought it was fantastic. I'd say a man is more manly and secure in his sexuality if he can get a mani/pedi without concerning himself how it will make him "look" to other men/women.

My favourite part was the foot/leg massage. For someone who spends a lot of time on his feet walking everywhere, it was incredibly relieving. I just wish they didn't cost so much.

it sounds weird but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing.

a good foot massage and somebody cutting and or cleaning my toenails sounds good right about now. :P

I won't so far as to say it's weird, but it's definitely not for me.

Manicures and pedicures tend to be given by women, so....a man sits back and relaxes while a woman services him... and you're questioning his manhood? Was Caesar's manliness questioned when slavegirls fanned him with palm branches and fed him grapes?

I see no problem with it. It's relaxing and keeps your feet/hands cleaner. Once you actually start painting nails though....Then yeah, that's a bit weird to me.

This, start to finish. Nothing wrong with a little personal care. In fact, I encourage it to everyone.

Well, technically yes because my friends mom does it for a living and she wanted her mom to do it to me, but I was in grade eight or something like that.

My dad got a pedicure and he said it felt nice. I see a lot of men having pedicures too. Never manicures though, I can imagine why :P

I think it's out of the norm, but not really weird. Clean, trim nails are always nice to look at on anyone. Admiteddly however, I'm not so into a shiny gloss on a man's nails.

no. Just no. That is just weird. Yesterday I talked to a girl about it, she was talking to some other girl about a manicure and said she goes to a certain place, then I just jumped in and said I go to the same place, just joking. She knew I was joking cause I always have short dirty nails cause I work on cars, and she was all like, "Very funny, but you should go there sometime, you could still get like a pedicure", I was like, "no thats just weird, I'm a guy", but she's like "no I dont think its weird for a guy". I've known her for almost 5 years, so I know her pretty good. She's hot, and from a rich family, into pretty jock guys, so its interesting that she doesn't think a guy getting a manicure is weird for a guy or anything.
