Hi everyone, i am straight male, 16 yrs old, and i like to paint my nails a clear polish. I keep them well kept. So far no one has said anything to me about them in school but i did notice one of the guys in one of my classes followed my example. I saw him wearing clear nail polish too, which i thought was kind of neat, to quite possibly lead a revolution of nail polish on guys. What are your ideas on all of this?

Straight men never used to take purses. Now you see bags men carry. When I was young no straight male would wear earrings.
Now some men use makeup as well. Clear nail polish can keep things neat. But I'll clue you in on something: get a manicure and have clear polish put on. It will last a very long time.
You can buy your own buffer and nail kit. Sometimes just buffing gives as much sheen as clear polish.

There is nothing wrong with you wearing clear nail polish. I wish more men gave a crap about there nails, like keeping them clean and trimed with nail trimmers not by bitting them.

Now I feel old. I guess I'm old fashioned. I don't think I could ever be attracted to a male who painted his fingernails. Get a buffing kit. It will make your nails shiny and smooth without paint. Kind of fun to do too.

Its fine, but next time buy a buffer. A buffer makes your nails really shiny without wearing nail polish and they work great!

i think its cool that you arent afraid to try new things and that you care about how you look. but i do think wearing nail polish goes a bit too far.... its like guys wearing tight pants... its just not something i find attractive.

What is the point of painting your nails?It has nothing to do with being gay or straight, it just doesn't really serve any purpose for a guy. Maybe you should get a French manicure for Winter Formal?

I don't know that 'metrosexuality' is a revolution.
The advice to buff is good. Nail polish chips, and does not look good unless very, very well-maintained -- and 'high maintenance' anything is rarely attractive.

I think it demonstrates a great deal of self-respect. My father kept his hands and nails well groomed and in my interpretation it says quite simply. "I care about taking good care of myself. I'm not a sloppy person."

good on you, it's nice to see a chap look after himself and well kept hands and nails is good so long as the nails are short.
