I used to give my ex his and put clear nail polish on his nails, which he was fine with and didn't consider "too pretty," but he thought it's too "pretty" to walk into a nail saloon to get them done (never understood the difference). When I see guys with nice hands and feet with clear nail polish, I always think they are well taken care of. However, I have heard guys saying manicures and pedicures for guys are totally "gay."
What are your thoughts?

Maybe it varies state by state, but I have seen grown, masculine, professional men with clear nail polish, it's pretty common actually. And when I get my nails done, I would say 25% of the customers are regular (straight) men.

It's funny how people who don't get them think mani/pedis are only cutting nails and washing feet LOL

At the barber shop my husband frequented there was a manicurist. He would get his nails done and cuticles removed every other week with his haircut. He kept himself groomed for his law practice. I used to complain his grooming cost less than mine for the same services.

Manicures For Men

I honestly don't understand why either sex gets manicures and pedicures. It seems like such an unnecessary expense to me. I used to go around and around with an old neighbor of ours on this topic. She and her husband were always complaining that they couldn't afford to pay their utility bills but she never, ever missed her appointments to get her nails done. Anyone can give themselves a professional manicure for nearly free. This is one of those new service industries like lawn care that were extremely rare not very long ago when measured in old people years.

Men deserve to feel they have pretty hands and feet, too!! LOL So what. It's another way for a man to get attention. God bless them if that's what they want. And I know a LOT of straight men who get manicures & pedicures (and I know several who should, tee hee) so I don't think it's a gay thing. Some men just "think pretty."

If you want a boyfriend so bad, then I highly recommend following this https://bitly.im/aOm2S Since you've never dated or been kissed before, it's going to be hard to get a boyfriend if you don't know what to do but once you know what to do, you'll be able to get a boyfriend pretty easily and can share your dating stories with your friends and experience those feelings yourself. You'll even be able to attract guys you might feel is out of your league. I suggest going on a bunch of dates before choosing one guy to be your boyfriend. Have fun.

My Dad gets very simple, no-frills manicures at a local nail salon. He's a real estate agent, and he has to look good! No polish or anything like that, he just gets his hands spiffed up a bit. I can assure you that my Dad is a very manly guy, but he recognizes that no one wants to buy a house from a guy whose hands make him look like he's a farmer in his spare time.

Men's manicures are required on the executive level. I like them but I don't know about polish. A buffed shine is good!

I think it's a good idea and not gay at all. It's about personal hygene. God knows some guys do need them. I just don't think I would like my guy to join me while i'm getting mine. That's my time away from him.

If a man wants to get them, that's his prerogative. Do I find it attractive? No. Just keep 'em clipped is all I ask. They don't have to be shapely or shiny with no cuticles showing.
