Painted finger nails

[okietool]

Is this now a thing with guys? The last two OKC area restaurants I have gone to with the wife, three guys working there have had painted finger nails.

If this is a new thing, I am ready to go into hiding and remove myself from society.

My great granddaughters paint mine. I’m fine with it. But I have to watch my wardrobe I wouldn’t want to clash.

“Around the same time, the Babylonians were getting into the nail game, but it was the warriors who were wearing color. The men pigmented their nails with kohl (finely powdered sulfide) before going into battle. Again, even among these soldiers, class mattered. Higher-class warriors had their nails colored with black kohl, while lower-class fighters used green kohl.”

I could care less if men paint their nails.....I could also care less if men speak out against men who paint their nails. See how that works? There's always opinions for both sides, but if folks are against men painting their fingernails they're supposed to "not get so worked up and just move on?" If folks are pro men painting their nails it's okay to hang around and keep posting? Your post above is opinion, and "nastiness" is relative to the reader. Anyone here on OSA has the right to post and reply with their opinion to any post, for or against, or not reply at all, their choice.

Here's your quote....
"WHO CARES literally about anything someone else chooses for their appearance?"

Here's mine.....
"WHO CARES literally about anything someone else chooses for their opinion on a particular topic. It's just their opinion...."

Awww beans. You caught me posting my opinion while saying I can post my opinion.

I never wanted to paint my fingernails, until this thread. I'm a rebel like that.

Yeah, I may paint mine too. Red White and Blue - three bars, just like the Russian flag. May even add a "Z" in there somewhere.

The only time it's not gay is when catchers paint their nails on their signal hand. I've seen bright fluorescent green or white, so the pitchers and middle infield can see the sign.

“Catchers” are gay by definition. Pitchers aren’t.

One time when I was young some guys at work asked me if I was a pitcher or a catcher just joking around. I didn’t know what it meant. I said, “Both I guess but catching hurts my knees.” Lots of laughs on that one.

Oldest son came in with any earring. He got no reaction. He finally asked if I like it? I asked if he has the matching purse and skirt? He got mad. About a week end the earring was gone.

A friend of mine used to own a LGS, and they had a kind of obnoxious customer. Not really a bad guy, just kind of obnoxious. One day he came in sporting a new earring, asking what the regulars thought about it, prompting the following exchange:
"Say, isn't that the ear you get pierced to signal that you're gay?"
"Yeah, and when you're wearing it that low, you ain't pitchin', you're catchin'."
The next time he came in, the earring was gone...

People can do what they want and some go so far as to deform themselves for life. This won't get them a job as TV news reporter and it will bar the door for many employment opportunities. These are some of the people who later in life will want the taxpayers funding their health care.
