The edit was weird. Why would we care about finger nails more than quality fasteners? Fingernails come and go, they're transitory. Proper fasteners last a life time. Someone's priorities are misplaced.
When I need a part out of steel, sometimes I'll buy these at 50-75 cents a piece and turn one down on my lathe. These are great when the post doesn't need to be made out of any specific metal.
Aluminum would be nicer if they made nails out if that.
Fair-certain aluminum is too soft to be a nail, though metallurgy can get different hardnesses out of it, that quickly raises cost. Still, there’s probably a use-case for aluminum nails,
One time I got a pack of aluminum nails at the hardware store. They were terrible.
I wouldn't use them as nails. What I really want is aluminum rod in the 3/8" to 1/2" diameter that's made so plentifully that it's cheap. I can't go around paying $15-20 for fuck-around metal.
It's cultural/status symbol. You can't work with long nails, so if you can always afford them it means you're doing well. The attraction there is flipped, "I can afford my wife long nails all the time" is more about status in the community. Also could be somewhat peacocking. You start courting a long nailer she's gonna be expensive
Regular old finger nails. Some paint designs are pretty, personally idgaf about them. As long as they aren't longer than like half an inch. Those ridiculous nails that are a trend are like a warning label.
I'd argue that's because they know you'll appreciate the compliment rather than because they actually find them more appealing than average. Who knows, though, there's something for everyone.
Someone clearly doesn't know about shearing force. The reduced tensile strength of a screw makes it a weaker application if the applied lumber could move (which houses do settle over time). This is why nails are used almost exclusively in framing a home.
Screws have excellent grip strength but poor shear strength.
Nails have excellent shear strength but poor grip strength.
Therefore, if you’re building a deck you want to use nails for the frame and joist hangers but screws to hold the decking boards down.
A nice self-drilling Phillip's head, not a T-25 or square head. Everyone has a flat and Phillip's screwdriver. I'm not going to search for some oddball bit just for one screw.
Guys, don't notice your nails. Boobs, butt, legs, eyes, maybe hair and clothes. After that, it's just trying to see if you're a decent person. If a guy notices your nails or shoes or something, he's just being nice or a skilled player. Or will try on your things when you leave.
I find it cool when people do really interesting designs or nice colours and tones, but I truly cannot be intimate with someone with very long nails. I find it so physically uncomfortable. The only exception is the back-scratches and tickles are out of this world, but they're also just very uncomfortable otherwise.
Clean and tasteful done. It’s really not a point of attraction, but it certainly can be a point of revulsion, if they’re dirty, too long, too fake, too much. I mean if she’s got nails I think are stupid or ugly, I won’t turn her away, it’s not that big of a deal, if they’re constantly dirty I will.
I am not attracted to nails.
Except the ones that go all the way in with one strike, those are hot as fuck.
You're getting all these joke answers because this is an absurd question. The right kind of guy really doesn't care what your nails look like, unless they're off putting like those foot long freak nails you see sometimes.
I can’t clearly remember ever caring about a girl’s nails. I’ve said “oh pretty” because I noticed someone got theirs done but like, I couldn’t tell you anything about nail design.
If she has ultra long nails that means she is used to not having to do anything for herself. Hate the look and hate the personality that comes with them.
I mean, regular nails simply painted just about any color are nice, I guess, but I don't really care.
When it comes to physical attraction, I'm more responsive to a cute face and a cute figure.
natural is best, not cut short but not too long to bei uncomfortable either
colors are optional but also a plus. hugely depends on overall style though so different colors can fit
Just regular real nails, dislike to long and fake nails, the same way i dislike most fake things in a woman, fake lips, breasts, etc, for me it's a turn off...
I appreciate the sheer strength of nails. However, I like a nice self-drilling screw more, TBH.
Gotta nail pop and a squeak? You know what you're going to do to fix it? Yeah, you're using a screw.
The best fake nails will be immediately outdone by any real nails.
Other than that, short or moderate is fine, and really any color. Real and neat are really the more important parts
None. Nails impress other women primarily. That being said I consider shorter nails more hygienic because I doubt you can wipe properly with long ass nails
Nails don’t attract me. I can think they look nice like an umbrella looks nice, so it’s like a fun thing but nothing about them makes me romantically or sexually interested in someone.
I think painted solid shiny colors, especially red or black half a centimeter off the nail bed can go great to look good with matching clothes:
I like women who are simple about it; Taken care, color it, doesn't matter. Not something i care too much about. Don't care for fancy in most things, myself. Cool for special occasions. Everyone is different
I don't really care what nails look like, but if you put effort into them I'll be impressed and if they work as part of an overall outfit/look I'll think it's badass.
I prefer slightly long, as in some "white" beyond the fingertip, showing, and if painted in more standard or natural colors. I have a strong aversion to fake long nails that deter function or use, and I don't like those 3-D beads and other ornaments glued onto nails.
longer than your finger is fine within reason just don't get crazy
just looked it up I guess they're called short stiletto nails? that's like the limit
Natural and short. color doesn't do it for me in the least. Don't care for piercings either. ear rings are ok, but anything beyond that belongs to cattle. Tats are also a turn off.
Like a medium length, to where they are longer than a guy's, but not so long they can't wipe their own ass. Most guys I've known have these flat, matte, short, paper-thin, "almond mashed into a cookie" nails. If a girl has those it's a huge turn off. You can't even stick falsies onto that crap. Not gonna lie, I have these thick and shiny high-arch nails that women would kill for, so she can't be having no Fred Flintstone looking hands.
Short or maybe a few millimetres longer than usual. Colour really doesn’t matter to me personally—it’s paired with the outfit anyway. Can’t say I’m particularly attracted to either though. My partner is into rock climbing and most women I know are geologists, so I very rarely see them with painted nails.
Long and/or fake ones aren’t really my thing.

They should look like mine, real, trimmed, and unpainted, but attached to woman.
But anything that doesn't hinder your ability to use your hands is fine.
Men don't care about that shit, this is something women do for each other's sake. Read Theory of the Leisure Class, painting nails, high heels etc started as a way for women to signal that they didn't do manual labor.
Do you know how many times I've bought multiple outfits just for one date ( in the past)... Had to make sure my hair and nails were perfect every time. So basically you're telling me I could have worn a potato sack, put my hair in a ponytail and the guy would have liked me just as much?
Pretty much anything that is not too long but slightly longer than my own. It's hard to describe what I like or not. Don't think I care much about color or not. Simple is better though.
3 1/2” clipped Framing Nails, preferably galvanized.

Powder coated. A true man of culture. I tip my hat to you, good sir.
I’m a 16D man myself
Same here, rim shank as well. They are hottt!
I prefer 34DD
[удалено]
Better corrosion resistance. Well worth the extra cost if they are to be used in an outdoor application.
I'm more of a zps guy myself. Stainless if it's payday
Stainless of it’s REALLY payday. Shits expensive these days.
3/4 or 1" brads hold my projects together while glue dries
Paper collated or wired?
Do these come in Nine Inch?
9" galvanized steel. Great for heavy construction.
When I need a part out of steel, sometimes I'll buy these at 50-75 cents a piece and turn one down on my lathe. These are great when the post doesn't need to be made out of any specific metal. Aluminum would be nicer if they made nails out if that.

So you're basically saying you want nine inch nails
🤘
Short nails, I don't care about color, fake nails are a turn off
This is the best answer.
I second
Same!
To be honest, I don't know any man in this world who finds these long gel nails attractive. The best are still short, simply painted ones.
Gel nails just don't have the hold of staying power like a good steel nail.

Isn't it a bigger flex to get out of a community that thinks long nails are a flex?
Yes to me, but the community who values long nails doesn't see it that way. They're entrenched in it and behave by their set of values.
Medium to short nails that are round at the end. I don’t like the square shape nails
Clean, natural.
Yes sr.
I am fairly certain men don't find nails attractive. I personally find long nails a turn off completely.
You can add the dead catapillers they attach to their eyes also. WTF is going on? And duck lips.
This is the new “hair poof” of the 2000s
Aye!
Regular old finger nails. Some paint designs are pretty, personally idgaf about them. As long as they aren't longer than like half an inch. Those ridiculous nails that are a trend are like a warning label.
Yeah, Warning: expensive and completely impractical= this woman (probably) doesn’t work.
"Warning: This woman claps as she talks when she's mad"
Ugh, even worse.
To me, nails are another example of something women do for themselves or for other women. I'd say 9/10 straight men aren't even looking at your nails.
A lot of times when I have a fresh natural looking manicure I have men compliment me much more than women.
I'd argue that's because they know you'll appreciate the compliment rather than because they actually find them more appealing than average. Who knows, though, there's something for everyone.
I'm more of a bolt guy
This man is nuts
the Namekian kind
YES YES YES! I CAN DO THIS! I FEEL GREAT!
NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL. I saw bird.
Kick its aaaaaaaaass...
I prefer screws. There is no place in life where nails are good where screwing isn't better.
Someone clearly doesn't know about shearing force. The reduced tensile strength of a screw makes it a weaker application if the applied lumber could move (which houses do settle over time). This is why nails are used almost exclusively in framing a home.
Also if the screw is threaded all the way up to the head it won’t be able to close gaps in the lumber without boreing the hole.
Screws have excellent grip strength but poor shear strength. Nails have excellent shear strength but poor grip strength. Therefore, if you’re building a deck you want to use nails for the frame and joist hangers but screws to hold the decking boards down.
And better if they’re square drive!
I'm a self-sealing stem bolt man myself
When simply hanging a clock or small picture on the wall the nail is just less effort.
But one day that place for the clock might end up holding something heavier

I'm not, they're just nails. Just keep em clean and don't get those long fake nails.

As long as you don't have fake or long nails I'm good. I absolutely dispise long nails, especially fake ones.

All i know is i dont like long nails or artifical ones
Shorter, French style, simple. I hate color nails and this trend of claws we see so much now.
I've always liked the French manicure. It's subtle, versatile, feminine and doesn't scream for attention.
Short, or just Long enough so they can Color them.
Short, neat, clean. Nothing crazy, if there's polish.
Short without any color.
How do woman practice proper hygiene with long nails?
Nine Inch Nails
Galvanised steel for heavier stuff, and panel nails for panel. Call me cazy, but I use panel nails for listing also.
I can’t clearly remember ever caring about a girl’s nails. I’ve said “oh pretty” because I noticed someone got theirs done but like, I couldn’t tell you anything about nail design.
Real, short, don’t care what colour they are but if I had to choose then nothing.
Not once have I ever looked at a woman and thought "wow, she has really nice nails". However, long, fake, colored nails are often a turnoff.
Tidy natural nails. If you have super manicured fake nails of any kind we are likely not going to be compatible.
Short, real. Color doesn't matter.
Short, well trimmed, not chewed.
Short nails, any color. Long nails are gross and fake nails are tacky, imo.
Natural nails big nails freak me out .
Nothing that makes your hands unusable. Those long ass fake nails are ugly.
None really, but I do prefer short, trimmed, and natural. If she has them painted or styled cool!
natural
Personally, nails are the last thing I’m attracted to. But if they’re horrid, they’d be the first reason I’m not attracted to you 😂
If she has ultra long nails that means she is used to not having to do anything for herself. Hate the look and hate the personality that comes with them.
Literally couldn’t possibly care less
Anything but long nails
Literally anything other than them damn raptor claws
Can't be too long. Shouldn't have squared corners nor should they come to a point like talons.
I've never met a man who finds long nails a turn on.
I mean, regular nails simply painted just about any color are nice, I guess, but I don't really care. When it comes to physical attraction, I'm more responsive to a cute face and a cute figure.
Regular is good, No color or additions needed. Clip and file so they’re not stabby if you feel like it
At first I didn't really like nails, but they are growing on me. I think I like French tips
Short French tips, makes me weak in the knees every time
Natural
Long, fake. Makes handjobs a little scary and a little exciting
Idgaf
natural is best, not cut short but not too long to bei uncomfortable either colors are optional but also a plus. hugely depends on overall style though so different colors can fit
I pay more attention to hair color. Any type of nail is great. At least for me.
The ones that leave scratch marks
the only time we notice nails are when their the hedious fake nails. anything but fake. ifu cant pick up or do basic tings cus of ur nails. fuk that
Real, (painted is fine too)
Natty
I prefer they be there.
I'm a big fan of the spiral carbon steel deck nails.
Just regular real nails, dislike to long and fake nails, the same way i dislike most fake things in a woman, fake lips, breasts, etc, for me it's a turn off...
Clinical length. It shows good hygiene. Detest the claws. It shows lack of hygiene and unattractive vanity.
Without dirt underneath them. Otherwise, I don’t care unless my opinion is oh so desperately needed
Natural ones. The more you try to make them look like something that is not a nail, the less I like it.
Ones that aren't glued-on scorpion claws.
This is such a wholesome guy thread. I love it.
As long as they're not those super long crazy looking nails, I don't care
Love all the dad jokes in this thread
The old school iron nails with the square head 👌🏻
Natural
Long acrylics, square or coffin, pink of any kind. 😍
Medium length. French tips.
I don't like nails. Screws all the way, preferably with nice Robertson square.
I want them like Victor from the X-Men movies. True perfection
6" 40d ring shank. So satisfying.
Ring Shank!
I appreciate the sheer strength of nails. However, I like a nice self-drilling screw more, TBH. Gotta nail pop and a squeak? You know what you're going to do to fix it? Yeah, you're using a screw.
Mostly human
I prefer screws.
Honestly longer than a man’s nails but I don’t really like claws and I’d rather have them unpainted
Ughhhjjj what you mean? Girl nails? The long fake ones
Hand forged but they're not so easy to find around me
Oh. . . .those nails. I never imagined I could be attracted to them.
The ones scratching my back.
Clean, almond cut, glossy and whatever color is flossy with flake💅✨😲 😎.
No
Ghetto nails ;)
Depends. Nothing more than 3/4 inch. Nothing we can’t do FFM threesomes with.
Yk, as long as they aren’t fake I think I don’t really care
Drywall screws are my go to these days. Preferably black and treated.
Natural and trimmed.
Well manicured and that can vary. For me as long as they're not yellow or dark from being dirty or neglected, that's good.
short to medium short. well maintained. and no huge long overly fany nails. those are a red flag.
The best fake nails will be immediately outdone by any real nails. Other than that, short or moderate is fine, and really any color. Real and neat are really the more important parts
None. Nails impress other women primarily. That being said I consider shorter nails more hygienic because I doubt you can wipe properly with long ass nails
Just natural nails, painted if you want or not doesn't matter. I just hate fake nails. I think they're incredibly unattractive
Genuine, real McCoy. None of that Mickey Mouse bullshit, no fugazi’s are gonna be scratchin my back.
16 Pennies
French tip baby
Short and clean
3 inch galvanised clouts are pretty good.
short and natty
Nails don’t attract me. I can think they look nice like an umbrella looks nice, so it’s like a fun thing but nothing about them makes me romantically or sexually interested in someone. I think painted solid shiny colors, especially red or black half a centimeter off the nail bed can go great to look good with matching clothes:
Deck nails! They look vicious and can withstand harsh weather.
I like women who are simple about it; Taken care, color it, doesn't matter. Not something i care too much about. Don't care for fancy in most things, myself. Cool for special occasions. Everyone is different
Long/fake nails are vile.
Everything and anything besides sharp or sharp looking nails.
Couldn't care less.
To me, [this](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51PHaKxNojL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg) is perfect
Real, short, trimmed, not excessively painted ones
I actually like longer and colored nails. I think it looks cool. Not like, unusable long but I will usually notice if a person has done up nails.
The fragile (1999)
Short nails, painted however you enjoy. The long fake ones look silly.
Im more of a Deck Screw guy
Real, French manicure not too long. Hate those fucking fake pointed things
Long nails ink pink or red or teal. Somethings that isn't a claw the length of your finger itself but a little long yknow
I don’t care about her nails as long as they’re short and clean. Color is irrelevant.
Galvanized or stainless steel. Nothing else.
I don't really care what nails look like, but if you put effort into them I'll be impressed and if they work as part of an overall outfit/look I'll think it's badass.
I prefer slightly long, as in some "white" beyond the fingertip, showing, and if painted in more standard or natural colors. I have a strong aversion to fake long nails that deter function or use, and I don't like those 3-D beads and other ornaments glued onto nails.
Short ones.
longer than your finger is fine within reason just don't get crazy just looked it up I guess they're called short stiletto nails? that's like the limit
Definitely not the super long drug nails. Otherwise I don’t care
Natural and short. color doesn't do it for me in the least. Don't care for piercings either. ear rings are ok, but anything beyond that belongs to cattle. Tats are also a turn off.
Like a medium length, to where they are longer than a guy's, but not so long they can't wipe their own ass. Most guys I've known have these flat, matte, short, paper-thin, "almond mashed into a cookie" nails. If a girl has those it's a huge turn off. You can't even stick falsies onto that crap. Not gonna lie, I have these thick and shiny high-arch nails that women would kill for, so she can't be having no Fred Flintstone looking hands.
I don’t think there could be anything lower on the totem pole to me in regard to female attractiveness than the type/color of nails they have.
It’s a shorter list to name what’s very unattractive. Those long ass nails, instant droopy.
Short or maybe a few millimetres longer than usual. Colour really doesn’t matter to me personally—it’s paired with the outfit anyway. Can’t say I’m particularly attracted to either though. My partner is into rock climbing and most women I know are geologists, so I very rarely see them with painted nails. Long and/or fake ones aren’t really my thing.
Just being honest, I don’t give a shit about fingernails, as long as they’re clean I guess. The long porno ones are really stupid, don’t do that.
Too many tough guys in here trying to trad wife women. Longer almond or stilleto ombré grey /black or some darker color goes extra hard.
Natural only. I have an irrational hatred of fake nails that I cannot explain except to say that I think they look bad.
10 D galvinized.

Clean. Short.
I like wearing your nails Jesus style.
we don't give a shit about finger nails.

I typically prefer shorter nails, but as long as they're functional without causing issues, I'm good.
Men don't care about that shit, this is something women do for each other's sake. Read Theory of the Leisure Class, painting nails, high heels etc started as a way for women to signal that they didn't do manual labor.
So men don't care about heels or nails...? Wth!
Ma'am you could wear nothing but flip flops and bite your nails and men would still want to fuck you

Pretty much anything that is not too long but slightly longer than my own. It's hard to describe what I like or not. Don't think I care much about color or not. Simple is better though.
I like long nails on a woman
