Putting The "Man" In Manicure Forbes

Sometimes we surprise ourselves. And not in a good way. The other day, I was walking down the street and I saw a chalkboard sign outside a restaurant that said in colored chalk, “See host for seating.”

“Don’t they mean hostess?” I thought. Then I caught myself – clearly both men and women work as hosts and hostesses in restaurants. The gender of whomever greets me at the door of BLT Fish or Bertucci’s is something I’ve never stopped to think about for more than the second it takes my brain to unconsciously register their gender so that I can use the proper pronoun when I report back to my dining company about how long we have to wait before we can get a table (and, for the record, I acknowledge that appearances can be deceiving and we may not always be able to correctly identify a person’s gender by their appearance alone).

I realized when I caught myself that day that my perception of a restaurant host is, well, a hostess. Once I got past the guilt that arises whenever I have to admit to myself that I do not always live up to the notion I have of myself as being a perfectly “politically correct” person, it got me thinking: What other jobs do I usually associate with one gender or the other?

MANicure for Men

How to properly manicure a mans hands.

man' manicure?

what is the point of a guy getting a manicure? what do women think of it?


to have nice nails


woman usualy think its great for a guy to be secure enough in his malieness to get a manicure


We honestly hate disgusting nails.....EEEWWW don't touch me. GET A MANICURE! It shouldn't even be called a manicure.... its just someone cleaning out your nails for goodness sake.


I think it's great. I see lots of guys getting manicures and pedicures. I'm getting my man to get a pedicure, he needs it! I think everybody needs to do something nice for themselves. Women do notice nice hands. I think they check em out to see if they'd want to be touched by you or not.


i don't really like guys with manicures. i don't think there's anything wrong with it, i'm just not attracted to it. i like manly men who do manly things and get a little dirty. perfectly manicured hands on a man symbolize to me he's not a very manly-man


The point is to clean the hands/nails and get rid of the roughness. Most women don't want to be grabbed by something that feels like sandpaper and looks/smells like the underside of a refrigerator.

I've had one once--I honestly didn't like it. Not because it didn't achieve the goals listed above, but rather because I was uncomfortable with a stranger (a woman in this case, but I DEFINITELY would not have been comfortable with a man doing it--I've noticed the same with massage) working on my hands for the time required. Also, going to a nail salon is a bit like a foray into enemy territory or walking into the wrong bathroom.

Oddly enough, it's not the same with a pedicure. That was relaxing and enjoyable. I'd do it again, but it's expensive, the salon is still embarrassing, and my wife isn't really wild about me having colorful toenails--I ended up taking it off fairly quickly. You can do it without the polish, but there's not much fun in that.

You're better off doing either at home, IMO. If your SO is cool with it, ask her and enjoy yourself.


Kick back and enjoy the ride. You may want to even get a pedicure too while you're at it.

Have fun.

P.S. I think it's great


the point of geting a manicure should be the same for males and females. that is to have and keep healthy nails. not only is a manicure used to polish a certain color, but it is used to trim cuticles, remove dead skin, and keep the nail as healthy as possible.

Sexist to charge a man more for manicure than a woman?

My boyfriend and I just went to get manicures, and they charged him $3 more because he is a male. At first I didn't believe him so I looked at the price sheet and it said "Manicure for Men: $15". So isn't that sexist? Why should a man have to pay $3 more when he just got a clear coat of polish anyway?
Ok all of those other issues are irrelevant to this situation. A hand is a hand, and a nail is a nail.
His nails are great lol and in good condition. I've seen women with worse.


Is it sexist for men's haircuts to be cheaper than women's haircuts??

Its the double standard - It goes both ways.


Hmm...
That does sound rather sexist.
I would also post this question in Society and Culture to see what kind of answers you get and what others think..


maybe cause hes has man hands. and get serious- who really cares about three dollars


I could understand if they charged u more. Or if he was posting this. But, why would you care? It's 300 cents or just $3. It's not sexist. Is it sexist to charge more for womens underware then mens? I don't think so


That's unusual, usually women pay more for hairstyling, dry cleaning and shoes even when it's almost the same thing, which isn't fair either.


It does sound sexist. If both of you got the same thing or he got less, then its not really fair. Even if its only 3 dollars, its the principle of the situation.


No, it's not sexist. Some salons charge a little more for men because men's nails are tougher to do. They're thicker (granted not all, but most). And they have a tendancy to be more beat up. It's not so much a charge because he has a penis as opposed to it's more work.


It generally takes more work to get the man's fingers shaped and buffed since they are in rougher shape when they come in.
Also a man has larger hands then a woman so there is a size difference to consider.


i dont think so! 1st its 3 dollars and 2nd mens nails are made differently and have a more rougher texture and its harder to make theirs look as nice as a girls and also most guys dont even worry about their nails so just be glad they even did his nails!! its not a big deal..so no i dont think its sexist!!


You could make the argument, but dry cleaners get us back for it. It usually costs more to launder a woman’s button-up shirt than a man’s.


unfair

How do I get my man to do manicure, pedi and facial?

I want him to agree to do these things with me...he doesnt because he thinks its girly and all..but for me its staying healthy and clean ..help plz


Many guys do these things and actually became regulars at the beauty parlours. So what!!! They wanna portray a well kept image and there is nothing wrong with that. I hate seeing guys who have their nails filled with dirt and their toes looking like they have been dancing in the backdam. Facials are also hygienic, the same as washing your face in the nights. Only men insecure about themselves make a big deal about these things.


Advise him that many men do get these things done. If he does not believe, then ask him to go to the shop and ask the workers there. Also, it wouldn't be bad if you enticed him with a reward such as a bj.


tell him. he liveing 2007. not the medevil agees. tell him hight gene is good.


Wow! I would love having my wife do that for me, I think I'll suggest it to her. Start with giving him a shampoo. He shouldn't object to something like that, then work your way into a facial. He'll be too relaxed by then to balk. Then move to his hands. The feet might be tricky. I personally don't like anyone touching my feet. By the time you're finished with him though, he might be putty in your hands...and the bj wasn't such a bad suggestion either, Country Boy.


OooooOO,, yea,, it can be tough to ask a manly-man to do something that feminine. Tell him that all the guys are doing it, and dont let him talk to any guys after you tell him that.

Or,, just bribe him.


there really is not way to get a str8 guy to do something that is not considered masculine by the commen census. just ask him to do it as something special u two can do together every now and then.


He is a man....not a woman....get some gay friends and have them do it instead....leave your man alone and let him be a man. Feminizing your man will only make him resent you in the long run.


What does all this stuff have to go with being "healthy and clean"? If he takes showers he's clean, and nobody needs a manicure or any of this other stuff to be healthy.

He's made his feelings clear. Stop nagging him. If you don't want a guy who is unwilling to be pimped up, dump him and find some metrosexual who actually likes this stuff.


facial is good for skin


why do girls want guys to do it

my girlfriend wants me to do the same things on her birthday


http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtEokRt4ugGRCy4fVLIlau.QHQx.;_ylv=3?qid=20071101224456AABQhuu


why would u want a guy do do these things

Is it gay to get a manicure if you are a man?

I think my buddy is gay because he goes and then he get clear polish on them. If he is not gay, should I tell him that people will think he is because he gets a manicure?


yes it is. unless you are black. black men will sometimes do this as a show of power/money. but generally speaking...any man other then a black popimp is probly gay


Leave him alone! He can get a manicure if he wants one. Treat it as a jokey, funny thing.


Many men get manicures. It doesn't mean you are gay. You are very narrow minded if you think so.


It is not gay really do you want me to do yours just hit me up


So looking nice and well kept is a gay quality...


Yeah, that's pretty gay...not that there is anything wrong with being gay but it's definitely gay......


No, but thinking it's gay means you're ignorant.


A man with good nails is hot. It dosent make him gay maby meterosexual or something.


Well in my opinion it's not "gay" to get a manicure if your a man. But I have a family friend who is gay that gets manicures all the time. So maybe it is, or maybe it isn't. But yes, you should tell him.


I think you are being rude by calling someone "gay" just because they like to keep themselves clean-cut.

Guys get manicures before weddings ALL the time, and sometimes even without the wedding. I find it no problem at all and should not be seen as a sexual orientation.
When you use the word "gay" is sounds like you are calling him a "retard" and I hate when people use the word gay to reference that someone is retarded or an idiot. Like "Omg, that shirt is so gay!" or "You can't come to the movies with me? Wow you're gay."

Lastly, who the hell cares what anyone else thinks?!?!?!?!?!


Oh yes, how utterly Gay! I know I always assume one is gay because they like clean, nice looking finger nails. Just as I must assume a guy is a real "manly man" if his nails are encrusted with grease and grime.

I think you will find many women like it when a man goes further then just showering and shaving, to take care of his appearance.


Well, the good ol boys from the country would probably say yes. But I grew up in the big city and both male and female professionals consider manicures a normal part of good grooming.

If you you live in the city and your buddy works with people then it's not likely people will think he's gay - just well groomed.


No, getting a manicure when you're a guy is not gay. Not at all. I'd rather my guy to have nice clean nails then to have dirty scummy lookin' ones.


Yes. It is your job from this day forward to make fun of him. Does he also shave his chest and/or legs? I'll bet he does.

There is nothing wrong w/ being gay, but something about metrosexuals drives me nuts.


No cause business men always have their nails and hands done


yep


well the whole nail polish thing is not needed if they are doing it right and buff his nails, so I would double check if he really has polish put on, but MINUS the polish why on earth do you have to think he is gay because he actually takes care of the one part of his body that says so much about him as a person.

For instance in this day and age you if lucky to get to the interview stage, you get ONE chance to make a good impression, so as you walk in the room hold out your hand for a firm [ish] hand shake and one guy has nubs with dirty nails and last weeks oil change still stuck under his nails and the other guy has manly but clean and smart nails which one would YOU pick.

To be honest a lot of females look at a mans hands, after all that might be what is touching them at some later date so hell no I would rather not risk having some delicate area torn up by hang nails and dirt going where it should not...........but hey if you think its "gay" maybe he has managed to work this all out for him self.


No. But its very 'metro'. I get mani's and pedi's all the time. They make your fingers and toes look great. I don't put the clear polish on them though because it looks too glossy and unnatural.


no it isn't.

getting a regular manicure can help prevent fungus build-up. it can also help with splitting cuticles that bleed and become infected. everyone really should get manicures.

the clear polish, most likely, is an anti-fungal barrier that will also allow the nail to grow stronger.

nothing wrong with wanting to have nice hands.


looking nice is not gay
maybe it relaxes him.


NO. Even Bernie Mac got manicures and he's not gay.

Is it too taboo to have long french manicure nails for a man?

I was thinking of going to the salon to get my nails done. I know a lot of people would that that is strange for a man, but I just think long nails would be a fun change and would look nice and pretty. Anyway, Im not sure what to ask them when I get there, any advice?


They're your hands... but be prepared for a lot of grief from people. Also consider what you do, long nails are hard to deal with, especially if you are not used to them.

My father-in-law get manicures regularly. He just has them polish his nails and perhaps a clear coat for protection.


yes. for me at least.


i work in a hair salon and is a guy who is straight(he say that)he do french pedicure after he go we laugh a lot of him,is nice to a man do manicure or pedicure but french...not is not nice


Long nails for a guy?!? That's a little bit on the wierd side of things. Long nails are annoying anyways! Seriously, If I were you, I'd stick to short and easy nails. Especially considering the fact that you are indeed male.


if you are gay...sure go for it...if u are straight...i'm afraid I know of no women who would find this attractive.


Well if you want pretty then you can get away with it ,but no body else could.
Personally it would be kind of gross, I hate the one long nail guitarists often have creepy. You go a head if there are lots of guys doing it in your neighborhood then you will blend in, if not have a strong back bone you will need it. Men and women are different not androgynous just different.
"Just one Opinion in a sea of Opinions." ><> ><>


Gross, dirty, and not attractive in any way.
A well manicured hand is fine - but forget the long, french part.


WHAT!!!!! YOU MUST BE FROM OUTERSPACE!!!

Is it effeminate for a man to get a manicure?

What about a pedicure?


Not at all...without fail, everytime I go to my nail salon, there is ALWAYS at least 2 guys there getting a mani/ pedi...and really, what girl wants to date a guy who doesn't take care of something as simple as his nails.


No, of course not.

Good hygiene is VERY attractive.


A manicure is 50/50 but a pedicure is part of hygiene


not at all
Iknow so many people that get that and much more
facials, waxing...you name it


Only for a job interview that promises a six figure income.


I've known many men to do both...especially those in 'professional' jobs (businessmen, physicians, attorneys, that sort of thing)...and the pedis for men who expose their feet a lot (my ex was outside all summer long for his job scouting games and he always wore sandals, so would get pedicures).


There are studies that men who are millionaires are much more likely to get pedicures and manicures than blue collar workers. So, if you want to be a millionaire get manicures and pedicures!!! :)


I give myself manicures. My normal routine is: tidy cuticles, shape nails, apply nail hardener. Sometimes I will wear coloured nail polish, mainly black, blue or purple.

Is A Man Getting A Manicure Feminine?

I've been getting manicures for years. I first get my nails cut, then filed and buffed and then a form of nice smelling oil coated on there, which I think smells delightful on my nails. Then during the week, I'll constantly get the dirt out of my nails, etc., etc. My brother always likes to joke with me about how girly it is, but I am curious. Is he right? Is it a very feminine thing to do?
I also get prodded on my time on my hair, with using products and being obsessive about it, etc. I guess I never really found all of this to be feminine, but I am curious.


I think its nice when a man can take care of himself. And so what if you like to take the effort to look good. AS long as your happy I wouldn't pay to much attention to what anyone else says! And about your brother...well ya'll wouldn't be brothers if you guys couldn't joke around with each others....


yea its pretty feminine, i honestly would probably make jokes about it too if i knew you, but if you sound like a more feminine guy since you say things like smells delightful so maybe its your style, which is fine. just keep in mind that most girls live by the rule that they won't date anyone who takes longer gettting ready to go that they do.


No I don't think getting a manicure is limited to only females. I think men who do take good care of themselves are cleaner and look well-groomed. It's metrosexual and it's a good thing.


I'd say it's more of a trendy metrosexual thing & more men are feeling free to admit that they like the attention & the results.


no, i think it`s cool!!! it shows that a guy is concerned about his appearance & wants to look his best!!!


I wouldn't get a manicure, but I know men who do. It's OK, as long as you don't get a French Manicure.


it's just a matter of choice, not a matter of what it makes you out to be. you are just taking care for your nails. That is very natural and if people don't like it, they can go kiss my ass.


Personal hygiene is important for everyone, not just girls. It's good that you make sure your nails are clean and trimmed. For a lot of girls, myself included, long dirty nails are a huge turn-off. So no, getting manicures is not necessarily girly. However, taking note of the "delightful" smelling oil... that's another story.


This was called Metro Sexual for a while.

It is basically about men taking more interest in their appearance. Culturally in modern western countries this is on the increase, but was frown upon for some while.

To be a man do you have to kill wild animals with your bare hands and be able to drink a six pack in less than a minute?

A man is defined by what is hanging between your legs, not whether your hair is lovely or your nails have engine grease under them.

I guess the question is this. Who gets the most girls, you or him?


You wouldnt be the first man to have a manicure. There are lots of men who go the whole hog, facial, massage, pedicure etc. Or even moisturise. There's nothing wrong with it really so don't feel embarrassed about it.


Not at all. I have met straight guys who get manicures because they are just more meticulous with their grooming, because they have to appear neat when facing clients.


My husband is waiting until his nails grow put a bit to get a manicure. Since he wears sandals all the time, I am tryiung to get him to get a pedicure, too. Women like it when men bother to take care of themselves. Nothing feminine about it, unless you think being neat and well-cared-for is feminine.


Depends on them, If they are gay maybe and if they are str8 maybe not.....I dont think its feminine at all......


Ok, to a 'macho' type guy like your brother spending the time and effort to look your best may seem a bit girly, but who cares? Plenty of us woman appreciate a guy who takes care of himself.


It's ok for a guy to really care about how he looks. It's not "girlie" or anything like that- I know a lot of hot, masculine guys who do that. Now, if you start painting your nails pink or something like that, I'd start to worry.


If the man does manicure it's not a feminine thing, this is normal in my culture. I adore guys who has a clean nail especially toe nails, that is the first thing I look at in a man when they are wearing sandals. So chill out, your doing the right thing forget about what your brother said. Next time ask him to do his nail too.


ya jus a lil. but when my mom got married to my step dad we had him get a manicure. lol we even had him get clear nail polish on! ha! it was hilarious!


yes its feminine


No, most guys don't because they don't care but if you want one then get one. P. Diddy gets manis and pedis all the time and he's a playa.


i dont think its a matter of being feminine or not. it just shows you like to look and feel good.. i always have a hard time getting my guy friends to go w me :(


My man doesn't get manicures but he does have a facial routine that he follows and takes very good care of his hair and skin and likes to dress stylish and look well groomed. I love those things about him and I'm glad that he likes to do those things. It tells me that he is confident and cares about himself.
I think it is great for a man to want to take care of himself. People just think it is feminine and odd because most men don't want to do something that they think others will give them a hard time about or would seem odd for a man. They want to be too manly in the eyes of society. Do what you want to do and what you like and to heck with everyone else. I personally think it's a plus in a man and I'd rather have a man that takes care of himself than one that doesn't care at all about his upkeep and appearance.


I think it's fine as long as u DON"T PAINT YOUR NAILS!!!! That would be over the edge. And sniffing them and saying they smell like pretty flowers is pretty gay! LOL


yes you are on the borderline for opting for a sex change!!


No, I think it fine. In fact a man with nice nails is hard to come by and shows that you like to take care of your self. Just because you have good hygiene and he doesn't, does not make you girly...


whaoo!!! lol, that is pretty girly, even i dont do that much, i probably would make fn of u to!!(but not in a mean way, dont worry)-- most girls luv it when a guy is in touch with ther girly side...but not to much


No I don't think there is anything wrong with keeping up with your appearance...I think the term for it is Metrosexual

for girls...What do you think of a man getting a manicure?

i 'm not gay but i do get manicures every 15 days, i think is clean what do you girls think?
ye no color, not long...lol


I hate it when I'm with a guy who has calloused rough hands... it feels terrible on the skin! Men who get manicures are metrosexuals, meaning they care about looking and feeling clean, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. As long as you don't go overboard and paint them pink, go right ahead and get those hands manicured... Trust me women appreciate soft clean hands more =]

What you think 'bout man manicure/pedicure ???

Are there men that use to go to the hand & foot spa ???


Men who take care of themselves are very attractive.
This means that they are manly enough not to be worried to do feminine things.
Moreover, alot of girls look at a man's hands.
Last but not least, it's super relaxing to do a pedicure!!

Is an acrylic french manicure to feminine for a man?

I would like to experience what it is like. :o)


Life is very short on this earth. If you want to experience "acrylic french manicure", go for it.

Don't worry about what other people think, unless you yourself have a gender identity problem.

I get my nails manicured every two weeks. No nail polish as I use a cream and my manicurist buff's my nails until they shine and feel like silk.

How To Make The Correct Palladium Rings Choice

Men liked to be pampered just as much as women. Although the groom may not care for a pedicure or even a manicure there are several other ways to pamper the groom before the big day. Planning a wedding, causes a lot of stress, a nice relaxing massage a day or so before the wedding, will work wonders for all those tense muscles. Foot messages are rejuvenating and very relaxing as is a cranial sacral (head massage), to clear the mind and relax the body.

However, many men of the 21st century have reached a point of wedding enlightenment. Some know that as active participants in the planning stages, they are scoring huge points! My husband was full of ideas and opinions when it came to planning our special day. He and I designed our wedding cake. We both visited each potential wedding location. We chose favors together. Now I know that he was not busting at the seams with excitement during the entire process, but I know that his input made it all the more special.

Today’s men would probably enjoy the various food tastings that go into planning weddings and receptions. This is the wonderful time when your potential cake creators and caterers shower you with various types of delicious cake and numerous varieties of fillings and frosting. Men would have to simply sit, eat, enjoy and lean more toward one than the other! Piece of cake, right?

Need to add a little color to your paste white skin? Spend a few days tanning, get yourself a nice golden glow. But go tanning before you go to the spa! Now back to that manicure, notice the first three letters -MAN- so see there’s no shame in getting a manicure. Have nice smooth fingernails, no bride wants to be scratched while her groom slides the wedding band on her finger.

Are there religious considerations? Some religions have certain traditions when it comes to wedding bands. For instance, in Judaism, you would not get a ring with stones in it (the idea is that you can more easily know its value). Do you want some sort of symbol? Some people may get a symbol or saying in their rings. Some people like more traditional rings while others opt for the unusual. You might want to go to the store and browse through the rings to see what you like best. You will want to try them on to see what sizes work for you. You might like wearing big rings or you might prefer something small. Consider the above points when making your decision.
