I have all of my nails long. Except at this point my right middle has broken and my left middle has chipped on both sides so it’s kinda freaky pointy lookin. I am not a drug user, I do not play guitar and no I’m not gay but I deffinitely don’t have a problem if people assume that I am W.E. I lean toward the wealth answer. However I am not wealthy, I do though have an office job that spares me from having to do manual labor. That doesn’t mean that I don’t do manual labor ever though, I find that my nails are amazingly resiliant. Nobody ever asks me about them. I think it’s kinda funny cuz I know everyone wonders but they just don’t know how/what to ask. I did have a female co-worker ask me once how I got them to grow so long. I think she was genuinely curious and really wanted to know. I think that that situation would have made a man who was less secure in his sexuality very uncomfortable but for me it was relieving to know that people did notice and just weren’t asking. My co-workers are 90— 95% female and I work at the office alone at night they all work during the day. I kinda hold down the fort so-to-say. So I know now that word has gotten around that I was confronted and the message was relayed that we are all comfortable with it. I mean why wouldn’t they be? They don’t even see me for more than a few miutes a day.
I think nobody outside the office (i.e. neighbors) asks just because it makes everyone uncomfortable which is fine by me. I wouldn’t consider myself anti-social, rather I’d say I’m more non-social . I drive a BMW and when I’m not in my office attire I prefer to wear my, “Dickies suit” (lol) so I also assume that they assume I’m a high level drug dealer. This is compounded by the fact that I am a Hispanic man that lives in an Eastern Washington (state) city that is 86.7% White and Hispanics of any race represent only 5% of the pop. I grew up here and thus have always been kind of an outsider. Which again is fine by me.
I have tried the, “One long fingernail” thing before and it just doesn’t suit me, it’s not my style. I’m more of a, “Well if you’re gonna do somthing, you may as well do it right” type of guy. I could though imagine that if I piss my boss off bad enough she just might tell me that, “One lone fingernail” is acceptable. Her justification being the sole fact that it is more common and thus somehow more acceptable.
And NO I’m not a cat! I registered specifically to answer this question so I will be fixing that photo shortly. after I get some work done
