Anonymous says:
Painting your nails doesn’t make you a homosexual, but it means you might be more feminine than the average male. I would worry more about it looking childish. Have you ever seen a lawyer or doctor paint their nails? Also, other people will cringe, but if you didn’t care about other people their opinions you wouldn’t post on this board.
>Have you ever seen a lawyer or doctor paint their nails?
boring people living a boring life
I think it’s ok if you have the look to pull it off (like almost everything in fashion), you’re not going to look good with painted nails wearing a tuxedo for example… Me personally would chose something more subtle like picrel
>it’s a sign of caring too much
I’d argue the sign of caring too much is actually to wonder if one should or should not do or wear something.
As for if cool or uncool, that’s definitely debatable.
> Have you ever seen a lawyer or doctor paint their nails?
Doctor – Nail polish is an infection risk
Lawyer – expression of individuality causes bias, best to be a formal drone that doesn’t stand out atypically
it depends on the situation you’ll be attending, if you are a performing artist, then i think it’d be okay, moreover it’s hypnotizing for me to watch people play fast with nails painted black, because you observe 4 black dots dancing around
anything even semi-formal and you’ll look like gay alien
I wouldn’t be quick to call a man gay for doing so. But I understand the culture history for women to paint their nails as a beauty symbol, where as heterosexual men do not have that kind of hisftory. Homosexual men (and punk youths) however, have some recent explanation of painting nails as an act of rejection of masculine norms.
For some reason I get a strong urge to snap my computer screen in half whenever I see this 105 IQ T*rk who thinks he’s hot shit when in reality he can only win debates against bottom of the barrel stupids such as Tate.
no, I think it’s pretty cool, but you have to be fem at the bare minimum to pull it off. if you’re a skeleton, it does a good job accentuating your fingers and adding visual interest. pure black is a bit played out though
I’ve managed to get laid (heterosexually) while having my nails painted black. This was in hs and a straight guy I knew then told me they looked cool but he didn’t have the balls to do it himself, 1 or 2 years later he started doing it
i’m a gaygy punk who has just quit a food production job that caused nail polish to flake off pretty immediately and unsafely. this thread reminded me to start doing that again
For black (or esp. blue gold or other painted) nails otta be cool, edgy artist/musician and gotta be /fit/ buff to pull of countercultural alt-str8 (possibly bi) look or else will look exclusively like troon – flamer femboy
i hate the pearl necklace so goddamn much
its like every basic b***h dude puts one on and acts like "uh yeah im so alt my dude, where the goth b***hes at"
depends on your style, if you’re a rock guy then it’s passable, and if you’re a musician or artist it’s actually cool
Bisexual energy
I think it’s quite masculine to be confident enough to do it without caring about the opinion of others.
Then again i’m not a gay like you, OP, asking what you should think, i like it so i paint those nails.

I used to pull this look. They were my introduction to painted nails. A lot of people thought they were cool and assumed they were tattooed on
These are all great examples of how NOT to do it. It’s going to look absolutely horrid if you have either ugly hands; short, stubby, ogre nails like that tranny, or if you’re not more or less lean. Only works with casual fashion and more alternative styles.
You definitely need to look a bit feminine or it’s going to look cringe. Just don’t be fat or too ripped, don’t be hairy, have nice hands, and just forget about it if you have short nails.
This is not an opinion of a person in the real world. I have been stopped literally stopped in public and told “HEY! I like your nails! Them b***hes fire! (Or cute)”
People aren’t going to tell you the truth to your face, duh. If I quoted you, it looks ugly on you, sorry.
I only did my middle finger with Pepe because my nail split really bad and my wife is good at fixing stuff like that. We were watching the Pepe documentary and she asked if she could do one on the repaired nail and I said sure. Would prefer smug Pepe for when I flip people off though
The Pepe one is really cool, your wife is super talented.

used to paint my nails black all the time when i was a teenager, black converse, black tight fit jeans, black t shirt and a black sweater, i have broad shoulders and a normal waist, physique matters. got laid pretty often.
I like the whole beige khaki pants with black polo/leather belt and dark gray tatts look complemented by black e-bro nailpolish. Very alt-cool and edgy.
Only wish you’d posted full length pic so we could see entire fit with shoes.
Consensus is usually clear is okay.
Solid colors, most people would probably see you as effeminate/lgbt (also would be my first impression).
I wear Bare My Soul – it’s clear with a tinge that makes them look healthier imo.
Women don’t notice/just assume it’s clear unless I point it out or they fixate on my hands when we date.
disclaimer: results might be different for you OP, especially with other types of polish
If a girl looks at me funny after I tell her, I just explain that it’s a tradeoff between having my shit be hecked/ridged due to anemia or taking care of myself and they stop caring.
Ok I’m gonna brake it to you.
Painting nails is stupid regardless of gender.
It’s the ultimate litmus test for the lack of aesthetic sense.
Nails are going to chip and scratch the moment you have em done.
And you’re stuck with chipped uneven nails once this happens.
It would drive me nuts.
This is true. I paint my nails black and in 3 days theyre chipping.

This is literally how you come across as a giant gay gay. You can tell when someone is trying to handle something a certain way, that comes across as dainty, they literally look like hecking women and homosexuals with that body language.

Is this for real a way straight dudes twig that another dude might be kinda closeted or gay?!?!?
I don’t know man, maybe if you actually had the balls to paint your nails black and did any sort of normal activity, you’d know this.
You can spot how women move their hands and fruits to not try to damage their nail polish. It looks turbo gay, same with dudes who are trying to show off their hands intentionally like women, such as these guys:

Depends on how careful you are after painting nails and how many protective clear coats you apply.

you also need a certain colored bandana in your back pocket, an earring on your left ear, and tight leather pants just to make sure you’re getting the message across.

Dude, when you’re gonna accessorize with black / beige fit and black nailpolish like total gigachad ebro, pull out all the stops.

Yeah right

Is painting your nails… exciting? Does it make you a fun, interesting person?
yeah more than anything its a sign of primping, of caring too much, which is inherently not cool.
>it’s a sign of caring too much
I’d argue the sign of caring too much is actually to wonder if one should or should not do or wear something.

Very Gay. You can buff them, cut them and make them look neat.
I had mine painted black when I was in 6th grade, and even as a kid, I thought it was gay. I ended up scratching the paint off on a bench.
Gay as heck

Insecure people can’t pull it off and look like gays.

Dumb? Yes.

typical yank has travelled far beyond the point of no return
I don’t really want to say that it’s gay but anyone with black nails always give me f@g vibes.
black are overrated as heck. honestly any colors other for black always work.
compare this to black and yk what i mean. black nails r overrated.
>post a literal homosexual man
that’s the point. without knowing the man, you’ve guess that the guy with black nails is homosexual.
tyler rocking blue nails without looking like a f@g is worth mentioning on this thread.
so true bestie
black nails are the only ones i dont find gaygy , they are worn by almost every rockstar pussy destroyer and its cool.
>and its cool
nope. be a man , not a barbie doll
He looks like a gay and his music is shit.
tyler is another hollywood gay, just like tupac
>f@g
Why?
iys because this gay did a garbage job painting them
For some reason I get a strong urge to snap my computer screen in half whenever I see this 105 IQ T*rk who thinks he’s hot shit when in reality he can only win debates against bottom of the barrel stupids such as Tate.
it’s only gay if balls touch
Ye
I didn’t see a single example ITT where it didn’t produce an emasculated effect.
all fashion is femenine , real men wear whatever.
stupid, get off the board and kys.
lmao hit the nail , you are not a man if you are into fashion you gay
No, but it’s not too easy to pull off
>Is it gay for a man to paint his nails black?
no, but your boyfriend will love it
Gay, cringe, edgelord, immature. Take your pick
Yes. Even if you aren’t, people will immediately assume you’re at least a little bit queer
no, I think it’s pretty cool, but you have to be fem at the bare minimum to pull it off. if you’re a skeleton, it does a good job accentuating your fingers and adding visual interest. pure black is a bit played out though
Men painting their nails looks bad 100% of the time.
Yes choosing to paint your nails with gay colors is your mistake when you could’ve painted your nails with no color option
when ever a guy does this shit i think of this scene from the sopranos. "you look like a puerto rican whore"
Its a silo
painted nails other than black is gay
black nails mean emo or goth
Male here (but these hands aren’t)
this board, being a fashion board, has a lot of insecure people, lmao
gay for pussy, still gay though.
I think zoomer or gay

No, but it is gay to ask.
hecking femboys is less gay than having black nails – you are trying to become the femboy.
only if you’re in a band or you’re buff and can pull of a "dark" knight kind of look
For black (or esp. blue gold or other painted) nails otta be cool, edgy artist/musician and gotta be /fit/ buff to pull of countercultural alt-str8 (possibly bi) look or else will look exclusively like troon – flamer femboy
if you are this jacked you just look ridiculous painting your nails
i hate the pearl necklace so goddamn much
its like every basic b***h dude puts one on and acts like "uh yeah im so alt my dude, where the goth b***hes at"
I paint my nails from time to time because I hate my job and it seems to make my older male colleges seethe like nothing else lol
the only reason a straight man paints his nails black is to get she/they pussy
Yes
No
None of the gay men I know paint their nails or do anything feminine
We’re more into manly things like soccer practice and the water polo team
Can I be your friend? All the gay men I know are into fem bullshit like drag and makeup
Sure, bro.
Let’s be friends.
*high fives you*
Homos, fruits, and women ruin everything for straight men.
I painted mine yesterday :3 cope and seethe
If you did it 5yrs ago, no. If you started recently or are Gen Z, then you are absolutely a gay
since the early 00’s I’ve every so often paint my pinky finger black. it’s black right now. just like it simple as
The edge is upside down and if he continues to press oh the shit he is pressing, the knife will be ready to fold back on his stupid thumb.
This is more playful bro novelty and his hands and nails are gritty hetero beyond doubt. Not same scenario as OP
black nails by any stretch.
if you’re attractive it won’t stop you getting laid
these are true
depends on your style, if you’re a rock guy then it’s passable, and if you’re a musician or artist it’s actually cool
extremely gay and mentally ill, like you suck cock and stab ppl behind mcdonalds vibes
Bisexual energy
Exactly and Rockstar vibes fr no cap
I think it’s quite masculine to be confident enough to do it without caring about the opinion of others.
Then again i’m not a gay like you, OP, asking what you should think, i like it so i paint those nails.
i’d only go with black, don’t be a gay and try other colors or some gay shit like that
but honestly you probably don’t have the style it pull it off
These are all great examples of how NOT to do it. It’s going to look absolutely horrid if you have either ugly hands; short, stubby, ogre nails like that tranny, or if you’re not more or less lean. Only works with casual fashion and more alternative styles.

The Pepe one is really cool, your wife is super talented.

Those are the gayest, most generic tattoos I’ve ever seen. Looks like an ad pic for aliexpress fake tattoo sheets.
It yells I have no personality and I will fail at life. To me.
a guy should never paint his nails if your trying to hide a disgusting busted finger nail wear gloves.

>Is it gay for a man to paint his nails black?
Slightly, but who cares?
nice manicure but dumb rings
I associate black painted fingernails on men with Goths, Punks and other cringey Subcultures rather than gays. Gays I associate with Monkey Pox.
Yeah, a bit. I’d totally paint mine black if I didn’t work construction.
Straight guys can paint their nails black, so it isn’t just a gay guy thing. But it is typically seen as feminine and others might think you are gay.
a little gay, but for sure a little cool at the same time. if you like the feel of it, it’s your body, go for it.
it makes my skin crawl
not if you use a hammer
Extremely gaygy examples ITT. Theres like 2 images and OPs that don’t look gaygy.
If it’s not who you are, dont do it. And if you’re gay or a tranny, you’ll never be a woman
>Is it gay for a man to have a bunch of stupid shit dangling from his belt?
yes
>Is it gay for a man to have drawrings of things on his arms?
Yes
You can only get away with it if you’re already drowning in pussy.
Or if you’re a Goth
Depends. It is definitely gay in your case.
It looks dainty, and like you’ve got too much time on your hands (no pun intended).
I like the whole beige khaki pants with black polo/leather belt and dark gray tatts look complemented by black e-bro nailpolish. Very alt-cool and edgy.

no gay
Just get the clear gel coat, looks better than anything else . Also self applied just looks dumb as heck.
Ok I’m gonna brake it to you.

It’s not gay it’s just dumb. It’s "lookit me, I don’t dew wut society tells me to dew" nonsense.
isn’t that kind of a moot question though? that guy has his nails painted, ergo he is gay.
Only ever done it for Halloween, but as some anons have said confidence is key
did it help you get positive attention
