Question for all young stylish men
Replies

I can wear any nail polish I want. It doesn't mean anything, I'm just more confident than you. so deal with it.
Lots of men wear clear nail polish, magicians, and anyone who is working with showing off their hands.

My son wore black nail polish.
He was in a death metal band for a long time.
It is just that scene....not gay or heterosexual based in any way.
It is just what they did.
I didn't judge him either.
I just bought it for him!
Love the way people jump to one side or the other in judgement.

BOOM :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Actually yeah, you would.The way I see it is this, you can have your own sense of "style" but there is a global acceptance of what being "stylish" is. And too me, being stylish for a man means dressing your self like a gentleman and looking presentable in both a working and social environment.
You wouldn't see Ryan Reynolds or David Beckham wearing nail polish would you?

Please
Never, EVER, confuse a metrosexual guy with a redneck, hardworking country boy.
Bring on the Zombie Apocalypse. We will see who survives!
Rant on.
And no, it is NOT becoming popular. I don't care if in a band, or a fad, or the thing to do...no, it is not to be done. I don't care about tattoos, piercings and the alternative lifestyle. Painted fingernails on a man signifies the lack of know how of manual labor. They are the ones that pay everyone else to do those little jobs that I am convinced everyone should learn how to do. From cutting grass to changing oil. People would have more money in their pockets.
Rant off.

except for the people who make a living changing peoples' oil and cutting peoples' lawns....
On the topic at hand. I don't care either way. Its a personal choice.0 -

I think this is a great point......#1 - Not to judge either way. #2 - I think it is based on group/clique. That said I would not think the rocker/punk demographic would be described as "young stylish"....In my mind I would picture this as preppy........but that's my mind....and not necessarily right.........0 -

But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading ‘cause you think that being a girl is degrading."0 -

I don't think I would be very proud of this statement if I were you. I don't judge a man by the way he is dressed or whether he paints his nails but by the content of his character. Right now I am judging you and you sir have been found wanting.0 -
At what point am I hating on anyone? If you want to paint your nails, go ahead I don't care, but that's hardly "stylish" now is it? Rock and Roll probably.
I'm don't think your hating on anyone per-se, but it is funny that you think its ok if i like boys, but not if i like girls. how does that work?
... What on Earth are you talking about? Can't you just read something how I've actually worded it instead of trying to some how interpret some secret hidden message about homosexuality?
"Honestly? If a heterosexual man comes in wearing any form of nail polish then they don't know anything about being stylish. "
the antithesis being, if your a gay man, ill high five your manicured hand, riiight?
Babe, you paint your fingernails any color you want!

Well after coming back to this thread (after painting my nails) I had a good laugh at some of the reply's.
Oh nail polish the gateway makeup, think I'll wear some eyeliner tomorrow. (not kidding)
Really are people so insecure about something as trivial as nail polish.
Its not a question of style, its a question of what the person is happy doing.
And comments such as-just another trend to emasculate men. or Painted fingernails on a man signifies the lack of know how of manual labor...Shows that the world still is full of individuals that cannot or will not look beyond appearances or stereotypes.
I don't feel emasculated but sorry to hear it just takes a little nail polish to make you feel insecure about your manhood(take it both ways if you like)
And for lack of know how of manual labor, I have done many laboring jobs in my life and not only am competent but a damn hard worker, but nice to know you feel so lowly about the people who pay laborers (bitter much)0 -
So interesting how this turned into a gender/sexual orientation thing...I don't think there were too many jabs at gender/sexual orientation. I think there was observation. I love how people carry a soapbox to stand on at any time because they believe their beloved cause is so mis-represented. You can't say painted toenails are not more popular with gay men as compared to straight men. Even though, honestly, a lot...if not MOST gay men...would think painted nails are a little much. It's niche, it's sub-cultural, it's a small share of people that do this. And it's a choice a person should be free to make...but also...let's be frank...they will have people question them. Deviance of the norm will always be questioned. There will ALWAYS be a norm. Even if the norm changes...so I say if you have stones to buck the norm...have the stones to withstand criticism and stand up for yourself... *shrug*...I aprreciate a person who lives their life differently and is not afraid to defend it...or own it. Can't stand those who need the norm to be extended to them....just revel in your uniqueness...
The question was whether nail polish is a fashionable trend among young men. The answer: No. It's not all the rage. It's not even big among those that are very trendy and into menswear.0 -
People should do what they want, not what society tells them is acceptable. If wearing nail polish makes you happy then go for it. Personally I never have and I never will; unless of course my future daughter wants to paint them for me. I guarantee you that ANY man on here would let their 5 year old daughter paint their nails. If you wouldn't then your a sorry *kitten* dad.0

I guess the only thing I'd see a guy get done is a mani/pedi usually with their significant other.0

uh never have

You are taking it out of context and making it a slippery slope fallacy.
Allot of things are acceptable, however the line must be drawn somewhere. How far is too far. Why is it okay to emasculate men and nothing is said. However apply those same changes to women, a race, a religion, a sexual preference and it is not okay?0 -
(And since you have to be carded now to get nail polish remover, he may have decided to let it just wear off)
whaat? where on earth do you get carded to get nail polish remover?0 -
So long as the color matches his purse I don't see a problem.
Love it.
Also, I can't even handle this thread.

I guess the root problem a lot of people would have with what you are saying is that your idea gender rolls is outdated. you make it sound like if you wear nail polish, you are not a real man, but its ok for man on man men because theyre not "real men" either.
there are no set gender boundaries, no such thing as "a real man". we live in a more enlightened world these days, there are women who grow up to identify as men and men who transition into women. there are lots of people in between, but in the end its not up to you to judge who someones gender or dismiss or discount it because it doesn't fit in with you, your straight mates and ryan Reynolds.
there are men who dress in drag and men that are nurses and men who stay at home and look after their children and men who love other men and men who wear nail polish. they're all men. they're all real.
thats tolerance. thats equality. thats understanding. traditional gender roles are outdated. time to catch up man.

lulz, im guessing this isn't your only totally outdated view on life0 -
You never ask "why" when it comes to fashion. If we did that, the 80s would have never been...well...what it was.
If this kid is polite, employed (assuming he's old enough for that) and treats your daughter well, you're off to a great start. I wouldn't sweat the details.0 -

I believe social mores determine this rather than some hardline that must never be crossed. There is a cycle to these things and everything comes and goes.

I've seen it here and there, more in Japan because a lot of the guys (and girls) are more androgynous. I think it's absolutely fine. if they like it, why not? Defining or judging someone because they wear nail polish, eye liner, or underwear meant for the opposite sex is just silly and dumb.0

I met a guy on Saturday with black fingernails. I'm not sure why. I just attributed it to his fashion sense.0

What this person said.
I work on a college campus and I don't ever recall seeing this, except on the punk rockers, skaters, goth type. But they have been doing it for years. I, personally, am not a fan, unless you are doing the whole goth look, but you have to have eyeliner as well.
I can honestly say I don't think a preppy suit and tie guy could pull off the look. .0 -

Actually, I just really wanted to quote Madonna.0 -
I have in the past - and I guarantee you that I'd let my daughter (who's a little young, at 3.5) paint my nails without a moment's hesitation.uh never have
and this if I ever had a daugherunless of course my future daughter wants to paint them for me. I guarantee you that ANY man on here would let their 5 year old daughter paint their nails. If you wouldn't then you're a sorry *kitten* dad.0
