Is it normal that i think long fingernails look slutty and trashy?

Is it normal that I think long fingernails look slutty and trashy? They just bother me. I can't help but look at long nails and think, how does she wipe herself, how does she clean herself in the shower, how does she type? I can't help but think if she has to defend herself that she couldn't make a fist. So I wonder, is she gonna scratch and bite like a common street walker to defend herself? I just hate long fingernails, they look weak, dirty and feminine in a nasty, slutty way like a whore or a stripper as opposed to neat, clean, strong and athletic like a girl next door, tomboy type.

    Well what exactly do you mean by long nails? Like hideous, curved, square-at-the-end fake nails that always look horrendous? Or natural, not freakishly long nails?

        An overabundance of fracases and rumpuses led to my temporary talonlessness :(

    • Mostly fake nails but also overly long natural ones.

    I'm not a fan either but you're no one to tell people how should they look so deal with it.

    Yeah I'm not a fan of long nails either. Long nails seem like a overdone vanity thing. Like wearing 7" heals and sporting a flashy purse. To me it's gaudy and bleh. They also seem very inconvenient. Always breaking and bumping into shit when you try to do something simple.

    Short nails that are painted or something are way freaking cute!

    If you don't like them, don't wear them. I'm sure you wear things other people don't like, too, but that's the beauty of being autonomous, sentient individuals -- we get to choose how we dress ourselves.

    It's normal not to like something, but it's kind of shitty to assume that because you don't like the way it looks, it must mean the wearer is dirty, classless or a whore. Why the mean-girl, judgmental attitude about other people's fashion choices?

    Long fingernails as in fake nails or period? I never wear fake nails but my natural nails are are fairly long. I'm a little disturbed that you would think that.. I mean I think they just look feminine?

    I don't like long nails. There's just a stigma about it that I can't quite put my finger on. I don't assume that the wearer is slutty because of it though. I just find that they care a lot about minute details and how they're perceived vanity wise.

    • I'm glad you brought up the vanity thing.

      I also hate when a chick breaks a nail and then cries about it. I mean if it's broken in a way where it cuts to the quick and bleeds I can of course understand but if they aren't physically hurt by it then it's just annoying if they do it out in the open like a Primadonna.

        I hate fake nails! Mine are not really long, less than a centimetre, I did cry once when I broke one but that was cos it ripped half way down to the cuticle and was bleeding like hell! Soooooooo painful!

        • Yeah, I can't fault you for that. It's kinda bordering on one of those things when you don't wanna look at it and have to ask someone else how bad it is.

        I hear people complain about broken nails. Mostly because of how much it cost them to get. Crying about it is far-fetched. They might as well put it in a box and bury it.

    I never thought of it this way but I agree. I've never liked my nails long, it definitely does feel dirty. Like, all that bacteria that would just thrive and breed under there... Ew.
    And I totally agree with the point you made about long nailed girls not being able to wipe themselves. Plus, it's true that they wouldn't be able to defend themselves too.
    Hmmm, now I will never see long nails the same way ever again.

    At my last job there used to be a fat black woman with a gap tooth and long fingernails... The employees used to call her "Harpy"

    I've been a fan/had a fetish for long nails for years. Hot older sister keeps hers long during the school year (she's in the field), then let's them go as long as possible, sometimes to 2+ inches. Hit 3" one Summer, and was on a hot red or jet black polish kick. People would stop her to compliment her nails, and I had tons of fun with them. Women I've dated usually have long nails and pretty hands and fingers, and some have tried to model themselves after hot sister's.

    I personally adore girls with really long nails (at least a few inches or more)...yes I am well aware very long nails are not for everyone but it saddens me when people make really mean comments about them saying their nails are disgusting or gross or something :(

    Long fingernails are slutty and trashy on trashy girls, but sexy on sexy girls. Just like high heels looks slutty on a slutty girl but not on a sexy one. Its simple as that. Long fingernails doesn t make an ugly girl look pretty, but they do make a lady look sexy. Fact is that trashy girls go for crazy nail art or ugly fake nails which make them look extra trashy, while a slylish girl would make the richt choice for her nails.

    i like nails, but then again they don't always have to be long, i like painting them esp, matching a outfit, i believe it shows you really do take pride in yourself and shows to others that your on top of all aspects of a beauty routine

            So the ladies want to paint their nails. I know for a lot of people its just a fun art project. Just like people who get tattoos. Dont hate on people for being creative.
