    So I used to paint my nails either black or blue but lately iv stopped cause I kept getting so much horrible comments from grandparents and parents about how I'll never get a job or nobody will want to date me cause I have painted nails and I don't look respectable and how I'll make people get the wrong vibe. So my questions are can I still get a job even with painted nails? Would anybody here date a guy with painted nails?

    Only if you teach me how to paint mine as well! \(^▽^@)ノ

    Job-wise, i can see why this could be a problem, especially if the job requires a lot of human interaction. ( ¬_¬)

    As for what other people think, you're 18, why do you care? It's not like you tell them how they should look... <(¬_¬<)

    I assume most workplaces don't care whether you paint your nails.


    And as for dates? I personally love when guys paint their nails.
    I'm sure there are many many others who find it sexy (or even just don't mind)

    For an interview or something it may look somewhat unprofessional (depending what it is) and it could be an issue if you're preparing food, but apart from that, go for it dude! Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. And black nail polish on guys? Super hot.

    I wouldn't mind dating someone with painted nails, as long as they don't paint them around me. (That shit smells!)
    Why not go to work without painted nails, and then paint them when you get home?

    If you want to paint your nails go for it. As far as getting a job it just depends where you Re trying to get hired at. For example I work at a call center and if you have your nails painted they cannot be chipped and must look professional, but other than that there are no issues.

    A few suggestions:

    Midnight blue
    Teal (Marine-Blue green shimmer, or whatever it was called)
    Neon plum
    Ice blue

    Black is so... depressing and "scary" looking. You'd get a stronger "reaction" with black, which is not always a good thing, if you ask me.

    Just FYI - never used nail polish, myself.

    Don't mind what your grandparents say. In formal situations it might be appropriate not to use nailpolish but in general it should be fine. Have fun! :slight_smile:

    No I would not date a guy who paints his nails. That's just weird on men. I just find that really strange on guys no matter who they are.

    Anyone who honestly sees this alone as a dealbreaker is narrowminded and not worth your time anyway. There's absolutely nothing wrong with guys who decorate themselves in fact I think it's adorable. Don't worry about anything you're grandparents have to say about it either. Old people generally seem to dislike anything that's different then how they used to do it for some reason. I have no idea why.

    Do what you like. Are there guys who won't date you cause you've painted your nails? Sure. Are there guys who won't care? Yep. Are there guys who will actively like it? I'm thinking yes. Depends on what you're looking for too.

    Job might be a little different, so who knows.
