What’s With The Pinky, Guys?

Okay, I just have to say something about this. It’s been bugging me for a very long time and it’s about time to vent it out. Recently I’ve noticed there are heaps of guys growing the nails on their pinkies and this look so weird, especially because the nails on the other fingers are cut short.

What is the deal, really?

I’d asked all the guy friends I knew and none of them could explain it to me. I’d even asked a guy who grew his pinky nail himself and he wouldn’t bloody tell me why. As if it would jinx the freakin’ finger or something.

I know everyone has the right to grow whatever bodily parts they want, but come on guys…the nails on your pinky?? That is just not on. Not only does it look disgusting but us women tend to think the worst about this long pinky nail – like guys are using it to pick their noses or ear wax or something.

And I’m not talking about normal length but more like two to three centimeters long and it stands out – it really does. It’s like one of those nails porn stars have, except that it’s on guys and they only have it on their pinkies.

What makes it even worse is that even girls are no longer into the long nails look. Most of them cut their nails short and even if some of them prefer to grow their nails, they never go to the extremes as the guys would. I know some guys grow the nails on their thumbs as well but I got an explanation for that – apparently it’s for playing guitar. Fair enough, but that still doesn’t explain about the long pinky and besides, I’ve played guitar as well and I have never, ever picked the strings using my pinky nail.

Maybe it’s like one of those unsolved mystery about guys that we will never find out – or better not to find out – and better be left just as it is. But one thing for sure – long pinky nails are a huge turn off and no matter how cute or hot a guy is, if he’s got the long pinky then it’s just not happening.

Seriously, I expect more from the new metrosexual generation of men.
