Men, how do you take care of your nails – Do you clip them or pick them?

1. I clip them regularly. What the heck is “picking” them?

2. Yes, always. Unkept nails are a huge turn off to others

3. … or bite them.

4. I clip them but not often enough. I honestly don’t think about it until they’re too long. But once I realize, I have to clip them immediately. That’s why I have clippers everywhere lol.

5. I grind em down with a Dremel and grinding wheel. Funny my gf who just moved in thought I got manicures till she saw me doing it. I told her I’ve been doing it for years. I’ve gotten pretty good at it.

8. I clip and clean mine as needed. Used to bite them. The ladies don’t like that. Most people don’t. And I used to just end up with ragged, short, useless, ugly nails. Sometimes would tear off too much and end up bleeding and in pain. Clippers are well worth it.

9. I use a nail clipper. A little obsessively too I admit.

10. I file mine down with an Emory Board

11. File

12. surprisingly it’s one of the few hygeine things im kind of legit crazy about. I hate the feeling of anymore than like 1 mm of fingernail growth. I keep mine very very short.

13. If I start to bite at my nails is when I recognize they are too long. Then I cut them.

14. I bite them.

15. Peel them off with my bare hands.
