men that paint their nails it are “fruits-fruits”, as in their sexuality is of the gay persuasion

Men can wear nail polish if they are BOLD and have a fashion sense. It does not make them gay, transgender, cross-dressers or any other of those things. It also does not put men on a path to any of the before mentioned. Men now a days color their hair, wear piercings, wax their eye brows, wax their body, have manicures and pedicures, have facials done and wear make up, and I am not talking about eyeliner, i am talking about concealer to hide those dark circles under the eyes and lipgloss. I do not agree that doing any of those things makes you less manly, it certainly will make you less macho but not less manly. One thing is certain, NOT ALL MEN CAN WEAR ANY, ALL, OR SOME AT ONE GIVEN TIME AND LOOK GOOD. It is a matter of style, grooming and personality. As a man, you have to have a very secure and strong personality. It should also not be limited to weekends. Women dress up for the workplace also, and that includes nails, why should men not be able to? A man can have beautiful looking hands and also not loose his masculine look even if the fingernails are painted. Masculine looking hands are defined by various things, including and not limited to size, body hair, and nail length and form. If men wear nail polish on fingernails, the color they wear also defines how masculine of feminine the look is. Not all mens fingers look good with nail polish, it depends on the shape of the nails also. if they have extremely short nails due to bitting or extremely round nails, it does not look as good as well taken care of nails there are kind of square, and this applies to both men and women. So yes, men should polish their nails if they so desire, but not all men will pull it off in a style sense. Not all people will agree or like it even if it looks good, but who are they to tell you how to dress or style?

Wearing nail polish will lead you to a path where you might end up wearing women’s clothing and maybe you will turn into a transvestite or cross-dresser.

This is so ridiculous, but I’ve heard it before. How can painting your nails turn you into a transvestite or cross-dresser? It’s ridiculous really, but I had to put it here because sometimes peoples ignorance supersedes them. Sometimes I think people believe that nail polish is prepared with some fairy dust or something. In my humble experience in life, the more people bash, critique or are against something is because they are more scared or are afraid that other people find out about their true selves. As an example, some homophobic’s are homosexuals themselves, but are closet homosexuals. They tend to have high profile jobs and are afraid to “come out” because of fear so they do the opposite to “blend”. One thing is certain though, the more you understand these issues, the more you tend to loose your fears. 

Wearing nail polish is just for girls, so men who wear it are gay

So in this line of thinking (things that are typically associated to women), I will have to assume that:

Scotts who wear kilts (mens skirts) are gay

Ancient Romans who wore sarongs and dresses were gay

Japanese Samurai Warriors who wore armored skirts were gay

Mexican Aztec Warriors who wore skirts and painted their faces were gay

Ancient Egyptian men were gay because they also wore skirts and painted their nails and also wore eyeliner

All male actors and anchor newsmen  who wear make up are gay

Chinese kings and upper class who painted their nails were gay

All Men who use chap stick are gay

Hawaii, Samoan and all South Pacific native men who wear skirts are gay

All men with earrings are gay

And I can go on and on....... When I finish the list, I guess only 1% of men WILL NOT BE GAY! 

But seriously, not that being gay is good or bad, being gay is a sexual preference, not a sense of style or fashion. Many people are so confused that they don't even know the difference between the two.

Men who wear nail polish loose their manliness, or wearing nail polish is not manly.

Many people tend to confuse what being manly is. They confuse manly, with macho, and masculinity with butch. Masculinity has evolved over time. Constructs of masculinity vary across historical and cultural contexts. The dandy man, for instance, was regarded as an ideal of masculinity in the 19th century, but is considered effeminate by modern standards. But, who sets those standards? Do we really need to “behave”, “dress” and choose our appearance by what others consider to be the norm? I personally think that as long as we don't brake any law, verbally offend someone or attempt against others, we can choose by ourselves if we want to look different and dress or style ourselves as we wish. I think nail polish on men is like a tattoo on women. If the personality suits the person, and the individual wears it well, so be it. So no, wearing paint on your nails, will not make you loose your manliness, in fact, Totally opposite to that, having the guts, character and personality to wear nail polish openly in public, make you more of a man than many other men who would like to but are “afraid” of what people might think or say. Wearing nail polish will definitely not make you look macho, so If you want to look like a man that is very macho, don’t wax, don’t shave, don’t wear nail polish, don’t wear open toe sandals, and definitely don’t wear any clothing with pink, purple or flowers. Oh, and don’t forget to spit. To me, a typical macho man = uneducated, retrograde man, but again it is just M.H.O.

Real MEN do not wear nail polish.

First of all, let’s define what a real man is. A real MAN, has to be at least 21, otherwise, he is still a boy. And even then, some men mature more slowly than others, thus, acting like boys instead of men. What makes a real man? Character and responsibility are the first two things that come to my mind. A real man is respectful of others, a real man stands for and fights for what he believes in. A real man takes care of his family. A real man is responsible, will pay and help for his offsprings education. A real man will guide and help those in need. A real man will extend a helping hand expecting nothing in return. A real man will stand up to anything that puts his family in harms way and prevail. So with that said, if you check all of the above and would like to wear nail polish, than to those who say that real men do not wear nail polish, well, you can prove them wrong. Of course, many women can also claim the same, so I guess the gender lines are blurring, but not because of nail polish, but because men and women are so alike in so many ways. 

Nail Polish on Men it totally wrong. Niuton Chavez Felix

I think it all a matter of personality and style. It is not wrong for men to use/wear nail polish as it is not wrong for women to use men's razors to remove hair from their legs. Another example would be, women who like to wear big men’s watches, or women who like to accessorize with men’s dog tags. Do those make them less of a woman? No! The only thing is that society in general tends to be more forgiving to women than to men on these issues. But the point here is, what is wrong? Child molesting, murder, stealing, spouse abuse, animal  cruelty, and I can go on and on, but men wearing nail polish? I don’t think so. Again, the way you wear it has a lot to do with how it is perceived. 

Nail Polish for Men is contributing to the blurring the gender lines.

This is a very controversial topic. First and foremost, let's remember we live in the 21st century. The roles of men and women have evolved considerably, as well as their points of view. As a Man, I am all for equality between men and women. If a Woman want’s to pay for dinner, I will gladly accept!. But seriously, the gender lines ARE being blurred, but not because of nail polish or other attitudes or fashion trends, but because of other things that I touch on in the Real MEN do not wear nail polish argument among others. The evolution, industrialization and education toward the respect and understanding of women is what is blurring the gender lines. The fact that many men are being raised by single mothers is also a big contributor to this, most of all because women, as single mothers are the example of a strong person to their children. The other thing that is contributing to the blurring of gender lines, is our ever expanding understanding of what gender is, which is not necessarily tied to sexuality, sex or sexual identity.
