I like relatively short nails, or just enough so that it covers the end of your fingers if you look down at them.

Does it really matter what a man thinks about it?
by uglyjenny on December 5th, 2008
i think as long as they are clean, all one length, and not a rancid coluor...you're alright...

for me the sweet spot is about a 1/4inch out from the finger
by Squirrel Face on June 16th, 2008
Meh, doesn't matter to me. As long as she can scratch my head. I'm a lot like a dog. Loyal and likes to have his head scratched. =P

I happen to be a long nails lover BUT, will will answer as to why they are attractive to me and Many others, but not to all.
I'll do this because it'll help many also shed some light over why the hell that obsession.
How common are long nails on men ? you probably know the 'common' answer already.
Should you see a photo of a hand alone not knowing its person's gender with long nails, what would your Brain think at first glance ? you probably know that too.
Long nails, if and when worn/naturally grown, belong to women.
At least this is the 'common' perception.
I'd' get the chills to see a man with long nails.
Yes very few of you will start saying, "oh but why this and that, not true, not always true and so on..."
So regardless of those 'few ones' that I know like contradictions to the 'normal' if intended and 'common'.
In our society perhaps just modern more than the older one, not sure here, Women are inclined to enhance their looks by 'working' with a number of things.
'Shoes', 'Nails', 'Eye brows', 'Make up', and in general whatever they 'keep up' it's a common feminine thing to work the details of what's commonly considered perfect and 'beauty'.
Yes all this long description, NOT to say that you have to like or dislike long nails, just a generic answer as to why many men like or prefer or don't mind at all a girl with long/er nails.
It represents femininity, as opposed to masculinity.
If nails are short and or not taken care of, I'd imagine it on men, not saying it's right or wrong, but it's more common to see this at least and our Brains learn from what's common and the surroundings.
Many guys like long nails, but not all for the same reasons, I happen to have a sexual fetish that makes me like ONLY women with long/er nails that are 'perfect' looking, all even, all straight or curvy but aesthetically nice looking, in any case many others who like long nails (and it also comes to how long and curvature/color/tip shape), like them for different fetish reasons for instance, scratching or vampire/sexy stuff and so forth.
Done.

I like well kept nails.. could be long or short.. just clean and pretty and not too long like Eagle Claws...

I like women with longer nails that way I'm bleeding when we're done.

Not too short, but I don't like women with long nails either.
by Zack on February 27th, 2008
Short nails are cool.
by Rahbar on December 5th, 2008
second option!
by MrJosh on October 31st, 2008
Nails on women have never done anything for me. Cut 'em off.
by devil is back on October 9th, 2008
i prefer them, mmm, how can i say...like yours:-)
by TWA on February 27th, 2008
Short. I hate the way long nails look, they get in the way, and you're screwed when one breaks off (which they like to do).
by Teri on December 5th, 2008
The type of work that I do I need my nails shorter....when I see women with long nails either real or fake I wonder how they get anything done....plus I am not hurting my partner in bed....LOL...
by roadpup2 on August 17th, 2008
I think that overly long nail are not attractive. How do you function in life with 4-5 inch nails?
by Lovehearts on August 17th, 2008
Yeah, I'm not a guy. But I hate really long nails.
by Sosueme on June 16th, 2008
No talons please:)
by thebull... Option One on June 16th, 2008
Long nails sliding down my back is acceptable :)
by avenger9921 on November 24th, 2010
short nails all the time girls
by Bridget on January 2nd, 2011
Im not a guy but long nails on other women scare the shit out of me! They look like mencing talons while short nails look friendly and harmless not long that they look like they could claw your eyes out
by answer246 on July 6th, 2011
Long nails are soooo HOT!
by tribute05 on September 25th, 2010
I love women with short nails. it lets me know that they aren't into the dainty, princess Grace type of crap! i like to see these types of women with active, short nails in erotic-porn type stuff! Really down & dirty stuff. My wife has short nails,and I love when we're doing kinky stuff cuz i like seeing her sexy-ass playing with........her stuff!!
by Xenon6 on May 25th, 2010
I love long nails. Not stupidly long but I don't find a woman attractive without long nails. To me short nails are like a pretty face with a missing tooth. About 75% of the women in professional porn have long nails because lots of guys like them.
There are even web sites like ournails.com that are devoted to nails fans.
Classic shapes and colours are the best. I don't think much of square ends or dark coloured tips.
BTW acrylic nails are blunt so they don't scratch or cut the way natural ones do.
by dragondog on January 19th, 2010
i once had perfect, little over half inch nails and could still excercise alot :D u get used to them
by hartdaniel on June 16th, 2008
I am not a fan of long nails.
by Dj De-Vista on June 25th, 2010

by TheDude on September 23rd, 2008
depends on how long, too long can get kinda weird.
by X Anonymous Z.eDD on October 16th, 2009
Depends on what mallet you're planning to use to hammer them in later on
by zkakarot on October 25th, 2009
My wife has long but not ugly long nails and paints them a different colour every other week. I love them bright red big turn on for me in the bedroom. I think it does make the woman look more feministic. Plus i have had a thing for them since i was about 8 years old, strange fetish but i have it...
by dark1surfer on October 16th, 2009
I love long nails on women, they are very sexy if well kept.. 1/4"to 1/2". They feel really good when scratching if not too hard. But if they loose control and grip, dig and rake them deeply into your flesh during the heat of passion it can be excruciatingly painful.
by Anonymous on January 27th, 2009
Most men prefer short nails on a woman. Because with long nails on a woman, they can use this as a weapon against men. Women with long needle-sharp nails are dominant to men in a physical way. They know they have the power to inflict pain to them by scrtching their face and body on a simple argument. This is why men are so scared of women with long sharp nails that they prefer them to have shorter nails instead.
by lizlaurendixon on December 23rd, 2009
Shorter for me is better. I'm an artist... anything too long could serve as an occupational hazard. I'm 18 and i've tried the cute manicure... it makes life hard. can't open shit. can't write well. etc. Plus, long nails have to be cared for quite often. the amount of bacteria that collects under nails is astounding! Sure, they look nice but, they cost a fortune. If you're into the fakes... Plus, think of the money you're wasting. if you're looking for heightened sex appeal, try lingerie instead - at least lingerie doesn't make your man bleed...
by Anonymous on January 20th, 2009
I guess you can say I'm an average 28 year old man living in jersey and I have to say that I definately prefer long over short. I don't know what is it is about a woman with long nails but it is just so hot!!! I've always been a attracted to women with long nails and I always will. These girls make guys like me weak in the knees and don't even know it. Please ladies, kick this short nail trend that's been going around and keep your nails long!!
by Jabbypants on August 17th, 2008
I love women with long nails, can't stand them short.
Guys that have coloured finger/toe nails; attractive or not?
