One of the stranges comments I've ever read...

How does 'beautifying' ones self, make one 'gay'??

I don't get it....

Considering most, the vast majority of gay males, are of the 'masculine' stock...and would never paint their feet, I'm not understanding your logic...

Is a peacock gay? I mean peacocks are very colorful birds, and male...so are they gay also??



Infact many of the male species in nature (particularly among the birds) are decorated in extravigant colors...but yet their 100% male...

What's up with that? and why can't the same apply to homo sapiens?

...FAAAABULOUS!
Wouldn't it be cool if they could come out with something like this??



It takes the whole nail polishing thing to a whole different level...

Well anyhow, if there's any designers out there who need an idea, here ya go...

Who says guys can't be creative in beauty, design and fashion...

I think it is cool. Why some things should only be for women? There is no reason for that. My friend's son used to paint his toe nails .

Cool^^

I do it for the adrenaline rush...

And there's a rebellion factor in there too...
To truly rebel, you've got to do something most do not (I'm speaking harmless fashion statements here)....

If a throw on a leather jacket and black boots, and a white T-shirt as a guy, that's not really rebeling or challenging yourself...for your expected to do that anyways...

Not only that, but every morning that I wake up, I have to look at my feet, and I don't like looking at dull ugly bland feet, expecially my own...

So I treat myself to some color now and then....

If I had a girlfriend, I seriously doubt I would ever do it...

I'm single, have been for a while, but when a guys with a woman, something just kicks in, and you stop doing stuff like that, usually...cause now the woman becomes your object of affection and beauty, rather than yourself...

But as a single guy, alone in my own dwelling, when walking around barefoot, I like looking at 'pretty feet', even if their my own...vs looking at dull dry bland male feet...(your own)...

Why?

I would paint them for him. Many girls are into make up guys, guys just usually do not like it.

That would be an area of personal growth or exploration I would definatly have to work on....

I'm not sure why........

I think the presence of women just triggers the 'macho gene' in most men...(no such thing as macho gene, just being silly)...

But ye, if I had a lady in my life, I'd be to enthrolled with her, than to worry about myself anymore...

But you know...I was in Arkansa once, and saw just that...a black guy, and his white girlfriend walked into a 'Loves' truck stop...and his feet were painted up...

But hardly no one noticed, cause who looks down...but I did...almost said something, like 'wow, I see I'm not the only one'...

but I didn't want to come as sounding 'smart', so I remainded quiet...

And I saw it again while in Savanah, GA...a slender light skinned younger black guy walked into a convient store with painted up feet...

Now that took guts...it takes a lot of guts to actually do it openly in public while wearing flip-flops...

Another interesting note about the two guys wearing nail polish on their feet...

I believe the one with his girlfriend was 'straight'....
But the one who walked into the convient store was 'gay'...

Each had a totally different swagger to them...

Whatever floats your boat. You're not harming anybody. I understand the adrenaline rush from rebelling/breaking rules. It comes out in different ways for different people. For me, it comes from driving really fast.

I was amused by the painted toenails (mostly green and blue) of river guides when I went whitewater rafting last summer. They explained it protects their toes...
