Its ok for a woman to grow her fingernails long. What about toe nails? Is there a certain length that is correct? When does it cross that line?

And when men grow their nails out, is their a certain length that is just...eeeew.

And how long down the evolutionary chain til we lose our toenails? What do we need them for?

You are amazing really, this is the best thread I've seen all year.

Women can grow their nails however long they desire, it's men that should not exceed a certain length because they do all the manly work and it would cause problems. If the female chooses to do manly work she too will have difficulties so it's better left up for the man.

Toe nails should not exceed a certain length so you can walk and put on shoes easily. We have not lost our toe nails though they are simply cut by artificial means now. I was thinking about this too recently, exactly how did we groom ourselves before abilities to cut them existed?

This is a question which requires an opinionated answer, so here's mine: long toe nails (as in anything visibly protruding from the toe) is gross. I'm a little more lenient on fingernails, but still, long isn't good. Short fingernails are more classy, and are cleaner.

And when men grow their nails out, is their a certain length that is just...eeeew.

I bite my nails profusely, so this isn't a problem to me. I usually don't like guys with long fingernails because they always clip me in the face during an intense game of backyard basketball.

Is this nonsense what the evolutionists are telling you? Don't believe this bullshit. We've had toenails since the dawn of man, and we will have them until all of mankind perishes.

Beyond a point its too much in both

sam's right, great thread ;)

Tell that to wisdom teeth and the appendix. :rolleyes:

Again, why do we need toenails?

Last time I checked, we still had wisom teeth and appendixes. This "evolutionary process" sure is slow. Or maybe, it's just plain stupid.

Not all of us have wisdom teeth. And those of us that do end up having them pulled because we don't need them. What do we need an appendix for.

WHAT DO WE NEED TOENAILS FOR?????

And does anyone here have a normal looking pinkie toenail??

How the hell am I supposed to know? Point is, we have them. Evolution must have overlooked it.

WHAT DO WE NEED TOENAILS FOR?????

Scratching our legs with our feet?

And does anyone here have a normal looking pinkie toenail??

Yes

...

I'm sure at one time, they did serve a purpose...to provide extra traction. I imagine now they just provide a small amount of protection for the tips of the toes....like little crash helmets.

LOL, little crash helmets...I'll buy that. I want to go draw little faces on them now. I think my most beat up toe will be Evel Knievel.

As you're probably already aware, they are vestigial claws, same as our fingernails. But it's not as though life forms lose features the moment they aren't really being used anymore. Environmental and sexual selection are what determines what stays, and what goes. There is no conscious goal with evolution.

And does anyone here have a normal looking pinkie toenail??

Probably not, nor a normal looking pinkie toe. You only see those on people who grow up not wearing shoes.

Appendix isn’t useless at all: It’s a safe house for bacteria

Ask a Creationist.! They have an answer for everythin.

Solid evidence for Intelligent Design. Or perhaps it is more appropriately called 'Retarded Design'. Given that the Bible says that humans were made in God's image, and humans are retarded, then its no surprise that God himself is a retard. Right?

Cretin. You made me choke on my grapes.

I don't grow my nails out. I always found it annoying. Plus for hygiene issues as well. I am always distrustful of people who work in food preparation who have long nails... especially when they wear nail polish. God knows what's growing under there. Short and neat and clean is the way I keep mine. Once they have grown past the tip of my finger, I file them down.

As for toenails... It's too much when you can see that they have grown. I saw this guy the other day in the supermarket and he had sandals on. I kid you not, his toenails were just about touching the floor. They looked like claws. It was disgusting.:bawl:

I do find toenails tastier than fingernails, anyone else find that true as well? :)

May I ask, did anyone find a bag of WHAT THE FUCK in here? If so, could you please return it to the lost and found. Cheers.

oh yeah man.

:runaway:

For both men and women, finger and toe nails should not pass the end of the finger/toe. And nails should NOT be bitten down to the quick.

Its ok for a woman to grow her fingernails long. What about toe nails? Is there a certain length that is correct?There's a practical limit if you wear shoes. Even if you don't, most people accidentally bump their toes into things more often than they do their fingers. A long toenail would be in danger of being bent backward by the impact and even ripped off the skin. That probably happened to one Sumerian princess in 3500BCE and she screamed so loud that no woman since then has tried it. :)And when men grow their nails out, is their a certain length that is just...eeeew.I'm always surprised, on the rare occasion that I run into a man with a manicure, that his fingernails are just a little bit "too long" by the standards of the corner saloon. They're about halfway between what most guys think is about right and "slob" length.

As a bass guitarist I have to trim the nails on my left hand every week and they're about half the length of a manicure. Since I'm doing it, I do the right hand too. I'm the one guy in the entire mall that the women from the cosmetics counter chase down to tell me about their spiffy new nail care products. They think I'm really into nail care!And how long down the evolutionary chain til we lose our toenails?In case you haven't noticed by looking around, our species overrode natural selection many generations ago and replaced it with deliberate selection. I never met anyone of either sex who put "only the shortest and most vestigial toenails" on their list of attractive features for mating, so it ain't gonna happen in the near future.What do we need them for?We don't need them but even our closest relatives the chimps, bonobos and gorillas can use theirs to scratch an itch. (And I bet everybody here has done that once or twice, even though we don't have good kinesthetic sense in that area and probably hit the wrong spot on the first try.) Losing them is just not a high priority in evolution. The only problem they cause is the need to keep them trimmed, and even that is only since we stopped going barefoot and wearing them down on the landscape.Not all of us have wisdom teeth.I've never met anyone who didn't. They just don't descend and then they have to be dug out.And does anyone here have a normal looking pinkie toenail??I don't know what you mean by "normal." As near as I can tell, mine look just like the others.

BTW: You know what one principal difference is between men and women? Men NEVER talk about their fingernails!

...I've never met anyone who didn't. They just don't descend and then they have to be dug out. ..

My son has no wisdom teeth. He is also missing 1 top premolar and 1 bottom premolar. His dentist, his orthodontist and his oral surgeon have all seen the x-rays. He doesn't have them. :D The kid has saved us a fortune. But they also don't line up, kinda like Tom Cruise's teeth, but not so bad.

My son has no wisdom teeth.

At all ? How old is he ?

He's 17. Apparently my maternal grandpa had no upper wisdom teeth. I just considered it evolution in action. I've heard that not everyone is born with an appendix either. But how would you know?

Interesting.. never heard of it before. I guess he's lucky then.

I guess you wouldn't, under normal circumstances..
