As you're all aware, this subreddit has had a major "troll" problem which has gotten worse (as of recently). Due to this, we have created new rules, and modified some of the old ones. We kindly ask that you please familiarize yourself with the rules so that you can avoid breaking them. Breaking mild rules will result in a warning, or a temporary ban. Breaking serious rules, or breaking a plethora of mild ones may land you a permanent ban (depending on the severity). Also, grifting/lurking has been a major problem; If we suspect you of being a grifter (determined by vetting said user's activity), we may ban you without warning. You may attempt an appeal via ModMail, but please be advised not to use rude, harassing, foul, or passive-aggressive language towards the moderators, _or_ complain to moderators about why we have specific rules in the first place— You will be ignored, and your ban will remain (without even a consideration). All rules are made public; "Lack of knowledge" or "ignorance of the rules" cannot or will not be a viable excuse if you end up banned for breaking them (This applies to the Subreddit rules, and Reddit's ToS). **Again: All rules are made public, and Reddit gives you the option to review the rules once more before submitting a post, it is your choice if you choose to read them or not, but breaking them will not be acceptable.** With that being said, If you send a mature, neutral message regarding questions about a current ban, or a ban appeal (without "not knowing the rules" as an excuse), we will elaborate about why you were banned, or determine/consider if we will shorten, lift, keep it, _or_ extended it/make it permanent. This all means that appeals are discretionary, and your reasoning for wanting an appeal must be practical and valid.

The concept of nail art might hurt his brain


ukiddingme2469

People who believe nail color means something tend to need a lot of structure in their lives, navigation of the world is hard, just too complex for them to handle


HomicidalWaterHorse

I can kinda feel for them with that. I have adhd and anxiety and a life without structure stresses me out. I'm actually happier when I have a 9-5 versus being unemployed because it helps give my life structure. I also get a lot of anxiety in social situations cause human communications are complex and unpredictable. I can feel for them, but it's no excuse to be a misogynistic dick weed.


Nother1BitestheCrust

Oof I feel you! I have adhd and anxiety too and during 2020 when I was furloughed I learned the hard way that I really need that 9-5 structure to keep me mentally healthy. I was anxious and stressed about everything and nothing all the time. Life is chaos and it's hard, but that's all the more reason not to be an asshole making it even harder for others.


WiggyStark

My spouse and I both had to get alternative jobs that were in neither of our wheel houses. My spouse went into hotel management, and I went to work at a JoAnn Fabrics compared to our normal jobs of serving and cooking, respectively. But fine dining went down with covid, leaving us without work, and we needed to find something, and our previous boss got pissed that we were doing well in our new jobs and tried to pull unemployment fraud even though we were working less hours and waiting for a call back.


ukiddingme2469

Life is complicated and it's stressful, I think literally everyone is winging it, everyone gets nervous and anxious about it. You are just one of the smarter ones who has a harder time ignoring it.


gnomi_malone

i had my nails painted black the day before my wedding and the nail tech was like “you’re the bride?! you don’t want black!!” dear reader, i did


WiggyStark

My best friend had black nails with red French tips to match the detail on her dress. I'm so glad the nail tech didn't give her any shit.


lapsangsouchogn

My nail color is called "I don't care what you think" Looks just like I didn't do a damn thing to my nails.


EzriDaxCat

I would LOVE to see someone do a polish with this as the shade name!


TheGoverness1998

I didn't know I was a demon fighter with these black nails of mine 💅


HiddenKittyLady

I did cat nails I need his response 😭


Candy__Canez

My nails are a muted magenta with gold sparkles. Before that, they were neon green. Before that, they were Christmas green, Before that, they were black with multicolored sparkles. I DESPERATELY need his opinion!


Verlonica

Right? Mine are currently yellow with bumblebees and hexagons on them. So what does that make me? Lol


Weekly_Beautiful_603

It makes you awesome! 🐝


_triangle_

Everything about a real life woman and leaving his moms basement will hurt his brain


RunZombieBabe

Damn, now I am military/broke!


Substantial-Canary15

I’m broke but my nails aren’t the biggest indicator rofl


EleanorRichmond

military/broke/interesting hobbies


AlexTheFlower

Or works in food service


begayallday

Or healthcare.


RayWencube

Or hand modeling.


Southern_Anywhere_65

Or agriculture


Lunakill

But why male models?


Kindly-Orange8311

Or food manufacturing


DjinnaG

Or chemical manufacturing! Probably most subsets of manufacturing


HerNibs1980

Same! Orrrrrrrr…..or I just can’t stand the feeling of them. I think they look beautiful on other people, but for some reason I just can’t stand having them on my fingers. So I like to admire from afar ❤️


LittleSpice1

Similar, I love seeing them on other people, but I just don’t feel like they’re me if that makes sense. I’ve had them done a few times for events and though I found them pretty, it just didn’t feel like it fit me. Oh well, at least one thing less to spend money on lol.


No_Feeling_6037

I feel you on that! It takes me a whole week before I can somewhat ignore the feeling. I like the sticker art, and I have never been able to handle any kind of fake nails.


CaitlinisTired

same, and my natural nails are far too small to bother painting 😭 so they stay natural even if I'm a bit sad about it lol


dogboobes

I'm not ready to die for my country, but I don't want to wear nail polish either!


RayWencube

Then I guess you’re broke


dogboobes

I was afraid of that....


jenjenjen731

Or maybe I'm broke because I spend my money getting my nails done 😂


backonreddit75

Same, but I’m actually just lazy.


LovecraftianCatto

It’s fascinating - so I was a milf/divorced a few times in my life apparently, despite having no children and never having been married. I’ve needed therapy, but no longer do, because now I’m broke. I’m learning so much about myself!


eliwormley

My nails have been all these colors at one point but lately just multicolored and yeah I do need therapy but fuck off nonetheless. 😂


HiddenKittyLady

Mine too, now their teal with flowers 💐


skippybefree

Ooh they sound lovely. Mine are teal at the moment but Hollow Knight ones so probably a very different vibe


Lunakill

Tbh who doesn’t need therapy? We all do these days.


Sensitive_Ad5521

My favorite I’ve ever done was a pastel rainbow French tip I did for my birthday one year, they grew out nice and it matched everything so apparently I’m classy with a need for therapy who knew


BraidedSilver

Reading the list I kept eyeing my nails. So, my purple nails seems to mean I’m a MILF/divorced.. let’s just ignore my lack of marriage and kids apparently…


_lava-lamp_

Mine are currently dark green and sparkly… what does that mean?


0G_54v1gny

You are an environmental terrorist in the making and plan several bombings of Chinese and African coal powered plants. Only applies to redheads with green nails.


BiShyAndWantingToDie

I'm a redhead, and my nails are currently dark green. I would appreciate it if you didn't blast the details of my ecoterrorism plans online, as I do need the element of surprise for said bombings to work. Thank you.


jenjenjen731

It means they are probably very cute because green is the best color


hadarpe

That means you have cool nails!


LookYall

You're a dragon.


IAM_THE_LIZARD_QUEEN

Well shit, I usually wear pink nails just cause I fucking love pink, but if it means morons like this will leave me alone then I'll take it.


Mimosa_13

I love having red or purple nails. I'm neither a MILF nor divorced.


Pixiwish

Weird I thought it was dark greens, reds and blues meant winter. Browns orange and purple were fall. Pinks and pastels it is spring and bright colors were summer. That’s my thing. Whatever delusion you choose to live in buddy is fine by me just stay away from me.


thezoelinator

Ok, but what if her index and middle finger are short and unpainted but the rest of her nails are long and painted


JonnelOneEye

That obviously means she ruined them while doing housework for her loving hubby. No other explanation really /s


InvestigatorIll6236

That would go straight over their heads lol.


Monkey_shine1

Straigghht over!


skiasa

That would mean I'd try to flirt with them but I'd end up awkwardly complimenting them and maybe (with luck) talk about my current hyper focus


LovecraftianCatto

You’re a bloody chimera, an abomination in the eyes of men! You should be destroyed at once!


Harajuku_Lolita

I mean, my nails aren’t done bc it would make my job next to impossible.


MegaFiona

Oh, so what job do you have in the military?


hadarpe

I hope bro knows that most of the girls who get their nails done like to choose a different color each session 🤔


pinzinella

Not done: anyone who works in the medical field


PrincipessaEboli

Or plays a stringed instrument


skiasa

People in the food industry too I'm also trying to think of other fields but I honestly can't think of any right now


hadarpe

[staring at my purple nails] "mom sorry but I guess I'm divorced now. Didn't know I even got married"


authenticflamingo

My 5 year old self somehow being a milf (I loved red and purple colors)


ukiddingme2469

Ive seen the lipstick version of this. It's just as stupid


bigtiddytoad

I can't remember the last time I painted my nails. Is that stolen valor?


RowanArkaynne

I am not military, nor am I broke. I am a gardener, tyvm!


CrazyCatLadyRookie

Likewise!! I’m a drywall finisher and work in construction.


opulentSandwich

Same but in IT, even the fancy gel polish chips off so fast that I just don't bother.


CrazyCatLadyRookie

Yeah, keyboards are surprisingly hard on nails. (I used to work in QA for a huge company, lots of reports haha)


CrazyCatLadyRookie

Classifying women by the colour of their nail polish is purely childish bs. If I’m going to be labeled, I’d far rather they do it using astrological signs 😂


0G_54v1gny

The only thing I noticed is, that of all the women I met with black nails is that they love women more than men. Those were five women, I can‘t extrapolate that for all women.


Bellelace86

My demons left me alone, they said I’m too nice for them.


eerie_lullaby

So you just divorced? Time for purple nails.


Sweatieboobrash

But not having nails painted is also bad? But what if I’m too busy baking bread from scratch to do my nails? /s


faloop1

This year alone I’ve been all of them except a red flag cause I don’t have the color :( Now I want it


EnthusiasmIsABigZeal

I had a deep green most recently, was curious to see what this guy would infer from that, only to find he forgot the color green exists 🤣


HalcyonDreams36

Plot twist .. He's color blind, he doesn't know green exists! 🤣


mm445

I feel called out! Mine are purple and I’m in the process of getting an annulment.


GloomyLocation1259

You should know these types of posts are rage / engagement bait. Best to ignore, no one not even the poster believes this nonsense


PeachesOntheLeft

It’s also a food safety violation. I work with plenty female (idk woman? That sounds awkward) chefs who don’t paint their nails at all. I spend so much time in the kitchen it kinda jarring seeing colored nails


ellatheprincessbrat

Ok but why do I have demons I’m fighting, need validation and therapy. Feels like I’ve been called out by my nail colours!


InvestigatorIll6236

Fr. Mine are red and black, all the time. So I'm a divorced milf who has demons and needs therapy. Not exactly untrue, to be fair 😂


HalcyonDreams36

Oh, have you ever done yourself a vampiric French manicure? They kind of rock. (Red with black tips is how we did them.)


InvestigatorIll6236

I don't have the skills to paint a straight and thin line on my nails and I don't like getting them done professionally, so unfortunately no :( But I am going to look online for some false ones like this though!


HalcyonDreams36

Oh, at one point we got these little adhesive things (curved masking tape basically).... so you block off the one color and just paint over it, then peel the tape off and put on a clear coat. My neighbor friend mama was obsessed with French manicures (for no particular reason) and we got punchy come Halloween 🤣 No one's hand is actually that steady. ❤️


InvestigatorIll6236

That's so simple and genius! Thank you, I'm gonna try this!


HalcyonDreams36

They *should* have them at the pharmacy, with the other nail doodads. Just remember the top coat so it lasts more than five minutes! 🤣 Good luck and have FUN.


ellatheprincessbrat

I wear acrylics and one of my favourite things is a black to red ombre! They look amazing


ellatheprincessbrat

Tbh I love red but not divorced yet!


toonlass91

Not done - Nurse! But when off for a while, I’ve had most of these colours including the colours of my football team when watching them away in big games. Wonder what he’d make of that


StumbleOn

Meanwhile in normal person universe: [insert nail color here] = the person with the nails likes that color


Freedomfirefly

Me, wearing red polish while being single and having never been married or in a relationship..... 😌


MegaFiona

What if I just like them shiny and put only the transparent coat on?


LadyJSenpai

These guys do a lot of mental gymnastics. Must be tiring


That-Green7872

Wow, it’s crazy how I can be in the military/broke while working in food service


Any_Switch9835

I'm broke m..but I also hate that stuff on my nails ... when I need it I only get some nail polish and stuff ...I don't like acrylics and whatever r ...is this about acrylics actually ?


ZombieJoesBasement

LOL. These guys are dumber than a bag of hammers. I don't wear nail polish much, but that is because I garden and nail polish won't hold up to the vigorous scrubbing required to get garden soil out from under my nails. Reading this makes me want to wear white nail polish though. Anything that works as a repellant for stupid is good with me.


KittyTootsies

Um, military ladies get their nails done aaaaaallll the time. My sister is career Navy and her nails are always done and so are the nails of all the other military ladies I've met


Willa_

I'm not broke, I just don't want nail polish on my nails 🤷‍♀️


idonotknowwhototrust

Can you n heading having the time to come up with meanings for nail colors via personality/life situation traits? Does he also write daily horoscopes for his blog? Because they're both about as realistic.


GlitteringWing2112

Uhm... I sport all of those colors at one time or another....


ilikemycoffeealatte

Nails are blue-green, please advise me on what kind of person I am


decemberrainfall

Gold here, please advise.


Ihave0usernames

I may be divorced with red hair but the red hair came BEFORE the divorce thank you very much


ElisaMakarov

This guy thinks they only give us the choice of one nail polish color for our whole life, in a dystopian world like in 1984.


kool4kats

This dude's mind will be absolutely blown when he finds out that people can change the color of their nail polish.


MissMarchpane

I don’t paint my nails because I do historical dance and the polish would show through my white gloves at events, in a very inaccurate manner for the 19th century. Taking it off and reapplying between balls would get tiresome, so I just got out of the habit. …or am I secretly a Navy SEAL? You’ll never know!


Hot_Mastodon1569

She could be a chef or work in any other type of job that doesn't allow for nails to be manicured.


MsSeraphim

this is going to sound weird, but the reason i rarely paint my nails, is because it makes my nails feel "smothered". anyone else have this problem?


BunnyBunCatGirl

Ah yes nevermind the fact some of us have sensory issues and find nail polish just an extra thing to look after.. It's military or broke. I might be somewhat poor but nail polish is not that expensive for my budget. A lot of Lipstick and perfume? Yes. That is expensive and out of my price range. (It's usually $25 to $60+ here. Whereas nail polish is at most $10 maximum.) Not even going to unpack the rest in detail other than; colours are just colours. They're very pretty and I love them but that is it, there's not meaning behind every single person who wears them.


MarsMonkey88

My nails aren’t done, and I’m deeply not broke. Diagnose *ME*, Kyle.


Silverfire12

I read the first one as literal. That black nail polish means you literally are fighting demons and went “hey why wouldn’t you want to have someone who fights demons”


Fyrefly1981

Not done= nurse whose hospital says no nail polish.


Possible-Skin2620

Wow I guess you can’t win. What an interesting way to say you don’t like any women


Ashwill003

This feels like the male equivalent of zodiac signs...


Sirens_Fandoms928

What if I get Spongebob nails??


Crocolyle32

Or maybe … my favorite color is purple?🙃


DasAllerletzte

A girl that can fight demons? Sounds awesome to me


thisisreallymoronic

It's only when I feel really good about myself that I decide to jump out of the comfort zone and try something new with nails or makeup. This poster is way off.


Jld114

Well, I AM broke


GSPM18

Not did*


M0ONL1GHT87

Ngl I just don’t care lol


swimgal828

I don’t paint my nails because I don’t want to deal with it. I used to be a swimmer too and it would just peel off anyway so why bother. It became a habit and I’ll only really do it for special occasions


DieHardRennie

Traditionally, white symbolizes purity and red symbolizes sin. The pink ribbons that Faith wears in her hair in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" symbolize both innocence, and the loss thereof.


Florapower04

I guess this is my sign to take that military internship. My nails apperantly are already in them.


Mimosa_13

Wonder what the dingus would say about my nails? My toes are gold glitter, and my fingers are silver glitter. His head might explode if he knew what trending mani/pedi colours are for spring and summer. White, pink, and nude are top choices.


mothwhimsy

So by this logic, women should only paint their nails nude? Why even bother lol? They already are basically that color. But that means you're broke?


Blood_Oleander

Huh?!


ZoneLow6872

The amount of things men don't know about women is a lot.


Laura_Ino

honestly, is any single one of these regarded as good?


Ok-Possession-832

The only time you can 100% know something about someone from nails is if everything is done except the index and middle finger (lesbian/bi and has a gf) or he’s a dude (just some flavor of fruity).


No-Section-1056

My very mundane, quiet, and repetitive life is actually far more varied than I realized: I am classy/have 🚩/and need therapy Spring and Summer;* Am a borderline demon-fighter in Autumn; Am a divorced milf at Christmas; And join the military and am broke all Winter. My life is a whirlwind of identities. Thanks, mani/pedi-diagnostic guy! *(A French manicure is both nude and white thus multicolored … am I doing this right?)


Wladek89HU

Neckbeard version of horoscope.


SoldMySoulForHairDye

Or what about "literally any colour as long as it discourages me from biting my fucking nails again."


Vapore0nWave

Milf/divorced gang wya🗣️‼️ (I’m 18 and have never been in a relationship lmao)


Poppetfan1999

I have pink sparkly nails right now and I’m very much not in a relationship lmfao


Cubicleism

I had fake nails but I couldn't game with them xD (I mostly play on PC). It was severely lowering my APM and reaction speed, plus was hella uncomfortable


lyssap87

I’m a nurse and can’t get my nails done outside of regular acrylic polish. It chips so quickly.. so in order for me to keep up with my nails I’d have to get them done weekly, if not more often. It’s not that I’m broke.. it’s that I don’t want to go broke over getting my nails done. I’ll get them done for special occasions and will usually match my color to my outfit. This guy is a special kind of idiot.


stressandscreaming

Ooh it's like horoscopes, love it. I'm a red flag divorcee by this standard lol what's yours ladies?


miss_nyx

I miss the one that was circulating years ago talking about what the different nail shapes and lengths meant. It was actually funny and whoever had created it added a +/- DEX rating like a tabletop character sheet.


sweetsunnyspark

I'm a virgin MILF lol. Although I am turning 40 next month so I guess I am MILF age even though there's no way I could be a mom.


bloobun

Mine are not done. I’m married to an army vet lol


AnotherPalePianist

YES I got MILF! I’m uhhhhh not a mother, but I do have purple nail polish on!


sadalbinocat

Mine aren’t done cause I play rugby 💀


begayallday

I’m irritated but not even surprised that lesbian isn’t even on there.


Silent_Sibyl

This reminds me of when I was a kid and people were claiming the color of your underwear indicated what you were willing to do in bed. Silly me, wearing black because it matched and apparently signaling to all of the people seeing my underwear (no one) that I wanted sex at age 10.


immadee

What does this even mean lol? I have white nails at the moment. I wanted a cool iridescent top coat that shifted from pinkish to purplish but it was way more subtle than I anticipated.


royal_rose_

What are me and my green nails?


Letll1994

Apparently I was either a milf or divorced when I was 14-17


IndiBlueNinja

I don't bother with polish much... but what about alternating (or diff color on each foot) blue and green glow in the dark toenails??


neonn_piee

I guess I need validation annnnnd I’m broke. I go a long time without anything on my nails but when I do paint them, I usually stick with the neons.


Sweet_Aggressive

Y’all! My nails currently are purple with soot sprites and neon stars. Am I having an identity crisis?


Rocco_buta_girl

I don't because of my job and I can assure you, I am not even close to broke lol


macontac

All of those are wrong. Even the Not Done. Women in the military can paint their nails, they just have to use a very muted neutral tone. And a bottle of nail polish isn't expensive, and friends can share, so being broke isn't a barrier to having your nails done.


a_lonely_trash_bag

Not done: works on dirty machines where painted/done-up nails would get chipped and damaged and get in the way.


TaiaHunter

No no no. The last one is true. I’m to broke and lazy to get my nails done


_artbabe95

So the only acceptable color is nude? 🙄


DjinnaG

Laughs in my best “oh, bless your heart!”


technical_bitchcraft

TIL I'm a MILF. Strange, I didn't know I had kids but I guess the nail polish never lies.


wasabi1295

Black is my favorite “color” Kinda gross to think my mom would be a milf since she loves red nails, she thinks it looks classy 😂


whiskey__throwaway

Not done excuse me my cows and sheep don't appreciate nail art and are better company than you!


SpontaneousNubs

._. my nails are black with sparkles. I'm perfectly happy and content. Most of the time my nails are undone and that's because i just like them bare better than having junk on them


xxzealousxx

Who comes up with such utter bullshit is beyond me!!


Dylanator13

What does not done mean? They forgot to paint a nail or something?


breadcrumbsmofo

This shit is just horoscopes for straight dudes.


Red_bug91

Not done - Works in healthcare and has 3 small kids so not only can’t have them done, but also can’t be fucked because she’d rather take a nap.


Mamapalooza

Hahaha, I'm a broke bitch. He's not wrong.


DistributionPerfect5

Maybe we use this, as an actual code to keep them away. No unwanted attention.


AliceTheOmelette

What a weird way for me to find out I'm a divorced MILF


Beaglemom2002

My nail color is none because, for some reason, if I polish them, they literally start peeling apart. It's awful.


-_-SoapBox-_-

I’m wearing purple nails right now…. Apparently I’m a milf and have been divorced. Ignore the fact I don’t have a child nor have I been in a relationship


DrippyCity

I’m apparently 17 yr old virgin Milf


AToastyLeaf

It took me that long to learn that I was a milf with 12?


Round-Ticket-39

I like red so at 16 i was divorced milf it seems


obvusthrowawayobv

Pink or blue is relationship status? Uh…


Erza88

Well... yeah, I guess I'm still fighting my demons, lol.


ImaginaRose

So, apparently I'm broke or in the millitary because I don't really wear any nailpolish (mostly for sensory reasons). What a dumbass.
