Oh I'm always generally in a good mood when I leave.  Most of the ladies that work there are very nice and we enjoy conversations on cultural differences and how they view the United States.

Then you, sir, are in dire need of at least a manicure.

See your O'Club rep for details.

Well, I clip my nails as Im climbing out. Really! I have a pair of clippers at my computer/flight desk.

Does that count?

A manicure I can almost live with. But your feet? A mans feet? Toes even? :uhoh

I'd have to see an overwhelming "Pro pedicure" vote here by the men to consider it. And only 21yo and over for voting purposes. I'd hate to get my toes done and then have everyone say, "We were only joking, and you really are gay".

Even men have to take good care of their feet. They take you everywhere you go ~ why not make sure they're in good enough condition to do that in comfort?

A Question for Mrs iTunes this one I think, I can speak from the point of view that having the misfortune to actually end up in one of  said places while waiting for Mrs iTunes, Is that it's a Journey to the cauldron of hell, Womens magazines everywhere, bunches of cackling women everywhere and usally another dude sitting there squirming in a similar fate to my own.

Will never get one of those sissy jobs done.  My feet are just fine and I don't need to do that crazy crap to my hands.  Besides, when you shake another man's hand, you know how hard he works or what kind of a guy he usually is.

Seriously, you guys need to look into it.

And ask for warm, wet, lavender-scented face towel to have applied while they work your hands and feet.

It's heavenly.

Well Ive made it 50 years pounding the ground getting where I need to without go into Sallys nails and getting a toe job by a guy named Johnny Cakes. Maybe I could live with it if a woman did it but even then I'd think about the $ I spent on toes that were going to end up in work boots all the time anyways.

I will however proudly say in this forum that when it comes to giving a woman a foot massage I am the Foot Master. Ive been chased down the street by female hordes begging for foot massages.

Sounds like someone is missing out one something VERY special.

Go ahead, try it.  If your noodle falls off after you get one then you may have a legitimate gripe.

What if some others actually don't see any need for such things?

Me being one of them.. Just clipped my toenails using household scissors and that's all the pedicure I need. Or is the problem perhaps that once you get too obese to bend down to clip your nails, this heavenly thing comes to play?  :D

Mom does have a point, though.

I don't know about other branches of service but, in the Army, foot care is in the top 5 of important pieces of equipment to look after.

Keeping feet warm, dry, blister/fungus free, no ingrown nails and problem free, in general, is an integral part of soldiering.

Battles have been won or lost on the condition of the Army's feet.  A soldier that cannot hump from battlefield to battlefield, is of no use.

In addition, having to make a trip to sick-call for ill maintained feet in the US Army is an infraction punishable by Article 15, depending on how bad they are or how badly they have been neglected.

Pedicures are not to effeminate once one considers that ingrown toenails are casued 90% of the time by clipping the nails too short.

Carrying over this crazy habit from Army life has not hurt me one bit.  I always make they are clean and dry, and have some foot powder on them before they get stuffed into a work boot.

Lastly, the human foot has more nerve endings per square inch than any other body part.  They register pain or pleasure more intensely than  any other appendage.  That is why these women chase after you.   That is also why Reflexologists get away with charging exorbitant sums of money.  Why wouldn't one take care of them?

Keeping that in mind, there is nothing "girly" about keeping all of your "equipment" in fighting trim.

this was our third pass over the carranza memorial, as seen by our cadets on the ground. there's more pics on my hd at home, including the other cessna that was with us. this one was the final pass, so rather than fly a loose formation as we had in the previous two passes, these were low, high speed(sorta) passes.

this might not be the same, but in the past month, i've gone through 2 ingrown toenails......u would NOT believe how much they hurt. i could barley walk with the one on my big toe. wondering now, if doing this would hepl prevent that............

Please don't hijack the thread with useless posts about engines and army talk.

This is about being a metro and any metro knows repeated ingrown toe nails (Eww!) is a symptom of buying shoes that are too narrow.  That's why you should buy flip-flops, especially when you are sporting those hot new bell-bottom or flared jeans.  Abercrombie & Fitch, the place to shop, guys!

God bless America.  :salute

I've worked construction jobs, been on road maintenance crews, and have been in the military.  I ain't no limp wristed metro, by any stretch of the imagination.  Having a pedicure done is like getting a new pair of feet.  TXMom, is right they are your feet, you should take care of them.  My views on men getting manicures is pretty similar.  The image is of someone who is paying attention to the little details, taking care of themselves, and wanting to present a good image of themselves toward others.

More than once a week?

Korean or Vietnamese?

Buff and/or trim only?

Flip flops with jeans?



Once a month a mani & pedi, when I take the little girl in for ladybug nails*( last time was red w/black dots, this time will be yellow w/green dots)

young Viet chick; keeps giving me her home phone number.  what is up with that?

Buff & trim; no clear-coat & absolutly no polish (why do they keep saying "pick your color" to me?)

Slides with Armani Exchange jeans; sometimes with a Hermes' courier bag & always with Gucci sunglasses that my wife buys for me
