Actually, I prefer an orbital sander myself.

 

been there ,done that
girls ..........I USE A CHAINSAW

 

My wife talked me into getting s pedicure with her a while back........ wasn't really impressed.
Not enough to pay for it again.

 

Maybe she was remembering getting her own ankles and feet all scratched up on her honeymoon.

 

I have had a few manicures before, I went to a trade school so my tech shop would go up the cosmetology class and get manicures from the girls since that's how they were graded... I had no complaints as the cosmetology girls were cute!! Like others have said, not something I would pay for though...

 

Actually an Oxy/Acetylene torch does a good job!

Personally I bite my nails so no need for a manicure here! When I get a tough one I get the torch out.

 

I starting to think the fall of the USA is due to all you "girls" getting your nails and toes done! I'm kinda of the crowd that cuts their nails when you get tired of scraping dirt and grease out of them! And I'll clip my own toe nails when my work socks start to show holes in the front of my socks! I'm really suprised about all the guys talking about the nail jobs they got! I thought the man rule was that you didn't talk about the hand massage/manicure your wife/girlfriend gave you! I guess I'm out of the loop!

 

Even if I WANTED to do it, in the winter, I lose nails to getting fingers bashed doing firewood, tractor chains, salting. In the summer I lose the nails working on vehicles, grinding welds, cutting wood, bashing with hammers...

 

You guys had me laughing out loud.... @ 0dark30 - I think I woke up the wife -

 

Besides, I thought nailclippers were for haning on the fishing vest?

 

I know a bunch of guys in the oilfield that NO ONE would want to mess with that get pedicures on a regular basis. When you spend 14-15 hours a day in steel toe work boots I can see why. More so for the foot massage that the pretty nail factor.

Ha, you beat me to it...

Bout 27 years of nailbiting. I can kick every other habit Ive ever had but that.

 

I now remember that my nephew ( wifes side ) is a sissy. A few year ago he was here on vacation and helping me change some spark plug wires. He was pulling on one when it popped off and his hand hit something. Well he starts screaming and jumping all around and screaming and screaming so much that my neighbor from across the street came running over to see what the problem was. Ya know what, not even a mark on his hand.

Another time we all went out for lunch, he was playing pinball and when he lost he through such a fit everyone in the place was looking at us.

he will be here in about two months, its gonna be a long week!!!!

 

good luck

 

haha yall are funny

I think men should be men but on this one occasion he should go in and get a manicure. Basically you'll get your hands rubbed on and massaged, your nails cleaned up and get those callused mitts nice for the wedding. There are a few reasons:

1. Pictures - sometimes the girls want the photographer to get a pic of the couple's hands and rings. It's a chick thing, for the wedding album.

2. She don't want to feel like she's being pawed by a bear.

3. Hygiene - not going into detail but girls do appreciate it!

4. If she's happy, you'll be happy.


Chalk it up as one of those little things you have to grin and bear it. The manicure is not really to "do your nails" but just make your hands presentable and feel good. Think of it as a wash, wax and detail. Yall can go back to torches and grinders after the honeymoon.

 

if she cant deal with the grinders and torches before the wedding she won't be able to deal with those AND me after
