manicures and pedicures for men

Alert! My regular check of Mama's calendar usually gives me a two to three week look ahead to when her mani and mani-pedi are scheduled.

The latter offers me a good three to four hour window in which I am usually (usually, not always) able to plan ahead for an extra "away from home" unscheduled and out of Mama's sight time frame in which I am free to play.

Thing is, about half the time her mani/pedi tech may have to cancel on short notice! Has happened, but then I need to manufacture another reason for leaving the hacienda. Her m-p appointments are pretty much every three to four weeks with a mani in between. I have some very regular "standing" items on my calendar which over the years have given me many windows, but it is always nice to have an extra window or two per month. (Once upon a time in days of old I published ck1942's 365 days of the reasons to be out of the hacienda on a regular basis, with a few un-scheduled rationales -- deaths in the community, additional ad-hoc committee meetings, etc., etc. That manual died with aspd, of course.)

As for my nails, upper I do my self and long standing "nail exercises" and proper diet have given me really strong fingernails. Lower nails sometimes require agility to overcome my waistline and lower back issues which on a bad day make clippers sometimes difficult to operate properly. But one of my fave UTR MP's also has a compadre who is licensed for nails (and who also gives great BJs and when especially horny loves to sex me standing up, sitting down, sideways and especially loves to be eaten out. Heck, last time I did that she tried to give me back my Benjamin since "you get me more orgasms than either of my two ex-husbands or my high school sweetheart!"

But I digress.

I get a pedicure about every 2-3 weeks -- throw in a manicure when I feel the need - seeing a girl in the next day I will definitely get a mani. Also getting mani-pedi days now with the grand-daughter.

If you find one in Dallas like that, let's go to the shooting range and then get a mani/pedi to fix the broken nails from picking up brass.

I've had one of each once, and I probably won't ever again. Doesn't really last long or do much given my profession/hobbies.

I'm all for a foot massage - giving or getting. Though, I think there are more fun and exciting things to be done with our hands instead.

I get manis often...now as far as pedi...NOPE my feet are frugly, hell I leave my ankles socks on during sex! Don't want the Ladies to say, UGH. I do wish they looked better but......

If you at least keep your nails short that would be great. Short and clean... Because otherwise I can't taste myself off of your finger.

I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. Originally Posted by Infinite

Once a month for like last 12yrs. Same chic so she really knows my hands and feet.. I like to wear slides so it helps with that. You be surprised at how many women look at men's feet with sandals on.. just saying

I get both every 4 to 6 weeks and have did so for the last 8 years. Foot and hand massages are awesome too. I have a lot of male friends that rib me plenty about it, but gentlemen, if you have never had it done, you really need to check it out. Where I go, I am usually never the only man there either. Prior to 8 years, I was the one doing the ribbing too. I eat a lot of crow now.

I get regular Mani/Pedi with hot wax and full treatment. I usually take a lady or two with me. Its a great way to get to know someone to share these experiences IMHO

thanks for the answers....interesting

{I luv giving foot massages....}

Ladies....your opinions on guys and pedis/manis

My feet look good and I've never had a manicure or pedicure

Get toes done every three weeks

Dallas

Do enough to stay clean and healthy for
hands and feet. Trimmed finger/toenails.. Needs an industrial grinder sometimes.. :-)

Long toenails
Will eventually break off unevenly with wingtip type shoes, tear socks
So essential to trim toenails.

Finger nails.. Well difficult to type with those especially on the micro Keyboards on cell phones. So they are trimmed as well.

That's about it...
