Hi Guys Todd here, been months since I started wearing deeper,darker colors on my toes.. With suprisingly HOT results.. Hit on twice,one by a woman I know in passing and one by a stranger.. Both came to me while looking at my nails.. I turned them away.. Married and would dream of screwing up my years with my wife.. My biggest hold up hold back is my family.. They don’t know about my nails.. I’ve been out many times and been all over the place including my Dr.s appointments and no issues, but the kids and other family members are a concern for me still..

It is amazing how little people look at feet. If your wife could go two weeks without noticing, it is no wonder people rarely react to polished toes on men. I wear all sorts of colors and nail art designs and rarely get a single comment. So now, I wear what I like without worry.

I’m not sure if I was completely clear before:
1) The paint on your hubby’s toes was JUST paint – the same stuff that’s on his car…
2) Neither the color of his toes, nor the color on his car, have anything to do with his masculinity – if either affects YOUR ESTIMATION of his masculinity, I suggest that you think a little about how you define masculinity, and how (or WHETHER..) the elements of your definition have any real relationship to whether a man is “a good, manly man”.

BTW, it was funny. I’d been coloring my toes since late summer and then I did the brown that I bought, and my wife who notices everything didn’t notice. So then I ask her what she thought of the color, and she kind of was like When did you do that, and I say 2 weeks ago. LOL! She also has a strong sense of what others think but then after that she just said, well, toe color really isn’t a gender is it, and I say no, it’s just color. She’s just not one that likes surprises, she needs to warm up to the ideas, but then she’s cool.

Married, hetero, three kids and cats/dogs/mortgage and everything.

I’ve been taking care of my hands and nails since I was a kid and loved the 80′s. You could wear nail polish, eye makeup and more and nobody gave a fig.

So now, I am mid forties, decided to grow my hair out (brush cut for 20+ years), keep my nails clear lacquered (hands) and my toes a fantastic deep metallic cherry (good enough for a mustang, good enough for toes). I also paint my wifes toes and fingers (she’s not a polish type) and my daughter. She goes to school telling her friends her dad gave her french tips.

I still cover the feet around most family (rednecks) and only go full dark on my hands around halloween (did black and red reverse french tips with gold glitter overlay this year).

Is it hard? Yes. Is it scary? Sometimes. It says more about the stage of society we live in than the choice to wear polish itself. Our primary fear is being “assaulted and ridiculed” by homophobic men (and women). That means the real problem is homophobia and a general “hatred” of the feminine. Imagine what it’s like to be actually gay. That fear you feel is just a whiff. To help youself, help others first. Be there to support their community and help end the problem for EVERYONE.

It’s time to stop beating up on the feminine and glorifying the false machismo associated with masculinity. My masculinity is based on my understanding of the feminine. Does my wife approve? She doesn’t need to. Anymore than I dictate what she wears.

Today I picked up a deep pearl chocale brown from Sally Hansen. What a cool color, almost a deep chestnut brown, called Coco a go-go. Nice coverage 2 coats. Also freshened up my pink pearl with a deeper mauve pink called shimmering nude. Blends really nice with skin tone and has a metallic sheen to it. But I;m thinking these may be too light now for fall anyway. Then again, it’s getting past sandal season anyway.

Can I have a link to the pics of the white toenail polish. I am thinking of doing that myself. Anything that shows off my tan is a good thing!

Hey guys, Went to the largest mall in our area with my wife last weekend, in Gunmetal blue toenails and flip flops, got some looks and smiles from both men and women.. Felt good to be walking around in the world the way I want. If it bother others don’t look is my thought. I really hate to think guys who want to do this don’t because of what others “might” think.. I was afraid of that, but not anymore.. As I said earlier on this site I’m 51 and straight with grown kids.. Who really knows how much time you have on the earth, would have hated to be on my death bed and said to my wife “boy I wish I would have painted my toes just once”.. lol not that its that important, but its something I wanted.. Men do want you want life it to short..

Man… i really don’t think you understood what he wrote lol.

He said the same you tried to say. haha. Relating the ridiculousness of wearing nail polish to what would be ridiculous to call any woman wearing pants a lesbian.
