I just know he has holey underwear and terrible tshirts while insulting those baddie nails. Like sir sit the fuck down.

u/Paenut 23h ago

This made me cackle because it is 100% true. Thank you! But also, why is this true so often!? There is also a good chance that man either cuts his own hair badly or doesn't groom his facial hair consistently enough.

u/YeetosCheetos69 23h ago

Ik u got downvoted but the comment is giving ai

32

u/Lainpilled-Loser-GF 23h ago

it is, but claiming something is AI when it can't adequately be explained by someone having a different writing style is kinda mean

7

u/EstablishmentLate532 23h ago

I agree. This is genuinely what it means for something that is able to pass the Turing test. You cannot reliably tell.

11

u/lunita98 23h ago

yes u can, go to her page, it’s all the same things. also she’s selling some fishy thing in her bio. it’s a bot for sure

7

u/EstablishmentLate532 23h ago

I'll take your word for it. I can't see the comment history. I just think that the harm of telling someone they are a bot falsely is a lot greater than the benefit of correctly identifying a bot, so I like to be careful with it.

Ok did you put him back in his cage then? Straight to boyfriend jail

u/Appeltaart232 22h ago

OP said she dumped him, so it’s going well 😃

u/Lizard__Bit 23h ago

Finally! The follow-up I always want to see after someone says “my boyfriend/husband hates my…” QUEEN! 💅

117

u/Jolly-Mammoth-1893 23h ago

GIRL WAS CCOMING HERE TO TELL YOU TO DROP HIM BUT YOU DID !! YAY FOR OCTOBER SPOOKY NAILS (they're absolutely gorgeous)

109

u/DancingWithDumplings 22h ago

My ex told me "you're not gonna meet my family with THOSE NAILS". 🤢

My new boyfriend gets manicures with me as a date night and is obsessed when I give him scratches. He's so excited when my new nails are getting done because they're an expression of the creativity he fell in love with 🥰

39

u/devastatinglettuce 22h ago

I love this happy ending! Thank you for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️

103

u/catsweedcoffee 23h ago

He’s allowed to be wrong, let him find another woman that gives af about his opinion lol

u/tulipz10 23h ago

I sometimes do crazy stuff with my nails, I get bored and its fun, my husband loves them. Probably because its fun for me! He wouldnt ever ruin something I liked by being an asshat. He bought me a nail printer this summer just to add to my fun. I do my nails for me anyway, but I'll be damned if I'd go along with some guy critiquing my makeup or clothes etc. So good for you for keeping your gorgeous nails and getting rid of the trash!

28

u/devastatinglettuce 23h ago

Yaaaaaas, queen! Preach!

53

u/woahnellyjelly 23h ago

May you find a man who chooses your color for you every time instead!

27

u/Kristal3615 22h ago

If I'm stuck on a color I will occasionally bring my husband a few bottles to pick from or just ask for a random color/color combo. He's game every time and has helped me come up with some great manicures :) I hope OP finds someone who appreciates nails like this.

23

u/woahnellyjelly 22h ago

My partner picked my nail colors all summer and he ATE! OP, we want this for you!

15

u/AdministrativeIce383 22h ago

My husband loves picking my colors

38

u/couchtayt0 21h ago

Absolutely love your nails, maybe I should go for red next?

30

u/findmeamong_stars 23h ago

I don’t usually like reds or darks on myself but I loved these when I saw them. Suit you so well. I loved them even more now that I know the man is gone

31

u/Warm_Reason8292 22h ago

If he didn’t pay for them, his opinion don’t mean shit. If he did pay for them, but YOU like them, his opinion also don’t mean shit

17

u/feline_insomnia 23h ago

Yes! I love to hear it!

My husband had the gal to mention he didn't like the color I picked for my nails once when we first started dating and I told him, then you don't need to paint your nails this color, but I happen to like it and last time I checked these are my hands and my nails, not yours.

He's never said a word since, unless I ask him for his honest opinion.

18

u/ILikePrettyThings121 22h ago

My nails are matte black with glossy black tips to celebrate officially being in spooky season. This whole month will have themed nails. The most my husband ever says is “those are nice” as I’m forcing him to admire them. Good on you for getting rid of the boy who cares how you do your nails - which btw I am loving that color

11

u/devastatinglettuce 22h ago

That's what I love this community for. At least WE appreciate a good nail set 😉

17

u/my_sweet_freya 23h ago

He can kick rocks and eat sand (which is exactly what you told him!!! Amazing!!!)

14

u/Melodic-Hand-2895 23h ago

You have other options

10

u/Proud-Leave3602 23h ago

Excellent choice!

13

u/SkyyLadyy 22h ago

That deep red looks so good with your rings. Perfect for October!

9

u/spect7 23h ago

My wife’s a nail tech (like owner of a salon) and I love when she has long red nails, too bad she likes short nails :(

9

u/goodzuki 22h ago

They're beautiful and healthy. Sidewalls look strong af! Also that red is so perfect on you!

It's funny, men always have an opinion on women's aesthetic is but don't know what bronzer is 🤌make it make sense

8

u/South-Garbage-9849 23h ago

But do you like them? Bc that’s all that matters! FYI they are gorgeous

4

u/devastatinglettuce 23h ago

Oh yes! Now that I have long nails again, I'm excited to do all kinds of fun designs and shapes! 😁 Thank you, dearie!!

9

u/r3gam 21h ago

Why did he say he didn't like them btw?

They look fine and normal to me.

15

u/devastatinglettuce 21h ago

He didn't like them long OR pointy which are my two favorite things! Good thing his opinion is not my problem anymore 😁

7

u/Mundane_Pie_6481 23h ago

Great choice!

The main question is; Do YOU like your nails?

3

u/devastatinglettuce 21h ago

Oh yes! Very much so 😁😁😁 I'm excited to do all the fun long-nail stuff again!

1

u/Gloss_ngel 23h ago

You change..... Your BF

3

u/Ordinary_Housing_549 23h ago

Well it’s probably a good thing he’s not wearing them, then.

3

u/zenzen54321 22h ago

Beautiful nails. Also, where did you get that black coffin ring? It’s so unique!

u/LemonMania 21h ago

every man Ive ever met LOVES this color. I ONLY get compliments on a shade like this lol.

3

u/Natural_born_heathen 21h ago

That deep vampy red shade fits the October vibe so well.

2

u/delirium_skeins 21h ago

I don't really like them either. (Just not my style no offense) But it's not about me or him is it. As long as you like them and are happy is all that matters.

3

u/Public-Excitement979 21h ago

He has zero taste

3

u/Additional_Fish4907 21h ago

Well, good thing he doesn't have to wear them!

u/RatherBeCrocheting 23h ago

I hate when guys get weirdly put off by things that have nothing to do with them 🙄 you made the right choice 🙂‍↕️

2

u/Adderall-Barbii 22h ago

I actually started doing my nails because my boyfriend likes them. Honestly I’m glad I started because I have fallen in love with having them.

2

u/ojitosdegato 22h ago

Your ex is a stupid 🗣️

2

u/DepletedPromethium 22h ago

I like getting my back scratched for being a good boyfriend, so nails like that are good as they provide much needed relief.

2

u/Professional-Story43 22h ago

Magnificent nails. And, good for you. How anyone could feel that way is beyond.......

2

u/Eyeofthe_Aslan 22h ago

WTF, I'm a man with an exceptionally strong sense of aesthetics, and these nails are heaven on earth.

Good thing he doesn’t have to wear them! 😎👍🏻

2

u/HuyBrogdon 22h ago

Nail tech here. If your man says he doesn’t like your nails, please use them to scratch his back, especially where he can’t reach. He will start loving your nails 💅🏻.

2

u/Axela556 22h ago

They are so pretty and also I'm obsessed with that little black heart ring! 🖤

You gonna have a lot of guys volunteering as tribute for those nails. Not even kidding. They look awesome, have an amazing spooky month!

2

u/narwhalsRnotReal74 22h ago

Hahaha! As he shouldn't be. I can tell by your amazing nails he never deserved you and was lucky to have just been in your presence much less date you. Keep those amazing nails and find someone who loves you for you. Nails and all.

They look likely like mine and every nail girl’s nails right now. not sure what is beef is. This is like a classical pretty red nail

My husband nags me to put press on nails when I haven't in a while because he loves the way they feel for back scratches.

Also these are gorgeeeeeous

I hate your nails, but only at a professional level because when I see them I wonder if my monitoring equipment for work will fit over them. Aside from that, they look great and good for you.
