Man pedicure??!

Preface:

My buddy is a medic, all into MA, drinks, smokes, wears a shirt that says “porn star” on it, etc. to give you some background. Just about as far from a metro sexual type and not a PC bone in his body.

Story:

He says, "going to get my regular pedicure, wanna come?

"excuse me? Did you just say you’re getting a pedicure?!

He launches into a lecture on me about as a medic, he knows healthy feet are essential, especially is jungle/tropical climates (which we are), as small cuts turn into infections, bacteria issues, etc, etc and I need to get with the program.

Call me out of touch, and I’m far from knuckle dragging manly man, but considered the pedicure the realm of women and metro sexual men, and or gay men. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

His mother BTW, was a Major in the airforce and a nurse. I asked her if all the testosterone from my body would be removed due to pedicure, how man “man points” I’d lose, and if she as ex mil med professional, woman, and Major, would approve.

She said “hell yes, good healthy feet are essential. Try it.”

So off we went…

Conclusion:

Am I sold on the pedicure? Not really. Felt nice, and yes, did a much better job off it then I do to be sure, but can’t really see it as a regular thing personally.

OK, who does this? Or do you need to stay :ph34r: due to fear of losing your man card? :cool:

It was only once!!! :fie:

Will, what color polish did you get?

Sorry, I could NOT resist that one…

Tried it once with the Wife, wasn’t bad or too emasculating, neither was it so groundbreaking an experience that I’d do it again. YMMV.

I’m guessing my wife would like it, it would save her from vacuuming the clippings out from under my desk.

I’ll give you a pass. I felt my eyes getting moist during Opie’s funeral scene on Sons of Anarchy, and I can hardly hold myself together when that girl cries at the end of the movie Against All Odds.

No way I want to be around people when I watch Old Yeller.

My heavy hat in Boot Camp told us on the last day that we should all go out and get one like he was going to do lol. He told us all the hell our feet go through that you should really take care of your feet so they can take care of you.

I still have not had one and that was 8.5 years ago I was told to go get one lol

I would like to try it though. See if its better than me just soaking them in epsom salt every now and again

Never have, but my wife did buy us a couples massage last year for Valentines day.

She got this little blonde hottie and I got Helga the Vonderbitch! This chick was about 7 feet tall and STRONG! If Ivan Drago (Rocky movie) had a sister, she would have been it! Oh, and yes, it was definitely a “she”.

They don’t do anything you can’t do at home. The epsom salt thing is a good suggestion and make sure you cut the nail straight across. I went through several ingrown nails when I was a teenager and they suck. I was cutting the nail wrong since I didn’t know any better. Also its good to let your feet air out some everyday and to walk around barefoot.

If you get calluses get one of those little things that look like a cheese grater and a good nail brush.

I personally don’t see anything wrong with a pedicure but I can’t stand the strong chemical smell of those places. Gives me a headache.

My woman begged, pleaded, twisted my arm to get me to go get a pedicure at her regular place. So I went. I agree with Belmont, the small was overpowering, I bet those girls that work there get high off it. I got the same treatment that Will and Belmont got, it was good and my feet felt the cleanest in almost 50 years but I can’t see paying somebody $20 - $30 everytime I want to get my toe nails clipped.

So one time, that was enough.

50 Shades of Grey and now this . . . :eek:

I must have logged into the wrong forum again!

The person who told me I should is above your pay grade sir! :stuck_out_tongue:

No doubt! :smiley:

I cut off thick calluses from kicking and tight fitting shoes with an exacto knife + trim toe nails.

That’s a pedicure right?

Edit: And dried dead skin around the big toe nail too, since I wear sandals a bunch during the summer.

Nyet.

What if my pinky toenail is just like a big fucked up mass, my big toes are permanently cracked, and the balls of my feet look like lavarock, can they fix that?

Slather them nasties up in lotion or jelly, and sleep with zip lock bags over your feet.

:smiley:

:frowning:

Wait, would a man pedicure be a…

manicure?
