    Angry Nail length

    Hi Girls,

    anybody had issues with the length of their nails & their job?

    I'm trying to get in to dancing, I have a great body and I'm always being told I'm pretty, but I have extremely long nails (natural, which I adore) I went for an audition last night and the guy who auditioned me told me he'd take me on providing I trimmed my nails back. This is not an option for me. All day everybody comments on my nails and men go crazy about them. Its taken me several years to get my nails this long and though you may think "why would anybody want 6" nails" they r my nails and I will grow them any length I like. I can still function perfectly well with them and was upset that the job offer was conditional on me trimming them down a couple of inches. Any of you know of other girls who dance and have very long nails?

    p.s. my toenails are approx an inch past the ends of my toes but he thought they were cute!

    IF those are your nails in your picture there...wow! I know you love them, but i really think it's not going to work in a club dancing.

    Only reason. You're out of the norm here. And that to me is not a bad thing, but many people will think they look freakish!

    There is no easy way to say it, but just say it!

    I adore the way they look, but it's not a "work" look....i don't think even for stripping.

    Remember dancers can be catty....They will make fun, and have customers perhaps join in.

    That is just what i feel....i could be wrong. I never worked with a woman who had nails that long. But my first look at the picture i thought "omg, kinda freaky!"

    Good luck,

    Pamela

    I think it depends what kind of club you go apply at. If your a pretty girl, with s good personality and a nice body, there will be clubs that will hire you. Itis true that you willbe out of the ordinary, but that can be a good thing. And you said that men usually love them. Just try a smaller, non-corporate or gown club, like a neighborhood club or something.

    Most people see fingernails like that and think, "Ew." It looks dirty and unhygenic, and like you don't bother to take care of yourself. Just my humble opinion.

    Maybe the club is worried about you hurting somebody with them. Also, men might think that you might accidently scratch them, and then they will have to make up some lame excuse to their wives. Personally, if yours are the ones in the picture, they remind me of one of those scary homeless people that I would see talking to themselves at bus stops when I was little. Sorry, if that offends you, but I just don't find them attractive. I have never worked in a club with any girls with nails like that, nor do I think managers at the club I'm at now would hire them.

    I would seriously think you wouldn't be able to do lap dances with those nails. You would just end up breaking them wth all the manuvers they require. To be blunt, Your hands look like a freak show,I doubt men would get past this to even get dances from you. Maybe if you could wear gloves to hide them,maybe yougot a chance,other then that no. sorry.

    I just had to ask, your 1-inch past the tip toenails, do you have to get larger size shoes?
    It's cool that you could keep them that long without them breaking first.

    A lot of men don't like long nails. I have seen guys shudder when talking about the usual type of longer nails. Perhaps you could do a fetish website instead?

    ladies,
    thanks for your opinions, seems dancing & my nails may not be the best match. Honestly 90%+ of guys love my nails, i get at least ten compliments for every "you freak" comment. There's no way I would injure anybody, firstly they r fragile & secondly I'm too scared of breakin them. They are definitely not unhygenic, i scrub them with a toothbrush at least twice a day, how many of you have nails that clean? And with regard to my toes, no i do not buy larger shoes, i wear open toe sandals or flip flops.
    Anyways thanks for your thoughts, they are appreciated.

    I have 1 inch, acrylic nails and I break them at work constantly. If they're that fragile, I do not suggest dancing with them. Whereas random men you meet may like the nails, guys at strip clubs tend to go to strip clubs with a preset image in their minds. I get enough rejection for not having a tan, nails like that are going to do you the same injustice. I suggest http://www.ournails.com/ or http://www.fetishnails.com/ instead of dancing.

    keep on auditioning I really don't see any reason why you can't dance with them. Christ, it's not like you want to be a secretary!

    hahaha! you never know, it could be a conversation starter and might work for you. Maybe try another club and see. What kind of job do you have now? Seems it would be hard to do anything with nails like that. Shoot, I can't even get mine past a couple millimeters to grow before they break but I have a job where I use my fingers a lot so I can't have them that long anyway.

    Okay, as unjust and nasty as I think this is, one can legitimately argue that appearance is a bona fide job requirement. They can refuse to hire you for virtually any appearance related reason, and honestly - I don't normally say this, normally I am all about "Honey, you will find what works for you" - your nails are NOT going to work for you. In this case I think it is just as much the manager trying to look out for you as anything else. I mean, yes, some guys like unusual nails like yours, but it is kind of a specialized taste (here's a thing - not everyone who compliments you means it. Like I've said "wow that's neat" about unusual hair when I didn't really think it was neat at all. It just really demanded attention and commetary. And people who tell you, unasked, that you are freak are just unpleasant people and I'm glad there aren't many of them). If you really love your nails (as you clearly do) I would go with Paige's good idea, which is to go to places where men will love them as much as you do. I hope that whatever you finally decide that it works out. If you are set, set, set on dancing, you can always try a club where they can't be that choosy and work your way up, and really see if it works or if the manager (and us bitchy girls) are right.

    Most people have to compromise something for their jobs. It's a shame that your nails are holding you back, but if you really want to dance, cutting them is a compromise you will have to make (or at least at that club, if you haven't tried others). This is how I see it, if you want to strip you have to do certain things, shave certain things, maintain a healthy weight in order to do your job because it's so appearance oriented.
    btw, it's cool that you can grow them so long. Mine always chip after they get about 1/2 cm long and it's annoying

    No kidding! I couldn't have those nails if I tried.

    I think you can probably find work, and can probably make some money as a dancer...but it seems a shame, becase you'll be making a lot less than you could without the nails.

    What about cutting them back a bit? So they're still noticeably long, but not curling down at the ends?
