What's the longest a blokes nails can be before he's considered odd or effeminate?

Due to the fact I hardly ever do any real work my nails are getting quite long. I usually bite them off at this point but have decided to keep them a while longer (They're very useful for nose/ear picking).

I wouldn't normally ask, but as this forum is becoming morgue-like I thought I'd try to inject some life into it with this absorbing, interesting and informative thread.

 I always think it should be up to one's ladyfriend, whether she likes the extra bit of finger, or prefers something smoother.

Agreed, personally I think anything beyond the fingertip is bent (for men).

If it's big and ripe enough to warrant picking, typically a quick nudge with the old index digit is sufficient to send it tumbling.

The only men that can pull off a long fingernail are pimps for snorting purposes.  Blokes that have long nails just looking awful and a bit bent.

That said I can't stand having my nails cut right to the limit and as a general rule once it starts creeping over the flesh line its trimmed back.

Mind seem to grow quicker than I would care, they get cut when I can find the nail clippers. Sometimes they're kept longer on one hand
