Women shouldn't get tattoos.

Women shouldn't wear pants.

Men shouldn't wear skirts. (Please don't tell the Scots.)

Jewelry is for women, for sure!

Men hunt. Women gather. Period.

And absolutely, nail polish is only for women!

It's fun and surely interesting to consider gender. The more I consider it, the more I agree that gender is not a biological issue. There may be only two sexes, but there are as many genders as the imagination will permit.

A few months ago I was drawn to, or had a "pull" towards. doing something with my body. I'm not really interested in tattoos or jewelry, so what I thought I needed was a cologne. Something that reflected how I really felt. I was looking for something that smelled like patchouli and basil. But, not finding that, I finished my shopping by coming home with a bottle of nail polish! I thought I'd try it on my feet.

It was red. Very red! And at first there seemed to be a sexual charge involved. But that soon faded, or changed, to just "an interest". I tried other colors, a week for some, just a couple days for others. But what I found was the more I wore the polish, the more natural it felt. I was beginning to like it! I was imagining riding through the desert to California on my motorcycle. In sandals, toes gleaming with the color of the desert sand.

As of now I have not received one negative comment. In public, no-one seems to notice, or if they do, they're quiet about it. One woman I stopped to talk to while biking said, "Nice! The color matches your helmet." My daughter said, "Good raisin color, Dad!" Another friend gave me a bottle of polish that she thought would "look good on me". Another friend suggested that I treat myself to a pedicure as the last time she was at the salon she was sitting next to a man who was also getting one. My girlfriend gave me a bag of polishes and said to just keep on being me. (Bless her!)

My favorite comment was from my granddaughter who asked me why I painted my toes. When I told her I just thought it would be fun, she looked again and said, "Well, the color matches your sandals," and went on playing. Kids are great! They accept what they see and just keep on playing. Their minds don't yet need to judge.

But my mind does. And I found myself easily judging colors as being too feminine or too "teeneybopper-ish". Some colors I thought I could wear in public with comfort and others I thought would take more "guts". I stayed with this for a while until I finally realized that I was doing this for me. When I tried to imagine choosing a color that would be acceptable to others I got a sense that the "fun" of it was evaporating.

A benefit that I didn't expect is that I now pay more attention to my own feet and take better care if them. I'm your mailman, and my grocery money comes from walking.

So that's it. My suggestion is that if you're a man reading this, just try it. Even if you never take your socks off I'm sure that whatever comes up for you will be interesting.

I could have written this story! Seriously, I have been wearing my toenails painted for close to ten years now, and though it took a while to become comfortable with the idea, when I realized, like the author, that I was doing it for me and not to get a reaction or impress others, it all fit. I enjoy seeing my toenails painted in vivid colors, it brings me a kind of unexplainable satisfaction. Thanks for the great story!

Color for everyone!

I wholeheartedly agree with the author, nail polish has no gender. I think anyone who feels like adding a little color in their life should feel free to do so, and enjoy it!

Toenail Polish works for me!

I enthusiastically agree with the author! It does feel great to have healthy and attractive feet. Since my first pedicure I'be been hooked on this!

And yes, I also wear my toenails polished in various 'earthy' colors. I'm not interest d in my feet looking like a woman's, I just like the way they look when painted.

I'm happily married to a gal who also likes the way my feet look with my toenails painted. I recommend you try it if interested and just enjoy it. It doesn't really matter what others think about it as long as you enjoy it.

Nail Polish is for everyone!

I found this story particularly intriguing, especially because it was just two weeks ago that my girl friend 'treated' me to a pedicure complete with polish!

It began innocently enough, she was painting her toenails with a deep maroon nail polish and I remarked that I really liked the color. She thanked me and them really surprised me be asking if I would like to try it. She caught me off guard and took my hesitation in answering as an affirmative. Next thing I knew she was painting my toenails maroon!

When she finished she asked me what I thought and I honestly felt they looked okay. She seemed delighted that I didn't ask her to remove it and she even complimented me on how she liked it. I ended up wearing my toenails with polish on them for almost two weeks, she just took it off last night. I declined a 'redo' when she offered

(she was painting hers bright pink) but said I'd take her up on it another time.

What surprised me was that I actually liked how they looked painted. I did a little research to find out if this was unique and discovered that there is a growing number of guys who are wearing their nails (mostly toenails) painted now, I guess it's an emerging style. Who knew?

Nail polish is for anyone who likes it

Much as the author discovered, wearing ones nails painted in vivid colors is actually quite enjoyable. Most women would readily agree but the majority of men would balk at the thought of being 'feminized' if anyone dared suggest it.

I think nail polish can be freely worn by anyone who desires to wear it. Period. It's just paint, that's all, and it certainly will not alter your sex or gender.

I've been wearing my toenails polished for close to seven years and thoroughly enjoy the way it looks and feels. And pedicures are a wonderful way to relax and unwind. And, as the author points out, you tend to take better care of your feet when you polish them because more people notice your feet.

It's truly one of those "don't knock it until you've tried it" things in life that may totally surprise you.
