As hard as it is to POLITELY tell people the truth (your fingernails are too long, your breath stinks, your body is lumpy, Are you in yet?) you never let yourself down in the end. I am a happy camper that this site is up. The three of you guys write in a language I can finally read once more. Gracias. Sigh….Emily…..I've missed you too long.

Refreshing! Ms. Heartburn,

Long nails on men? Why??? Either a cocaine addiction, or some strange OCD symptom. My reply to the questioner would be this: Ask him WTF is up with his long-ass nails. Do not attempt to conceal the expression of disgust on your face as you pose the question. Evaluate his answer in light of everything you know about men who insist on having long-ass nails. (And, I just need to say...EEEEEWWWWW!) No, no, no! Long nails on men? Why??? Either a cocaine addiction, or some strange OCD symptom.

Cutting his nails makes him less repulsive and risks diluting his attentions. Because "smart, funny and successful," as opposed to big penis, fun tee-shirts and membership in Best Buy RewardZone, are your judging criteria, you are not deep. Grab this fellow, never let him go and discourage showering.

Just wait till things get hot and heavy and then gently yank off one of those nails with a pair of needle-nose pliers you've thoughtfully hidden between the sofa cushions beforehand. Either he'll get the hint or he'll get to like it. Why write a letter to the New York Times about it?
