Over the last few years, specifically since September 19th, 2008, I've come to realize that there's more stuff to worry about, than what other people, especially other men, think about your masculinity.
Like many guys on here, I get pedicures on a fairly regular basis, and I enjoy them.
The last time I went, it was me, a guy from church, his wife, and another church friend's wife. My bride didn't go because she wanted to get hers a few days later. As my cute little Asian pedicurist was finishing up, she asked what color polish I wanted. I told her bright green.
She walked off and came back with an awesome, bright, lime green polish and sat back down, at my feet. I told her that was perfect. She shook the bottle and looked at me, as if waiting for me to tell her to stop. I just smiled. Then she unscrewed the bottle and pulled out the little brush; again, looking at me, expecting me to tell her to stop. I kept smiling. She finally got the hint, that we were really going to do this, and away she went. A few minutes later, I had 10 bright green toe nails. It was all she could do to keep from laughing. About half way into it, most of the people in the place had to have a look and were all smiling ... maybe laughing at me, maybe laughing with me, but I hope, for their sake, it was the latter.
She finished the polish and asked if I'd like some polka dots, hearts, or tiger stripes. Tiger stripes would be just fine, so away she went with some black polish.

The three friends thought it was hilarious. My bride laughed till her stomach hurt. All our friends, that we went to Surfside with, smiled every time they saw my toes. A few weeks later, when I had my foot surgery, my doctor told me that it brightened up the OR and have everyone smiling, in an otherwise grim room.
Am I less of a man for having my toenails painted? My wife doesn't think so, so I could really care less about what you might think of my "man card". I really feel sorry for all you guys that are too macho to enjoy things that are outside your comfort zone ... you're missing a LOT that life has to offer.
Canny, don't live your life trying to save some ficticious card!
