In Pakistan, it is a fashion by some bachelors until they get married.
There was this guy that had a long pinky nail and when i asked why he said because he uses that finger like a guitar pick, if that makes sense? He told me this years ago hence i'm finding it rather difficult to find the right words to say it haha!
Not every man is a real man ... some men are women and some of them are animals.
Exactly..I have noticed this too and honestly,I used to think they are gays.
To play guitar! Or some other musical instrument with strings.
The truth is allot of men are lazy, especially when they are in a relationship or happy being single, they don't feel the need to try as much, and thus they don't groom as much.
This is probably the crux of it for most men although the other answers do list various specific reasons but they are highly subjective.
I really have no idea about people in your area. But i am an Indian and this was a usual sight for me to see my uncles have long nails on the pinkies. It isn't quite popular these days but it was back then. There is an orthodox belief in people from India that it brings wealth and prosperity to them. It also signifies their high- status. And it tends to be the pinky because it is the least used fingernail probably.
There could be many reasons for this. As many have stated, one common thought would be the use of snorting drugs. The long nail allows the person to use it as a scooping tool that's always, well, handy.
Another use may be they play a stringed instrument, such a guitar. Although, more common for the thumb and pointer nail to be grown out to use as a pick, there are a number of talented people who play differently. It could be beneficial to their playing style.
Finally, it may even be a trend they like.
I work with somebody who has a learning inability. He doesn't enable anybody to cut his fingernails. Along these lines, his fingernails remain long until the point that they sever. The general population saying 'urgh, net', well. We as a whole do net things, I'm certain. A few of us are essentially better at concealing them.
I also know someone that has long fingernails on his pinky. I always see him for hygienic purpose (might sound gross) but he uses his long nails to pick his nose or ear.
Some Men that have long fingernail maybe is part of their fashion.
because some females have really short fingernails..
Because they thought. They would lokk better with long nailo.

I have seen some guitar players with long fingernails. I guess it helps them in playing guitar comfortably.
The men that I know that have longer nails are guitarists. Possibly that is why a male you met had long nails.
They get long nails because SOME boys are gross and don't clip their nails. All the boys I know clip there's, even my boyfriend clips his!!
It's just a cultural thing. There are a lot of sub-cultures in the world.

Do you prefer long or short nails?I have recently began growing my nails. As a lifetime biter, I have been used to the shortness, but I like the look of longer nails. As they are growing, I am noticing that I dont like the feeling of them against objects. Is the discomfort worth it? Are long nails...
