I've always thought they were for cutting off the little piece of skin
that is sometimes at the right or left end of a nail. But it fanally
occurred to me that I only have that once a year or less and even then
I
think it's becauase I do bad things with my fingernail, things most
people don't do.

My mother had a pair of them and I know she never mistreated her
fingers.

So do you or your wives have one of these things; how often do you have
a use for it? Is it just for that little stub of skin at the front
corner of a nail?

I beg of you: create a bookmark that points to google. Or duckduckgo.
Or make it your home page when you open your browser, or open a new
tab in your browser.

There was no video on the ad I saw, and it didn't occur to me that there
would be one elsewhere, even though I couldn't imagine what they were
for, other than what I said.

Wow. What a silly, maybe horrific thing to do to oneself! Pushing the
skin at the root of the nail back. Why? Is there a need for that? Does
someone want to erect an office building? A shopping center? What
benefit does 0.5 mm. of extra nail do anyone in place of the skin that
is already there?

I thought I "mistreated" my nails by not use nail trimmers regularly or
properly, but in my entire life, I've never had the need to mess with
anything but those front corners (and them rarely). All ten look
fine. And my toes too.

Am I just lucky? Are women plagued by RSGC, rampant skin growth of the
cuticle? Does it make it hard to type? To put on finger rings? I
just googled the RSGC Foundation, and it says this is mostly a problem
in 3rd world countries, but there are cases in the USA. Now I feel
guilty that I've been callous. My heart goes out to all those with
excessive cuticle formation (ECF).

It is just another symptom of things society has done to convince
women and some men to do in the quest for some perceived extra level
of beauty.

If a woman is engaging and personable I might not even notice
if her fingernails are painted. I am certainly not going to make
any7 judgement based on cuticle maintenance.

Yeah, you don't even notice when they are fat.

Bony ass women are usually high maintenance and sickly.

I dated a girl who didn't seem extremely thin when I looked at her, but
when I sqeezed her rear, I could feel her pelvis bone. I really
disliked that. Thinking about it almost made me sick. (Still does.)
But she had good cuticles and that made up for it.

I can tell that I have pelvic bones when I press on my side, but when I
touch/squeeze my bottom, there is no evidence of it. AFAIK even when I
was normal weight, there was no bone in there. Just nice rubbery stuff.
That's the way it should be. I don't want to know about someone's
innards.
