Do you prefer long or short fingernails? (www.newsweek.com)

Apparently short nails are a fashion statement now as opposed to a thing that just happens because you work with your hands too much and your thyroid is underactive - uh, I mean they're totally short because I AM A CONFIDENT WOMAN. But I've always envied women with naturally long nails, and enjoy looking at other people's professionally manicured nails.

Short.

Firstly, I have a phobia of damaging my nails, and they invariably get caught in something when they're long.

Secondly, I have real trouble cleaning filth out from under them when they're long.

Thirdly, nsfw reasons.

Thirdly, I like masturbating from time to time, which given the aforementioned concerns, is safer and more hygienic with short nails. The thought of scratching my vag scares me to a comparable level as that of breaking a nail.

Third is an excellent safety point! It's a big way to get internal problems
