Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

I will say I see dudes getting pedis at Silk (the mani/pedi place that Perkins, debg, Suzi, and K-Bug took me to right after I moved here) all the time. They lure them in with the free food and then seduce them with the 10-minute leg massage, I bet.

He *wishes* he were.
SIL owns a nail salon and she has lured DH and her brother in for pedicures. Her DH didn't need any luring. DH and BIL both decided the whole massaging chair and foot rub thing wasn't exactly torture.
He *wishes* he were.
Seriously!
My big, manly rugby player bro gets pedicures, and sometimes has his toes painted. He says "hey, I don't want to deal with it, so every couple of weeks, I pay somebody and I'm not ashamed to wear flip flops."
You guys know I never said men shouldn't get pedicures, right? All I said was I didn't think it was a Tom thing.
(Yes, but maybe if we talk about it enough, Tom will *want* to go and then I can get my toes done too. Um, my motives might be entirely selfish here.)
When I was in middle school or so, I bought a book of graphs showing all kinds of weird statistics about the US population. One of them, which I for some reason quoted for years, was that 6% of rural heterosexual men wear nail polish.
(I cannot remember the title of this book, or any of the other statistics. The only other one that I remember was a poll of men, asking them, if they went into a public bathroom that had three stalls, and someone was in one of the end stalls, would they go to the middle one or the other end, and southern men were much more likely to say the middle one.)
(What was that book called? It had a yellow cover.)
All I said was I didn't think it was a Tom thing.
Depends on why it isn't a Tom thing. If he has any "men shouldn't get pedicures" attitude, counterexamples should help. Of course, it doesn't help if he has other reasons.
I get a monthly manicure and pedicure. Biting of fingernails has been down more than 95% since I started. No nail polish.
