As evidenced by the lack of responses, generally speaking: nope, nada, no way, nuh-uh, get away from me!

For whatever reason, generally speaking, it is far outside most guys comfort zone to let someone else hold his hands and feet and/or touch his fingers and toes. You ladies have done the nail polish thing solo and in groups since childhood, so you're used to that. Guys, not so much.

Your desire to treat your hubby to such pampering is truly cool and very considerate- it really is! But are you sure that he is open to that?

I ask that because on most guy's "things-we-like-to-do meter", manicures rank even lower than having to sit through a "chick flick". Why is that? Because a guy can always tune out the movie and mentally drift off to thoughts of doing something else.

And pedicures rank waaaay lower than manicures.

All is not lost though! There are some "cures" other than mani- and pedi- that interest guys...curing concrete; curing ham; curing the yips in his putting stroke....
