    Do you think fingernail biting is gross?

    My friend and I were arguing over whether or not it is gross for someone to bite their fingernails. I honestly don't give a shit, and wouldn't think twice about asking a girl out if she had her finger in her mouth. But my friend says that most people think it is disgusting. Well help me out on this one guys, and lets let the numbers be the deciding factor.

    I bite my nails like 100 times a day. But I have sexy nails, so they still don't look bad.

    I don't care either way, but I do like when girls look nice, and a manicure never hurts.

    I have a friend who is always biting their nails. I always tell him to stop because I wouldn't want to be a person who always has their finger in their mouth. It just makes you look stupid. Little things annoy me; maybe I have a problem instead of the nail biters.

    I think that nail biting is a symptom of an underlying mental disorder.

    Who cares... The people said they would not date a fingernail biter are full of it. If they met their idea of a perfect man/woman, but he/she bit their nails, they were good looking, funny, rich, whatever, they would date him.

    Yep fingernail biting is associated with anxiety disorders
    The U.S. National Library of Medicine defines fingernail biting as a sign of anxiety, chronic tension or uncontrollable compulsion that, in extreme cases, requires psychological help.

    This guy I work with told me that he never gets sick because he eats his finger nails. He said that because he is constantly eating his nails he is ingesting those germs and his body has become immune to sickness.

    So, if you want to take that idiots advise it is actually good for you but I would not count on that.

    Reduce the friend relationship to that of "acquaintance", read a little about the immune system, then try not to laugh at your acquaintance too hard in front of him cuz damn ... what a moron.

    I bite my nails, I have since I was young. They take a real pounding come Exam time.

    I've seen people who bite their nails right down near to the cuticle. Their fingers are bleeding and red but they keep going. I'm no where near that bad.

    If I remember correctly fingernails biting is a sign of inward anxiety or anxious. Similar to girls playing with their hair and not knowing it.
