Yes, unless it is done with a pocket knife or surface grinder.

You are hereby instructed and ordered to locate and DESTROY your "Man Card" for the mere act of asking this question in public.

As penance you must perform TWO of the following without delay...
- Hunt, kill and field dress a mammal that is capable of inflicting bodily harm (e.g., squirrels don't count)
- Cut wood with steel and create a piece of furniture (not fancy... a stool is fine)
- Melt metal with fire. Bonus if you actually build something
- Participate in a physical activity which requires - as part of the rules - violent physical contact between players (e.g., soccer doesn't count) or the consumption of alcohol (e.g., Scottish log throwing).

Now, don't mention this again.

I've seen some joes with jacked up feet. I would call that medical necessity and doing the rest of us a service.

That is an almost immediate man card revocation offense unless medically necessary. You need a chit with a very clear order from a doctor okaying the procedure. Normally a change of socks and some motrin will fix any sort of foot ailment you have. If it is your hands, normally a pocketknife, K-Bar, bayonet or other manly implement can be used to fix it.

Lol I know I don't get my nails done I'll do them myself, I wouldn't be caught in a nail shop. My girlfriend always say I need to go to one to get my feet done, because she says there to rough. Lol I'll never go, but to make her happy I'll do them myself.

SGT Private RallyPoint Member even as a cubicle commando, if my fingernails get longer than I want, I either rip them off, or cut them off with a knife. Manicure is something that my wife gets when she needs to relax.

Not if it was done by the girls at the Kunsan AB Barber Shop. Anyone who was there in the 80s and 90s knows what I mean. They were awesome!

I have a masters in "guy code" been it studying for years. It is kinda open for interpretation as most "guy codes" are. I suggest you check the guy code book. It can be found at the public library next to "understanding women" volume 41. You should find your answer in book 17, page 576 under chapter 42 " is the man bun for me"? Hopefully this helps.

A man gets to do things for himself. Major Fred has it spot on - a good pedicure and lower leg massage is invaluable to the health of your feet. Especially later in life.
