Plucking is the only way to go. Nails People notice your hands-they are a part of how you express yourself when you are communicating, so you need to take care of them. There is nothing grosser than a pair of gnarled, ragged fingernails that have been chewed down to the knuckle. So it's important to keep them short enough so that you don't hurt people during handshakes. Pay attention to cuticles and hangnails.
Toenails are also important.
Whether the ladies are seeing your feet on the beach or in bed, nasty toenails are a complete turnoff. Keep them trimmed and keep them clean. Most men don't get haircuts frequently enough, which contributes to an overall sloppy look. So after you get one, ask your cutter when you should come in next, and make an appointment. If you like the unkempt rock star look, keep the length to a minimum and make sure your hair isn't greasy.
