1: Hygiene is no doubt a huge part of what attracts a woman to a man, however, what do women think when they see a man with slightly longer nails than usual? (Long as in approx. 1 and a half cm from the meat of your finger.)
2: Does it look feminine in any way?
3: If I was to keep it long, how would I look after them, and make sure they don't snap, while at the same time, not making them look feminine?
Thanks.

"Slightly longer"? I'd say 1.5 cm is pretty much overgrown to my mind. Most girls I know don't keep their nails that long! Provided they're not ragged and sharp at the edges and clean underneath though, I don't notice mens nails. Except the creepy randomly extra-long little finger nail thing you sometimes see. That makes my skin crawl for some reason.
So yeah...I don't think my first thought at meeting a guy with nails that long would be 'Wow, what a ~girl~' but more like "Jesus! What's with the horror-show talons?! DON'T WANT."
You can easily maintain long nails without making them look girly, but considering you might end up tinkering out putting on hardening varnish to stop them being brittle, and filing them to keep the shape neat, that's still pretty feminine in and of itself. Or you could go to a nail bar. Apparently there are some that cater to men only but i have no idea what that would entail.
