I do fingernails about once a week. Toenails much less often. Maybe once a month. Toenails don't seem to grow as fast.

Fingernails are approximately weekly. Toenails get done when my wife says "OUCH! Damnit, cut your toenails!"

I don't do either very often. Only when I get to the point that I notice them.

And get off my ass and cut them. That last part takes a while.

I have a clipper on my desk, and clipping is a good TWA. So they get clipped whenever they need to be clipped.
My toenails take care of themselves.

I used to bite my nails, really badly. I don't really know how I stopped; one day, I just decided not to bite them any more, after chewing them for at least a decade.

Finger nails - when they get a bit longer than the end of my finger.
Toe nails - nearly every day. I'm a bit OCD that way.

Fingernails, whenever they start to break.
Toenails, I guess i don't really keep track of how often. Just whenever they need clipped.

Fingernails - 1-2x/week
Toenails ... very rarely because they don't seem to grow very fast. I also let them get longer than my fingernails.

I usually chew the fingernails off my left hand when they get annoying long or when the fiance says they are uncomfortable in her unmentionables. My right hand is 100% different. I play flamenco so I usually spend once a day buffing the sides and tips of my right hand fingernails. I keep them from 3-5 1/2 millimeters long(starting from the end of the skin under the nail.) I also have to shape them every week or two depending on how much I play. I get a lot of funny looks but I couldnt live without my nails and periodically I end up wearing silk wraps when I break a nail.

I cut them whenever I start scratching people by accident, or when they get caught on the inside of sleeves as I'm putting on clothes or anything like that. My mom was always jealous of how long my nails could get... guess that's not really such a great thing for a guy though...

My dentist finally convinced me to stop biting my nails. It was actually wearing down my teeth and if you look closely, you can see two of my lower teeth are worn. Pretty bad for a thirty-year old.

my fingernails are fucking awesome... it's not like i paint them up and flaunt them, but they are awesome... and they grow hella fast. my work is pretty dirty, so when it gets to the point where i can't clean the dirt out from underneath them anymore, i'll trim them up.

my toenails are just weird, and they don't all grow at the same rate. i'll cut each nail when it starts catching my socks when i'm putting them on.

It used to be once every two weeks for fingers, but now that I'm eating healthier they are growing faster. I have to cut them every week now at least. Toenails not as often but still.

now, i know its a contentious issue atm regarding the appropriate grooming of the modern metrosexual, but i´m pedantic about fingers, and finger nails.

mine are very carefully maintained.
they grow quickly, so i´m constantly touching them up with the clippers and file.

i know some guys who have taken to moisturising hands at night, and who also apply that diamond fingernail polish... but i´m not quite that pedantic.

its also a really big issue when i´m meeting new girls... if i don´t like their hands and nails, then thats a breaker right there.
