The prevalence of touchscreens has probably resulted in a decrease in average fingernail length (self.showerthoughts)

I feel like I used to see a lot of women with super long nails struggling to use their touchscreen phones. I'm sure at least some of them have chosen slightly shorter nails to make it easier.

Nope. The ones I’ve seen use their knuckles, or awkwardly use the pads of their fingers. Saying this as a woman who doesn’t like long nails.

Also a woman who doesn’t like long nails. They creep me out, especially when they start to curl.

The one who use their finger tips, make a very distinct clicking noise too.

Nope.

Time for everyone's favourite statistics lesson, "anecdotal evidence don't mean shit"!

OP did say average after all.
