are you a man?

[Rick]

my misus keeps moaning about me having rough hands but i refuse to moisturise them

 

after years of exposure to paint and oil i have hands like leather gloves and she hates it.

 

i kinda like it, its how a man should be, rough and rugged grrr

 

so heres the question:

 

do you prefer to be

 

rugged and manly

or

smooth like a baby

 

also women post your opinions

[Stu_B]

I work in an office by day..... but in the evening & weekends I fiddle with cars & BMX - ensuring I always have callouses & a healthy helping of oil & dirt under my nails!

Hands like old boots rule!!! None of this moisteuring game !!! I prefer to soak my hands in castrol R

Also lots of man wounds is a good thing as well !! Nothing like a mangled finger or 6 inch scar down your arm to get the ladys talking !

i'm a bit of both, i'm training to be an accountant, and if you have greasy hands all of your paperwork gets buggered off so i have to have grease-free hands for that. but then i do work on the car, so i'm half and half.

 

i must say, i prefer having clean hands over filthy petrol smelling ones

[NHR115]

I like a man to be a bit of both. I certainly dont want him spending more time than me in the bathroom getting ready but I do like him to look after himself

A little rough but not smeggy

I'd hate to have girly hands, but I am careful about exposure of my hands to oils and diesel as dematitis and skin cancer are really not nice. So yes I do on occasion use moisturiser and always use barrier cream as fully synthetic oils can be pretty nasty.

Clean deffo smooth like Sada said smooth operator.My hands are a bit rough tho due to work and my belly button is clean

[Mr Sam]

mine are all cracked and rough, quite smooth today though as had cloves on all day

[ann_capri]

i dont mind as long as there clean

[Trevmk3]

mine are manly hands lots of steelwork has sorted that out, although i do get the bastard file out from time to time to take some of the edge off the palms

[Muttley MK2]

I go for the clean and protected pandies, having had dermatitus several times after decades of having crap and oil all over my little pinkies!!!

[bmxdave]

My hands are always oily. Sometimes you just cant get all the shit out. I clean as much of my nails as possible without using too much valuable energy.

 

Many a girlfriend has moaned about callus's. F@ck em i say. Although since i stopped riding my BMX its only really the big ratchets that cause them.

[louie bagel]

i work on cars 7days a week but i always clean my hands properly and remove dead skin with a pumice stone, dont mind getting dirty or cutting my hands, but i'd rather go out and go to bed with nice clean hands

 

 

i also moisterise my face aswell

[antz]

im the only one that goes to work in an office and has paint covered hands from hammerite, spray paint etc etc etc

[geoffersmasher]

my hands are as rough as sand paper. even people with rough hands say so.

dont get me started, ive been riding for 10 years, i have 2 calus's per finger and one on my palm, terrible

[spooner]

....rough hands..........soft touch....

[Copey]

no metter how much work i do and how rough it is and how dirty my hands get the always seem to stay soft and i dont moisturise at all

[Rich Sav]

think i might be a bit of both

[deltamal]

Toolmaking... metal splinter's cuts oil and callouses, the hands ain't good!
