    I wear them when I use free weights- I plan to keep my hands beautiful- calouses are not attractive! :) Its like not wearing the right shoes for workouts- why would you not?

    There's a lot of barefoot running enthusiasts that think they're pretty bada$$.

    :sad: :sad: I get it I get it, me and my velvety soft, dainty, lilly-white peds will delicately walk to somewhere we're appreciated! :sad: :sad:

    I love men who get pedicures!! Truly sexy! Except when they go for polish! :wink:

    I'm gonna go do some bare handed deadlifts right now. Please provide some lulz for me to read when I return!

    I feel more exposed and harassed right now about BSG than I've ever felt on this site about my diet or fitness choices.

    YOU PEOPLE ARE SO MEAN!!!!

    Don't feel too bad, BSG is way over-rated. Don't get me wrong, I liked the original when I was a kid, and I like Star Trek and Star Wars, but the new BSG wasn't all that.

    Edited to add: And please, for the love of naked mole rats, the show has been dead for years...can you people PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP saying "Frak"!!

    OMG! IS THAT WHERE ALL THAT STUPID "Frak" crap came from?!!!
    NOW I HATE THAT SHOW! WITH A VENGEANCE!

    I wonder if people people think I'm a sissy for wearing goggles in the pool and shoes when I run. :-( :-(

    Screw you guys I'm calling my mom.

    Someone once told me that they would rather drown than swim with a nose plug on. But he taught me a bunch of awesome so I wont drown him.

    unless all those bombs are nuclear, I don't understand how you have flaming explosions in space without oxygen? Nuclear I would understand because of the fission, but would BSG really shoot off hundreds of nuclear bombs so haphazardly?

    I am a woman and started wearing gloves, because when the calluses started developing they HURT. I'd imagine the situation is similar for anyone. I also had an ex-boyfriend remark once on how my hands were a little rough, and, well . . . I can't imagine calluses would help THAT issue *cough cough* :wink: :laugh:

    I don't wear shoes to squat or deadlift, either. :tongue:

    I wear them (I'm obv a girl) to keep my hands from getting destroyed by the bar when lifting heavy weights. It's definitely not a fashion thing ;)

    This.

    I didn't realize I looked dumb squatting with gloves on. I put them on when I leave the locker room and take them off when I'm completely done. Then again, I also wear a mouth guard and those hideous VS shoes. God, I must be a sight.

    lol. don't worry, i've totally caught myself squatting or on the leg press machine still wearing my lifting gloves.

    I put my gloves on when I get to the gym, and take them off in the car. To constantly put them on and take them off seems fussy to me.

    try wearing a bra

    first, it is a tv show, so some poetic license is allowed.

    however, it is proven that explosions can happen in space, such as bullets, bombs, and engine thrusters. the fuel/ignition source has enough oxygen in it to allow for that to happen.

    Oye. Nuclear explosions obviously, which I stated. Also, the engine thrusters are USING oxygen pre-supplied. Are you saying that BSG uses bombs that come with oxygen tanks so they can create flames? Seems like a laser would be far more efficient.

    there is enough oxygen in a bullet/bomb/missle to allow for an explosion.

    also yeah callouses on girls.. not good under the covers.

    THIS. Exactly.

    Not everyone is the same as you. I don't comment on the people who DON'T wear gloves. It's up to the individual whether or not they want calloused hands or not.

    there is enough oxygen in a bullet/bomb/missle to allow for an explosion.

    But is there adequate oxygen for complete reaction? There would need to be a lot of compressed oxygen or it would be more like fire crackers.

    look, it's a show. an awesome show, but a fictional show. you've never watched a cop show where they get DNA results after a few mouse clicks??

    like i said, you need a little stretch of the imagination.

    Probably cause they don't want calluses. I don't wear gloves and haven't even been using chalk, but if someone else wants to, why the ef would I care.

    ^^ This. I hate chalk, and I still get calluses with it. I like having hands that don't feel like sandpaper.

    It isn't about aesthetics for me. I actually don't mind calluses, but I wear them because they really do help me with sweat, slip & grip, and there's no chalk at my gym. I don't wear them when I use my personal weights at home, because they are neoprene covered so I can grip them better.

    That's silly. No one actually does DNA tests. The police just frame whomever they want.
