    I have always worn gloves and always will.

    Just reading what you wrote I thought the guy was being nice sort of like "now that you are lifting, you know what damage it can do to your hands. Look how bad my gloves look when that could be my hands." Not that I can hear how he said it, but just reading it made me think he was just making conversation or flirting or just being impressed now that you are starting proper lifting.

    Yes, I wear gloves when I lift, with no apologies.........I tell whomever that "I'm delicate" and then proceed to lift. Those calluses hurt! I love to lift but I don't want sore hands! Then again, I live in a wee small town and most everyone here knows everyone else....but my daughter who lifts and competes started me using the gloves.........don't let it bother you! Wear em if you want! The fact that some guy gave you static makes me a bit growly.....I don't think that "real" lifters harass others....because "real" lifters are busy lifting. Just MY opinion!
