So I don’t wear gloves in winter, because, you know, that’s kinda gay (jk). I also always have at least one hand exposed to the weather, because I usually hold something. The other hand can be in the pocket if the windchill is particularly bad, and I would switch back and forth after a while. Physical sensation of coldness does not bother me (because I am a real man), nor the loss of precision of movements while hands are cold, because seriously, I don’t smoke or anything, so I don’t need precise manipulation when outside anyway. Hands would become red in extreme windchill and after coming into warmer space. Like I said, it does not bother me at all, but I wonder if it is bad for me health-wise? Does it increase chance of developing some kind of condition later in life, like arthritis, or perhaps my hands will develop wrinkles earlier?
Btw I am young. I also don’t wear hats, because with all my long hair, I don’t need a hat to wear.
It’s not really clear what kind of temperatures you’re talking about. I often go without gloves when other people are wearing gloves (I dunno, they’re just a bother) but I’m talking about temps that are like right around freezing. Above freezing I wouldn’t worry about it (unless it’s wet/windy).
When you start to feel painfully cold in below-freezing temps you need to warm your hands and if you move from being painfully cold to total numbness = DANGER. Your nerves are being killed, ie, frostbite.

What does this mean? You don’t want people to know you are homosexual? I don’t think people think that only homosexuals wear gloves. Besides, you shouldn’t be ashamed of your sexuality.
I was just kidding. I am sorry you did not get it (because you are living under a rock), but you can surely find plenty of examples of similar usage on the internet and study them.
Well if you were a real man, you wouldn’t need gloves because there would always be a cluster of women around you urging you to keep your hands warm under their clothing. Instead, you’ve got one hand in your pocket, giving yourself a high five.
Kate Upton was recently naked at the South Pole. She’s more man than you.
Kids don’t wear hats or gloves (or coats, or boots, or sometimes even long pants) in the winter because somehow they think acknowledging it’s cold is a sign of personal weakness.
Among the many, many acts of stupidity folks endure before they turn 25, this is one of the least troubling.
But I date women by choice, not by chance. And there are too few that are in my league, if you know what I mean. And I have no idea who this Kate Upton you are talking about is, but I guess she is just trying too hard.
Ah yes, I get it now. You old dinosaurs no longer have the balls to endure it, and you are simply jealous.
Worn gloves today. Noticed a difference. People laughed. More than usually. But hands strangely comfortable. Must be missing something. Will update later.
Zapp S., casual sexual slurs are not appropriate to General Questions, even if you are “kidding.” Neither are insults. Your remarks are verging on trolling. No warning issued, but don’t do this again.
This is closed. If you want to ask a question about the health effects of not wearing gloves, you may open another thread, but ask the question straight-up, without the side commentary.
