Soft Skin Hands, Rough Skin Hands
farmerart
My Toronto sweetie commented on the rough skin on my hands during our week in Hawaii. No surprise to me. Cold temperatures, dry humidity, messing around with tools and machinery, washing with solvents to get rid of grease and drilling goop - all that does not contribute to 'baby bottom smooth' skin. I had never thought of this from the dancer's perspective before. I shall have to do something about this in the future.
Any of you other guys who work with your hands get this comment from dancers?

My work makes my hands in between the two extremes. When I was retired for a short time, I received a number of compliments about my soft hands. I've never heard a comment such as you received about them being rough, however.
@ sinclair: In my experience, dancers who do a lot of strenuous pole tricks can get rather calloused hands.
But I do make up for my soft hands w/ my super hard penis – it’s all about balance :)
BTW – several folks have commented about dry hands/skin. Drinking sufficient water is often cited as one of the best ways to have healthy skin and other organs. I don’t think a lot of folks realize they are not taking in enough H2O during the day. I always try to carry a water bottle with me to remind myself to drink enough H2O during the day.
No moisturizer, but sitting at a desk all day doing math apparently does wonders for keeping my hands in not-manly-enough condition.
