do you think that if a bloke wears rubber gloves to wash up it is weird?

Question

i wear them because i have an allergy to washing up liquid it stings my hands, some people make fun of me, but my girlfriend doesnt she likes my soft hands.

Answer 1

it all depends on what your washing up

Answer 2

I think there is this notion that men should be 'manly' and 'brave' the water etc but it's a bit stupid really. Personally, I don't wear gloves but that is because they annoy me. However, if you had an allergy to anything else, no one would expect you to touch it without protection so the people who make fun of you are pretty stupid in my view.

Answer 3

im a window cleaner and after a couple of years of using washing up liquid my hands are sore,hard,flakey.which is'nt nice when you wife buys a new top and if i were to rub my hand on it it would be pulled to bits.id like soft hands.keep wearing them gloves

Answer 5

Washing up liquid? Dish washing or body washing? Either way, just tell them your girlfriend likes your hands, and say it with a sly smile.

Answer 6

I wear them all the time.

It protects my hands from the hot water - and it prevents the washing up liquid irritating my skin. And my hands remain soft.

Answer 7

No. It's fine. I once had a male housemate who wouldn't wash up because
he had eczema if his hands got wet/soapy . Then , he wouldn't wear washing-up gloves because they made his hands sweat , and that gave him eczema.
So he never washed up : so I rarely used the kitchen. Lazy b'stard. He even told me I should do it for him!!! Well really, I'm getting annoyed just thinking about it.....
You wash up, it will keep your relationship good....

Kudos to you...

M : ).

Answer 8

you could try using some natural washing up liquid (http://www.naturalcollection.com/natural-products/Earth-Friendly-Dishmate-Washing-up-Liquid-for-Sens.asp?bID=6384335) so if it doesn't sting your hands, you wouldn't need to use gloves if it bothers you so much.

it's stupid that people make fun of you though....why shouldn't men use washing up gloves?! the girlfriends would be the first to complain if their men had rough hands!

Answer 9

lol.. if you react badly to the washing liquid then defo wear gloves happily without question! I encourage my boyfriend too cos then he can have the water hotter and he cleans better! lol normally he's rubbish!.. i guess the gloves arent very manly but its not like you wear them out.. do you? kidding.. dont give it too much thought :)

Answer 10

Weird? no way! it's just survival...like me when you have an allergy you need to take the best precaution ever for your skin. If people make fun of you....so what! you do not owe them anything and certainly they're not the one who will help you heals if you burn your skin because of chemicals.

Answer 11

No I dont,plus I think its great you do the washing up in the first place....who cares what you wear
