Most of you probably doesn't have a gf or some shit. Try to touch a boob or ass with rough hands and see whether they like.. Oh, I forgot.. most here are into fatties (and these doesn't feel much anyway). I've once ripped these silk-pants (whatever they called in En) just by rubbing her leg with my palm due to callus and dry skin flakes.
Even with gloves I get these and have to remove every once in a while. Not to mention - if you do weighted pull-ups (for ex.) - the palms/fingers may become tired faster than muscles, while a layer of material provides some additional support/firmness.
Not wearing gloves due to "phaggotry" is a phaggotry by itself (trying to hide the "closet homo" inside, instead of being secure about your sexuality and wearing pink spandex pants and a knot-tied on the stomach t-shirt like I do)
