I feel I must clarify 
My better half got me the gloves and hat as a Bday gift. So I use them so she thinks I like them....I would never pay money for a fucking powder blue Yankee hat...LOLOL. I'm like that. . She got me the stuff.. I'll wear it...it won't kill me to be nice.
Pussification clarification

...awhile back a training partner of mine all of a sudden started wearing lifting gloves one day.I asked him what was up and he said his fiance made him start wearing them because she didn't want his hands looking all callused in their wedding pictures!

...he still hears about to this day
