I have always associated rough hands with hard work.
When I was younger, some people said that my hands were smooth. Nowadays though, my children tell me that my hands are rough.
I have done a lot of manual work in my life. Being a mother and wife, having no maids, I tended to do a lot of work using my hands. Sometimes I wear gloves, only to protect my newly painted fingernails, lol.
My hubby has a very rough hand. I love his arms though, they are big, like Popeye's. He's also a working man and works hard, with his hands.
Do you like smooth or rough hands?

Obviously smooth hands but then that was never a choice because the work and the results that followed always are a priority.I 've just washed a stack of dishes

Yes, we do use our pair of hands a lot, specially when we become adults.

I have always had soft and smooth hands. The only time I did household chores was when I lived alone in Bangkok for 6 months but that didn't affect the softness of my hands.
I like men with strong grip but not rough.

@vickyrose I ran away from my home country to forget some problems and stayed there for 6 months.

Strong grip is good for men, but women too can have strong grip. What did you do in Bangkok?

I observed that those who massage, phisiotherapist, doctors and surgeons, the corporate executives have smooth hands.

@vickyrose My Mom has very rough hands, it is true she worked a lot, but the fact is that she never cared to protect her hands.

@LadyDuck Maybe in those days, lotions and softeners were not popular then. My hands are rougher than my mom. She was a teacher and we had helpers in her home.

I have rough hands too for i do all the house chores. My daughters will even complain every time I put efficacient oil in their backs when they have cough. I just put lotion on my hands to minimize its roughness.

I used to have a weak wrist, but with constant use, learned to be skillful in some activities.

My hands sometimes get quite rough. It depends on what I have been doing. I try to remember to rub hand-cream into them. That helps a lot.

it is better to have rough hands than to have smooth because you know that you are working,than to have smooth hand don't know nothing

Yes, indeed. But I observed that some people, no matter how hard they work their hands, it remained soft,maybe because of lotions or their genes.
